Another image of chaos, like those we're used to seeing at free giveaways and distributions, has emerged. A little girl trying to offer cookies to citizens in front of the Eyüp Sultan Mosque in Istanbul found herself bewildered as she was surrounded by a crowd in seconds. The little girl narrowly escaped being crushed in the middle of the crowd.
A new chaotic scene was added in Eyüpsultan to the recent chaos seen during charity and promotional distributions in squares, mosques, or streets.
RISKED BEING CRUSHED IN SECONDS
A little girl with good intentions wanted to offer cookies from a tray to visitors of the Eyüp Sultan Mosque. However, as soon as the little girl said 'please, help yourselves,' the surroundings turned into a frenzy. Upon seeing the tray, people nearby rushed at the cookies instead of politely taking them. Suddenly overwhelmed by the crowd jumping on the tray, the young girl narrowly escaped being crushed. Grabbing as many cookies as they could, people quickly dispersed, leaving the large tray empty in seconds.
BECAME A TRENDING TOPIC
Those strange moments captured on a mobile phone camera garnered massive interaction as soon as they were shared on social media. Users described the aggressive attitude and stampede scenes in such good-willed events as 'disrespect,' commenting that turning the area into a battlefield regardless of the distributed item goes against social norms of courtesy.
