- What happened that day in Central Park was one of the most terrifying moments in my life but I think this story is important to share. I really thought I was going to die and felt so vulnerable but I'm so grateful to the woman who helped my mom and I get out safely. Spread love and kindness, everyone!

Hi
Ok, to anyone who says that Molly is being dramatic:
Close your eyes so that you can’t see anything at all.
You hear someone say “Run!”. And then you can suddenly feel the force of ten thousand people running in your direction. After getting pushed around and separated from your own mother and your guide dog, you huddle next to strangers, and you still don’t know what the hell is happening. Then you hear gunshots. You get up and run in the direction your friend tells you to, through all the screaming people. And after all of that, you have to walk all the way home. And all this time, you can’t see a thing, with still no idea what happened.
I F*CKING DARE ANYONE to tell her that she is being over-dramatic!!!!!
Mister WiZeguy I was at the festival and can attest that she is not being dramatic.
Mister WiZeguy Or to the people who say she fakes being blind. Yeah, Anyone in that situation who was faking it would drop that ruse and be hauling ass out of there like everyone else!
Mister WiZeguy this would be scary and traumatic for life if you could see
Mister WiZeguy what was the event?
As she was telling it i was imagining how she felt! I must have bin so scary, i totally agree with you!
Don’t say she’s being dramatic and think: you can’t see you hear someone say “run!” People are running, you lose your mom and guide dog, you hear a gunshot you clutter near some strangers, and remember this whole time your completely blind and nobody knows your blind.
Milla Doubrovkine-Paskar THANK YOU, I have no idea what it was like for her, and even as a sighted person, I think that would still be terrifying
Mary Bridges your welcome and, you should try to get some sleep considering you wrote this at 12 A.m, but you might not be in NYC so you might have a different time zone
Milla Doubrovkine-Paskar No, I’m in the Midwest, but it was still 11 pm when I wrote that, New York is just an hour ahead of where I live. I’m writing this at about 10 am, but for you it would be around 11 am. So anyway, I’m glad that someone was being sensible about her not being dramatic at all, because I’m pretty sure that most of the people who ran were sighted, and they were still scared tremendously. Hope you have a good day.
I completely agree. When we hear about these things on the news we grow used to the idea that this happens we can often assume the worst. If everyone just starts running and screaming and someone shouts 'run' to you, then you are obviously going to freak out and panic. If 10,000 people start all running and stampeding towards you then it is really not that hard to lose all everyone you are with. People can be so insensitive sometimes...
Eleanor Brockett Thank you
Hearing gallop getting trampled on literally made my heart hurt. And i started to cry. Im so sorry molly
Yee same 😭
At least Gallop is safe, it could have been worse but luckily it was not. But it made me cry too I don’t blame you
Yeah, my heart broke hearing that
Me too
And her MOM being trampled?
Now I worked security for over 10 years now, WHY would they be telling people to run. By telling people to run you are now preventing people from evacuating. You can tell them to keep moving, to move faster, but never utter the R word. As security they should have been providing instructions not inciting panic. More people get killed or injured because of panic then the actual situation.
RoMayDrako
I’m so glad you wrote this. It seemed insane to me too. First that they were telling people RUN. And that they weren’t paying attention to the people in the crowd at all. I remember years back at a stadium concert a set of the bleachers had collapsed. And the security guys were telling people to get off the bleachers move away from them and stop running but just move away from the area. A guy had gotten hurt from the original accident but then got knocked down from people shoving and pushing to run away. Thank God security had stopped them because then they could see the guy on the ground. I remember hearing all about it on the local news. And even the news informed people don’t RUN just move thru safely so EMT’s can actually get in to help the injured or hurt people.
Security told us to run at school when we had a shooting at lunch. It caused so much chaos
Sadly, a lot of security at festivals are subcontracted out and the companies tend to run short and use temp workers that have no training, literally just bodies of people off the street that have no training. I ended up quitting a company due to this type of issue.
I was posted at the side of a stage during a pride festival and a group had just left the stage. There was supposed to be another guard with me but they literally said "my shifts up I'm done" and left me there in this huge 7ft gap entrance to the back stage that we're supposed to be guarding. I ended up having to use my body to hold people back and one lady shoved passed me and got through, I couldnt go grab her because I had to stay at my post to make sure nobody else got through. The stage security came to me with the woman and yelled at me basically for letting her slip through. I told him off and yelled at him to help and he left me there alone because he was backstage security, aka he wanted to go be beside the talent tent. My relief for my post came about 10 mins in and helped me get people off of the gate and me.
