you kind of have to be ready at all times for something to happen otherwise you do get sucked in by the weight of the crowd.
i did it myself in a tube station years ago, got to the top of the central line escalator in liverpool street, it was a packed escalator and you couldn't see the top until you were there, we were commuter sausages on Koyaanisqatsi's conveyor belt.
An old man had collapsed at the top and was on his face writhing on the ground. We all kept walking, including myself.
a split second of reaction was required to help the man knowing you had a queue of people behind you that would pile up - as a result everyone walked on. i was really disturbed by my slow reactions.
visibility is so poor in a crowd. that's what these arseholes rely on.
