A worker died after being trampled and a woman miscarried when hundreds of shoppers smashed through the doors of a Long Island Wal-Mart Friday morning, witnesses said.
The unidentified worker, employed as an overnight stock clerk, tried to hold back the unruly crowds just after the Valley Stream store opened at 5 a.m.
Witnesses said the surging throngs of shoppers knocked the man down. He fell and was stepped on. As he gasped for air, shoppers ran over and around him.
"He was bum-rushed by 200 people," said Jimmy Overby, 43, a co-worker. "They took the doors off the hinges. He was trampled and killed in front of me. They took me down too...I literally had to fight people off my back."
Worker dies at Long Island Wal-Mart after being trampled in Black Friday stampede
That is so sad. The idiots didn't even know he was down let alone dead. They just kept running to the sales. This happened because everyone knew once they got in the store, there were going to be only a few items on the shelves.
There will be some kind of regulation regarding sale items in ads and how much stock you need to have because of this terrible incident.
