i was at the fair when the shit went down on saturday night, it was pretty wild. we were in the midway by the ferris wheel and suddenly a stampede of screaming people was running towards us. immediately assumed it was a shooting and we ducked behind a coupon booth while all the panicked people ran past. we didn't hear any gunshots and the panic died down after a few minutes...but then the sirens went off over the PA and it started all over again. we couldn't hear the announcement from the PA due to all the screaming so i have no idea what they said. there were people still riding all of the rides and the screams from the people on the rides would periodically set off another stampede of people thinking something was happening. police helicopter was circling the whole time. eventually we found a cop and he told us it was safe but everyone should evacuate. definitely got the adrenaline pumping for a few minutes. the aftermath of abandoned wagons, baby strollers, midway prizes, etc was post apocalyptic looking.
