Chaos ensued as an overcrowded escalator started to speed up and then abruptly stop, throwing people to the ground

As fans were leaving Beyoncé‘s concert in Atlanta on Tuesday (July 15), a stampede broke out on an escalator at a local transit station that left 11 people injured - and according to reports, one little bug was what started it all.

People were leaving the concert at Mercedes-Benz Stadium when a person “began screaming and running,” causing a mass panic just after midnight, Stephany Fisher, senior director of communications for the city’s Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA), said in an email citing police.
