While this occasion was supposed to be a celebration of the franchise’s first-ever championship, it has quickly turned into a nightmare. From the videos, you can see numerous people running while everyone is in panic.
Typically, championship parades draw thousands upon thousands of people to one central area. Although there are dozens of police, safety and security operations, you never know what can happen.
