A stampede occurred at an Atlanta metro station following Beyoncé’s concert, possibly triggered by a girl’s reaction to an insect. Nine people were injured on an escalator at Vine City Station as BeyHive fans were leaving the concert at Mercedes-Benz stadium. One person suffered a broken ankle, while 7 others were treated for cuts and scrapes. MARTA police reported hearing a scream, with witnesses stating it was due to an insect. Video footage showed people reacting and running, but the source of the scream was unclear. The chaos caused the escalator to speed up and then abruptly stop, prompting the transit authority to consider adding staff for crowd management in the future. (Nbcnews)
