@GBraggsJr23 Hi Greg, I'm a reporter with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. I'm working on a story about what happened today at the stadium. If you're interested in sharing details about the incident could you DM me so I can message you to talk more. Thank you.

The reason this happened was because there was no one working there that monitors the escalator and only allowing a proper amount of people on it at one time. Waaaaaay too much weight. It just gave way. It's not a mall escalator that is one floor. It's longer and steeper than that. Honestly, the stadium has to be held accountable for not holding a limit to the amount people on the escalator at one time. They are lucky no one died.

Someone broke their femur. The entire escalator shook and everyone got scared, and then seconds later, the whole thing gave way and just turned into a roller coaster off the tracks. Piling people on top of each other as it charged us all to the bottom. Some elderly people were injured very badly and trampled over. An older lady was right in front of me, so I tried to hold her up as we hit the bottom, and we both got completely taken out by the people behind us. A couple of people went right through my knee.
