New Yahoo "Crowds" Group / Searching fro Videos of Crowds

Last week I formed a Yahoo group ... "Crowds: Crowds of People / Ochlophilia." I am hoping to talk with people who love watching or being in crowds that are surging, pushing, swaying, etc. Please visit and post whatever comments you wish. Crowd surges are very exciting to me. I am looking for videos of large crowds that are packed closely together that are out or control and surging, swaying, pushing, etc. I enjoy watching when this happen very much and know there are others (like at this web site) that do as well. (I can only imagine the rubbing that is going on in these situations.) It is just a matter of finding these videos. You may contact me either in this forum or privately via email if you would like.

While I believe you know what I am looking for I will give you a few examples.

1) The Menudo concerts of the early and mid 1980s where the girls would be jammed packed in front of the stage, start surging toward the front barracades as they get more and more excited. (There is probably many videos at general admission/festival seating concerts would fit this description, and not just for Menudo.) Sometimes you would see girls passing out and after a bit finally get pulled out of the crowd.

2)When the Ayatollah came back to power in Iran in 1979 you would see huge crowds that would surge around him trying to push forward to touch him.

3)Videos of the 1986 ticker tape parade and City Hall celebration that followed in New York going up Broadway when the New York Met won the World Series. (Crowd control was a particular problem at that parade since it had been about 17 years since New York had ths type of a parade. I was in that crowd and got pushed everywhere, it was great.)

4) Lots of old Hitler videos that would show a maybe a million or more people that were surging forward and swaying out of control.

The above examples give you an idea of what I am looking for. If you have a video like this and can make me a copy, if you know somebody who does or an idea where I can go or who I can contact please let me know (as I said above) in this forum or send me a private email. I would appreciate it.
