So where are the police standing, when you see 6 officers side by side blocking, and one officer leaves to chase someone.

I’m happy to hear I managed to channel natural curiosity to a constructive end, at least to a certain extent. May it never be needed again.

Do you know anyone that still missing?

Heard from a friend that was by abu cabir over Shabbos to identify a relative off his, that there are 2 bodies unidentified and no-one came to try to identify them, if you know of someone that is still missing maybe have someone go down there to make sure it is not one off these 2 bodies.

(point of post is to publicize this so the bodies can be identified and get l'kever yisroel ASAP)

They have no idea who they are or formal identification is incomplete because no immediate family members are in Israel?

I understood from him that they have no idea, if this is important for you I can find out more information.

See edit. The last to be identified were indeed known before Shabbos, the issue was formal identification protocols.

So so sad so so awful shabbos in Israel was just people walking around numb and trying to distract themselves but one question remains. Why the heck were police blocking this crazy crush death zone!? The people were trapped and trying to exit; there wasn’t another place to go. The exit led to outside and not some VIP section so what in the world were they doing!???    Bh the Achdus of all yidden is beautiful but this freaky question HAS to be addressed!?

i cant promise that my memory is 100% accurate, but im pretty sure its the same exact spot.

twice over the past 10 years i was on those steps on lag baomer, and both times i felt like i couldnt control where i was gonna land.

just too many people making a mass exit at once.

one time forsure i had a hard time breathing.

again im 99% sure it was those same steps, not 100.
