January 1, 2009 -- Tragedy At Music Hall!
Pandemonium struck at the Radio City Music Hall last night during one of its most famous and well-loved shows. Emergency vehicles arrived on the scene as crowds poured out from every exit in the building. At first, police were unable to discern what the situation was until they managed to round up a few of the fleeing, bloodied show-goers. Many simply kept running through the streets, bringing traffic to a screeching halt.
Many were disoriented and badly injured. Paramedics treated as many people as they could, having to call in several ambulances and finally the NYFD to help calm and treat the wounded.
It was finally reported that apparently, New York City's own and loved Rockettes turned on the crowd just minutes after the curtains rose. One eye witness stated that they jumped off the stage and began brutally kicking at the crowd -- all in a synchronized manner. "They were brutal," he said, "they were kicking and kicking at people. It was terrible!"
Once the majority of the crowd had been flushed from the building, SWAT teams shot tear gas into the foyer and then stormed the building, quickly subduing the 36-woman troupe.
"We are not certain what prompted the attack," Police Chief Martin Birch stated to reporters. "Today, many of the dancers seem to not recall the events of last night and are indeed greatly distraught at what transpired here. An investigation has begun and for now, the Music Hall has been closed to the public."
When asked about the status of the injured, Birch said, "Our numbers are incomplete at this time, but I'm thankful to say that a large percentage of the attendees were unharmed. Many people were treated on the spot and released with minor cuts and bruises. Others were taken to hospital. There are many serious injuries, including one of the dancers who is in critical condition at the last report. I cannot give you anything more definite at this point."
Police are asking that all eye witnesses please call their nearest precinct to make a statement about the events that transpired if they have not done so as of yet, as any information may be crucial in solving this mystery.