I dont work or go to festivals anymore for this reason. Its overwhelming
right?! like, it sounds like it was a stampede situation. people DIE in human stampedes. how do you stop a stampede? probably not by yelling "run!"
This needs to be reposted like a fkn bunch
When you said you lost gallop, i lost my mind🤧
I bet its comparable if we lost our sight, horrifying
ed sdfg yea😪
AulonaCREATIVE • sAmE
I ligit almost cried if I lost my dog I would have died
Omg when galop was lost I got in a literal panic attack like poor galop I love that dog so much
For anyone who thinks it is over dramatic: imagine going through all of this, but being completely blind. Seeing nothing, only hearing loud noises, screams, and feeling people pushing all around you. That would be the scariest thing ever.
And gunshots. Also they heard gunshots.
Anna Tairova they thought the where gunshots, but still I can’t imagine that thinking someone if firing into a crowed of people that must have been horrifying. Specially since Molly’s blind I can imagine that she had to be even more scared then anyone else’s there.
Or imagine being deaf or having any sort of disablility not knowing what was happening and getting restricted by this
I want to know what Gallop thought and was feeling during that whole thing.
Lealdo I mean we will never know but that would be cool
@Gacha Studios lol😂
Honestly, and I feel so bad for him since he's lower than the humans so I'm sure he got kicked so many times :,(
I guess he was caring more for her life then his
He was probably like hmmmmm what’s that smell this hooman food seems good
I love how she manages to explain it like she can see everything
MrDrewp2009 are you saying she’s faking her disability?
@@caitlynholmes8175 i think it was meant that she is a great story teller and is very entertaining to listen to.
I think she's pretty good at combining what her senses tell her with the information she gathers from those around her when she gets them to fill in her knowledge gaps.
@@caitlynholmes8175 nooooo... the comment was basically saying that it is incredible how Molly is able to explain stories better than someone who can witness everything with our sight. She makes it sound like she can see what is going on even though we all know she can't. ❤
It was probably her mom telling her like what the seeing part of it was if that makes any sense not trying to be rude to molly becouse I might sound like that ldk
That honestly sounds absolutely terrifying for a sighted person, I can't even comprehend how terrifying it must've been when you can't see anything. I'm so glad you got out safely.
I Live in New York and never heard anything about this.The Media is no longer telling us truths. For them to have remained silent about this makes me automatically know it was likely a Pro President Trump thing. Though He doesn't have things in New York City because there is too much violence and hate directed at him. He wouldn't endanger people. I'm stumped as to when & what the festival was for.
@@americanwoman8947 apparently, it was the Global Citizen Festival which is part of a movement to end extreme poverty (according to Wikipedia). Among others, the New York Times reported about the incident at the 2018 festival that Molly is talking about. If you google "Central Park festival incident", you'll find lots of articles.
@@americanwoman8947 What do you mean by "thing"?
I took my sons to California's Great America for Halloween this year. We had just gotten to the point where the line enters a queue (defined by waist high temporary barriers of the type sometimes called "bike rack barriers"), when a stampede started inside the park. Apparently, there was a fight and someone nearby yelled "Shooter!", which was a terrible idea, so soon after the Gilroy Garlic festival shooting. Suddenly, the ticket plaza flooded with people running, shouting, and jumping turnstiles. Then, the crowd who were in the queue started trying to jump the barriers, tipping them over and rushing toward us. I grabbed both of my boys by their coat collars, corralling them, helping them jump the cement barriers (meant to prevent cars from driving into the ticket plaza) and hustling them forward, ahead of the panicked stampede. Until we had covered 50 yards, or so, I wondered whether we would be overtaken and trampled and I especially feared for my boys. I also wondered whether, or when, we were going to begin hearing gunshots.
As traumatic as that was, I made a point of taking them back to the park for the Christmas lights a few weeks later. It was much less crowded and I felt it was important for our boys, to go back and have a positive experience there. Somehow, we have to figure out a way to keep panic from becoming more dangerous than an actual attack.
stephmon My best friend works at California’s GA, she was working that night, apparently there had been someone walking around with a toy gun but the gun was missing the orange tip, Security was telling the staff that there was a potential shooter
“My husband-“
Me: WAIT WHAT?!?
“Shawn mendes”
Me: *oh*
?
