Carefully laid plans sometimes goes awry when changed to suit a certain situation. Movies are just that....carefully constructed to lessen any incident. By adding a touch of reality to the scene, one can't predict what will happen when dealing with unsuspecting people and circumstances. It was a miracle no one was injured. Although I can how the public would have been joyous over the excitement the live scene brought.
Thanks for sharing this story. An enjoyable read. Take care.
