I am left in tears upon reading this, lost for words, emotions and strength. Some inexplicable numbness has taken over me.

Highly highly appreciate you for mentioning and honouring the victims' memories man!

I am not a RCB fan,but the stampede numbed me. People went to celebrate and there was death and trauma awaiting.

The utmost and deepest respect in the effort to acknowledge those who sadly fell.

Not sure I want to “like” this post. Too powerful for “likes”.

Yeah, I get what you mean. I almost didnt post this because I thought it would be a little too much. But figured if it helps even one person process the moment, it might be worth it

Appreciate it man. Definitely helps to at least put the words on the page. This is a little bit of a journal entry I published on the substack instead!

Well done for naming the victims. The very least they deserve is to be commemorated.

Yeah, I felt it was important. Too easy for them to just be swept away.