Me too
A Sith Apprentice no she was joking
Same
😂 I did the same
This reminds me of something that happened in Times Square not too long ago. There was a motorcycle that backfired, sounding like gunshots and the same thing happened: everyone started running away, panicking, stampeding.
I heard about this from a Twitter post and the woman who posted it was Canadian I believe and she said, about the United States “your entire country has PTSD.” And the thing is she’s not wrong (even though she was being hyperbolic but in any case mental health needs to be taken more seriously).
I agree, because I remember a few years back, I was going to work and waiting at a bus stop downtown (and this is in Canada) and a popping sound happened across the street and I didn't react much, most people didn't, but a few reacted horribly. And one of the guys that had the bad reaction, said he could tell neither I, nor the others that didn't react have ever been in a violent situation involving guns because if we had we probably would have dropped to the ground or freaked out. And I didn't exactly understand the depth of that statement until I started hearing stories like Molly's and the event you described. So I agree with you.
Yeah I think colleen ballinger was talking about something like that in one of her vlogs
As an Australian, when I hear about these stampedes caused by people thinking there was a shooting, my heart breaks. It’s devastating that when something happens, everyone in your country immediately assumes it’s a shooting. The amount of secondary trauma is heart breaking
I spent lots of time in downtown LA to the the point I got used to hearing gun shots. Once I moved to Washington I broke that habit. But the minute I heard a loud popping sound I thought gun shots. All the other students freaked out with me and we started panicking getting under our desks and asking what on earth was going on
This is very true, I am from Scotland and when we hear cars backfire or any noises similar to a gunshot our first thought is not it’s a gunshot as that would be extremely unlikely that there was a shooting
Someone needs to sue this place... They literally put everyone in danger and acted as if nothing happened. Smh.
*_YESSSSS_*
Molly I was there too. It was one of the scariest things I have ever experienced. My boyfriend and I went to the Porta potty’s, and were waiting in line. I was about to be next to go to the bathroom but then I turn around and see THOUSANDS of people running towards me, my mind was racing all i could think about was the manchester bombing, las vegas shooting, etc. We ran as fast as we could, as did hundreds of people around us. Security guards were even opening the gates for us to climb through, we were running through branches and everything. Kids were crying on their phones calling their parents. It felt like everything was in slow motion. We made it out of Central park onto the streets and it was crazy. I was shaking. Everything you said and described is 100% how I felt about it too, you’re not alone. The media really down played it too. And i’m so glad you have a platform to talk about this. 💕
I couldn't imagine :( thats terrible
Oh my gosh thats crazy im so sorry this happened to you! What was the festival called? ❤️❤️
Lauren Forte Thank you 💜💜 It was the Global Citizens Festive
Sophie C thanks!
I hope you and your boyfriend are doing okay
"My husband, Shawn Mendes was playing..."
I laughed so hard lol caught me completely by surprise
K Syntax my first thought was I don’t know she was married then the said Shawn Mendes and I was like OHHHH
I didn’t know either and SHAWN MENDES?!? That’s ... 😮!!!
I've looked all over the Internet and it says molly has no boyfriend or husband which is confusing
St first before she said shawn I'm like wait what?!?!?
K Syntax I thought she was fr I even looked up if he had a wife 🤣
This made me so upset and was a real trigger to me, I was in a stampede when I was thirteen. I was pushed to the ground and trampled on, it was so terrifying and I seriously thought I was going to die. There was estimated that there was only 2,500-3,000 people there but due to this accident I am now classed as disabled due to the spin injury and damage to the whole right side of my body, if it wasn't for a cleaner who was there pulling me up from the ground I could have been so much worse. I am still in pain ever day after 6 years of physio, but that is now my life I have come to terms with that and with adjusting my lifestyle to make things easier. It's so traumatizing how everything changes so quickly, having to give up so many things as I physically can't do it without being in pain. I am so thankful to that man who helped me, I never even got his name and I wouldn't wish that experience on anyone.I feel so sorry that your mother, yourself and others had to go through that. I hope that you all are ok. X
Rebecca Monk this made me want to cry.. to think of a 13yr old child being disregarded and trampled on, infuriates and breaks my heart. God bless the man that helped you. I’m so sorry this happened to you, and I’m gonna pray right now for your injuries.
Where were you do you know what caused the stampede? Im sorry humanity is so selfish and horrible. They should all have been protecting the children instead of severely injuring them and saving themselves.
