Scenes from a terrorist attack? No.
Scenes from an anti-war protest? No.
Scenes from a natural disaster? No.
Scenes from
a government sale of obsolete computer hardware? YES:
What started as a sale turned into a mob scene as thousands of people pushed their way through the Richmond International Raceway gates to buy a $50 iBook laptop computer from Henrico County Schools Tuesday morning.
An estimated 5500 people were on hand when the gates were opened. What followed can only be described as chaos as dozens rushed to get to the head of the line. People were trampled, shoved and pushed.
