Crowd Stampedes at $50 iBook Sale
As gates opened early this morning on the Richmond, Virginia, $50 iBook sale, the crowd of thousands of shoppers stampeded, causing several injuries. While none of the injuries appeared to have been serious, the crowd was described as “surly” and required some police intervention. The sale, put on by the local school system, was intended to liquidate around 1,000 Apple laptops from the high school in order to make room for new systems from Dell. The 4-year-old iBooks came with no warranty, but most were expected to function decently, despite reports of some student abuse.
EDIT: Just found out that one woman actually wet herself rather than giving up her spot in line. That’s just not right.
(Thanks Veronica!)