@@megjane7 it was surprising at my high school. It happened at the end of the school day and there was an issue with the gates so ppl couldn't get out which made it worse. I've learnt to adjust to my life and I'm happy with my restrictions and who I am. It's also helped me make some friends that I would never have met along the way x
oh my goodness that is horrible i wouldnt wish that on anyone youre so brave xxx
I'm so sorry ❤ It's good to hear that you're feeling better with yourself though, hope you're doing okay ❤❤❤
I was actually there with my brother and a couple of friends that night. It was absolutely traumatizing. We looked to our left after a long pause to hear people yelling "RUN, THEY'RE SHOOTING!!!". In the chaos we got separated from one of our friends and lost a lot of our belongings because we didn't have time to think or grab anything. I had also gotten bumped into and had fallen into a puddle of mud where I could not get up. My brother was trying to help me up as people were falling and stepping all over me. Finally I got up and covered my brother's body just like a "mama bear" to protect him from the "bullets" we thought we heard. We then approached an officer in riot gear and asked him what to do and he said just keep running. We climbed through a fence and scaled the side of a building to get out of the park safely. The people we were walking with were incredible- all asking if everyone was okay and staying positive and calm in order not to cause MORE panic than there already way. After RUNNING BLOCKS away and getting to safety we immediately called our parents so they could find out what was going on. We then found out it was not a shooting, but in that moment IT WAS a shooting. I have PTSD from this event and I never understood how much it would affect me until I fear going to public events because of what may happen. It also broke my heart that this did not get much (if any) media attention. It was real to the people who were there. THANK YOU for using your platform to share this experience.
I'm so sorry! Are you okay?
@@Icantchangemyhandlehelp thank you, you protected your brother, he is thankful for that, and im thankful foe you
I am so sorry that this happened to you. It sounds absolutely horrifying. I had never even heard about it, before today.
It sounds like you and your brother are so lucky to have eachother. Neither of you hesitated to help/protect eachother, even when you were both so scared... That is amazing.
@@Icantchangemyhandlehelp thankfully were okay!
@@tea2226 thank you for your kind words. It was very wild and crazy but you’re right we did have each other’s backs and I’m so lucky we had each other that night because it was very scary!
"i could have been so close to shawn.... *sighs* ITS FINE; ITS FINE"
Emily Vasquenz I looked at your comment right when she said it 😂
Alyssa's World same
Alyssa's World lol
it's ok
That is so scary soon I as I saw it comment she said the exact thing ahhhhh
If you think she’s exaggerating please think again because imagine being blind and 10,000 people are running towards you and you only hear people screaming and shots being fired and you don’t know what to do because you can’t see, if I was in her place I would’ve been traumatized molly is the toughest person I’ve ever seen
Once my mom left me at Walmart.
Jacie Tyler hope u find her again;)
Woah
So true💕
I was there as well and it was terrifying, I didn't hear anything fall because I was in the back, but suddenly everyone was running, I got separated from the people I was with, I watched a couple people almost get trampled.
I love the part of the “angels” you spoke of. It touched my heart and brought tears to know how compassionate and honorable people can be at the most horrific and challenging times. Its a little heaven on earth. Thank you for your story. You are such an amazing storyteller! I wish I was so eloquent as you are.
Was an incident in my home town a few years back. Fire broke out during a christmas party, all but one exit were snowed over. Fire killed five people, stampede killed fifty.
Omg I'm so sorry! Are you okay?
@@Icantchangemyhandlehelp my mom was ten. I am quite fine. :P
@@jonasgrant that's good.
This made me cry. Panic kills so many :(
I'm so sorry. May they rest in piece❤🙏🏻
The most terrifying part is that shootings and bombings are such a common occurrence in America now that any loud noise just sends people into a mass panic.
TonOfHats i honestly find that so sad and i don’t even live in america
^^ this. The best thing we can do is whenever we go to places that we know there will be a bunch of people (concerts, bars, etc) find the exits the minute you get there. Chances are you'll never need to know where they are, but there can always be the possibility that you will need to know in a split second. It is horrible that America has come to this.
I know it's so scary. I have a friend from America and when she first moved here she was asking the best way to flea the shopping centre we were in so she could be prepared if nit happened. I was gob smacked because here in Australia we don't even think about it, it doesn't even cross your mind when your put shopping because it so rarely happens. I can't imagine having to feel like I have to check my exists every time i go out.
when i hear a loud bang i tense for a second and then assume its a car exhaust, the stark difference is kinda shocking :c
Haha I live in texas so if there was a shooting I wouldn't even know I'd just think it was target practise
cause I hear gunshots all the time
I don’t get how people say “You’re being dramatic” or “Calm down”. When they where not in that situation
Sonora Faletti Thank you Queen I hate how people just run their mouth when they don’t know ❤️❤️❤️
Same with people having a panic atack. When I get an anxiety atack i am literally shaking and people can't understabd my mental illness and that's exausting😓
Especially since she's blind and has to rely on other people as it is. Imagine being in total darkness, friends and mom are nowhere to be found, while people are stampeding around you.
