Not ONLY in the Philippines (America's Next Top Model Stampede)
Remember the Wowowee stampede that was a big disaster back home? Well that sort of thing, doesn't only happen in the Philippines.
Imagine a hyperventilating swarm of girls, in very high heels, motion-restricting high-heels and head-ache inducing hairdo's and weaves in all the different colors, running around at their wits end screaming at the top of their lungs.
Well this is it. hahaha. I wish we could get a video on the ground itself. here's what an eyewitness had to say, or maybe she was auditioning herself

I was there and there was a car that overheated, the driver ran out of the car. Girls then started screaming and yelling FIRE!! so that caused all of the girls to go running. and when thousands of people try to run from what they think is a fire is not a pretty pic. the police did not even know that happened i told the cop hat happened and he was yelling along with me and many others to calm down and that there was no need to panic, but it was useless.
============================
here's the news feed
The casting call for the television show descended into chaos, with six women injured and three people arrested.Thousands of aspiring models queued in short skirts and high heels outside the Park Central Hotel in Manhattan over the weekend, some waiting all night for a chance to compete in the latest round of the popular TV series.
However, fighting broke out and women were knocked over in a panicked stampede after a car belching smoke reportedly pulled up near the queue on Saturday afternoon, prompting cries of "Fire!" and "There's a bomb".As women stumbled over police barricades, witnesses told a local radio station that the mayhem was compounded after a man jumped out of a car and started grabbing purses.After the stampede, shoes and clothing littered the street outside the hotel."The girls were running like it was 9/11 part two.
I feared for my life," said Jennifer Brown, an aspiring model from Brooklyn."It was pretty scary," said Jessica Paravati, a prospective contestant who had camped out overnight in the queue.New York police said two women and a man were arrested on charges of inciting a riot and disorderly conduct.At least six women needed medical attention after being crushed or fainting due to lack of food.
Some would-be contestants blamed poor organisation of the event.Women were unable to go off to leave to get food or use the lavatory without losing their place in the queue.Most of the women were still queuing when police told them that the auditions were over and that the organisers had already packed up and gone home.
Now this is really really f*cking hilarious !!!! hahaha
