Damn, this is pretty crazy.
This incident happened at Wonder Festival 2008, a festival for amateur sculptors. That’s right, they have a convention in Tokyo so sculptors could showcase their figures. How awesome is that?
The escalator was overloaded, and went the reverse direction. It dunked the people on the bottom of the escalator to the ground and caused a human pyramid. About 10 people were injured but I’m happy to say that no one was seriously hurt.
Nerds are starting to cause havoc!

That’s AWESOME!! I have always been into the winter fest! This is good, nerds finally know what it is like to rub up against another human being for once!

That was pretty neat, kind of anit-climatic! Vic is right, they probably were more scared about rubbing up against people then the escalator pulling the switch and bait on them.