Stampede?
It scary to think of how many events like this have likely been downplayed in the media. Something to think about
Which is ridiculous, because we know for a fact that stampedes and crushes can be deadly. I doubt that if this happened in the UK, that it would have been downplayed- they know all too well just how deadly a stampede/crush can be, and still have memorials for those that died in the Hillsborough disaster in 1989, where almost 100 people died and a further almost 800 were injured.
And so when you remember stories like that, it really drives home how awful and wrong it is to downplay stampedes.
I'd rather be in a stampede if moose than people
And that saying a lot, because a single moose running at you can kill you, with only its bodyweight
That's why I have a phobia of crowded places and events ...
Same
I can't do large crowds or places with lots of loud noise cuz I have autism.
@@_veronica_r That must be so tough to handle. I don't have autism, but I'm extremely sensitive to loud noises. If it could help you, I always carry noise-canceling headphones on me and it really helps a lot.
@@17marilove
Yeah, it can be tough sometimes. If only I could get some that don't look weird lol
I got chills when you said, “Molly run!”
I have PTSD from getting held against my will in a different state and sexually assaulted. No one knew where I was and neither did I. They tried to get me to take pills, they gave me a “present”, told me I was gonna be their pet and filmed the assault. They were really fucking sick. I escaped several hours later after they fell asleep and went to a house where the police were called and the 3 of the attackers were arrested and convicted for what they did and 2 of them got 17 years. One of them was a friend from High School, whom I’ve known for years, and he set it up and took me there and basically ruined my life. He was only charged for the restraint, because it was part of a plea deal. So he only got 7 years.
It’ll be 3 years in September since it happened and I have trust issues, flashbacks, anxiety, am extremely more aware of my surroundings, always tell my mom where I’m going and allow her to track my phone. I even set up the sos emergency option on my iPhone, which I wish I had done before because they locked me out of my own phone so I couldn’t call for help. When I got it back in the police car I could see all the texts my family sent me and phone calls I missed, but couldn’t call them back... Even family from my home state called me. They knew what happened because I was able to get into my laptop and messaged my sister, and two friends who were up and told them to call the cops and told them the license plate number of their car I could barely see out a small window in the bathroom. I sent it to them before I escaped, just in case I didn’t make it...They threatened to torture me before, so I didn’t know what would happen if they caught me. It didn’t feel real and I was so fucking terrified. I still get scared of them finding me when they get out. I already moved once but I want to move again.
We all were traumatized and my sister and mom would be so scared every time I leave the house. We still struggle with that, but we are almost back to normal again. Recently I went to a store across the street from the DMV I was going to, and browsed around to see what they had for their liquidation sale of the store. It’s in our small town and I went in, but lost service in there and never called. I was in there a good 20/30 minutes. As I walked out my sister pulls up fast slamming her brakes when she pulled up next to me and cussed me out crying. It’s moments like that I remember that, it wasn’t just me who was traumatized. I felt bad about it.
I finally started trying to work as of last week and I’m starting to live a real normal life again! So it took time to heal, but I do have some what of a happy ending. I’m at least taking the steps to not letting what happened to me ruin my life anymore. Thank you for taking the time to read this. ♥️
Ozzisiya It’s does. I appreciate it. I’ve been doing better and though sometimes saying “sorry” to people seems like something you need to say, but the fact you acknowledged it may not be enough to count, makes it count in my book. That’s more acknowledgment showing you probably are sincere about it. So thank you. ♥️
Oh my god I'm so sorry that happened to you!😲 Sending support💖💖💖
Rascal, good job having the presence of mind to send their license plate. I hope that someday a edit will show up telling us about how you are prospering. Angels like the ones that helped out Molly are everywhere , i hope they visit you real soon.
wow, a trigger warning would've been nice
Imagine having this happen to you...now imagine being blind, 10x scarier
Her losing gallop is like us losing our sight itself
@ed sdfg so true loosing gallop she really does become blind besides light
More like a million times scarier
One time when I was in high school someone called in a shooter at our school. Police arrived before our school was notified so all the sudden the swat team was running through the hall ways. There was not a shooter at all but everyone thought there was and it was absolutely terrifying. I could hear screams outside the locker room I was in. Everyone was freaking out and running out of the building. The fear was real, even if a shooter did not exist. So I understand how scary situations can be regardless of the actual danger, could not imagine being sightless!
When I was seventeen, I went grocery shopping with a friend in a small town in southern Ohio. The weather was a little rainy, not alarmingly, but enough that we decided to sit on some big bags of mulch outside the store to wait it out before packing up the van and heading back home. I was babbling about something, not paying attention to my surroundings at all, and my friend got this strange look on his face and started staring, wide-eyed, out across the parking lot. A few seconds later, he grabbed me by my shirt and dragged me back into the store. On the way in, I saw a handful of employees gathered around the front entrance, also staring out at the parking lot. When I first turned around on the way in, I didn't see anything, but my eyes finally reconciled what they were seeing, I guess, and I realized an enormous tornado - pretty much the exact same size as the plaza the store was in - had touched down in the parking lot and was barreling right toward us. We ran inside and bolted to the back of the store and I was clinging to my friend as people were screaming and crying and, after a handful of seconds, the whole building started to shake. I'd never felt or heard anything like it and I haven't since. I couldn't see what was happening out in the main area, as we were huddled together in a stock room in the very back, but when it finally ended, which felt like a lifetime later (but, in retrospect, was probably only 30-60 seconds), we walked out of the stock room, into the main part of the store, and half of the roof was missing. The entire center of the plaza the store was in had been gutted by the tornado, more than half of the cars in the lot were completely destroyed, and a man had died in one of the aisles of a heart attack. To make an already terrifying situation worse, we weren't allowed to leave - my friend's car had been parked at the edge of the lot and wasn't badly damaged - and the sky got darker, the rain got harder, and there were hundreds of people just wandering around dazed all over what was left of the plaza. You always see/hear stories of how things get calm and serene after a tornado, but that's not what happened. The weather intensified and there were cops and paramedics all over the place. So we just sat in the back of my friend's van in the parking lot for literal hours, waiting for someone to tell us we could go, worried in the backs of our minds that it would happen again.
That was such a long story. O.o I'm sorry! It's just the scariest thing that's ever happened to me. It's been twenty years and tornadoes are still the most prevalent villain in my nightmares.
As for the stampede (which I googled after seeing this video and, holy crap): What a truly horrifying situation. Panic can do such awful things en masse and I can only imagine how it must have felt to be there living it. I'm so, so glad Molly and her mom and the pupper and the team made it out of there!
Oh my God that sounds terrifying I'm so sorry
What ended up happening in the end?
Why weren't you allowed to leave?
Also, that sounds terrifying 😬😮
@@avamyers1758 As bad as the weather got afterward, there were no more tornadoes, so we were eventually allowed to get back in our cars (those of us who could) and go home. I moved to Arkansas about a week later, though - I was done with Ohio after that. Lol
@@Joyful_Jo_ I have no idea! My guess is that it was so crowded and there were so many damaged cars, the police, paramedics and fire dept. wanted to be sure it was safe for those of us who could drive and thoroughly check everyone out for injuries. That was seriously one of the scariest things about it - just being stuck there in the debris.
Oh my God I'm so sorry, that sounds horrifying, and also most mysterious weather I have ever heard of! I ran with my family in the midst of the CRAZIEST storm in my life, and it was still not as chaotic as what you had experienced! :0
Edit: Fixed some grammar issues, rephrased some sentences, and corrected typos
Putting seriousness aside for sec, when Molly said she was getting a bodyguard/security am I the only one who pictured a big burly guy throwing tiny Molly over his shoulder, grabbing Gallop's leash and running, which is a funny picture is there isn't a situation occurring. If Molly is comfortable with it, a "training with my bodyguard" video would be very interesting.
Kelby Ogryzlo i want The Rock to be the bodyguard so bad. Imagine how funny that would be
And his commands should also be in French. 😹
Kelby Ogryzlo YES
That would be hilarious. I can imagine Molly having duplicate commands for Gallop and her bodyguard, and she says something, and they both react, and she’s pulled in two directions.
Omggg yesss
I wasn’t going to watch this originally because of the clickbait-ish title. So glad I did. (It’s not click bait I just thought it was)
An unhealthy healthy Girl vlog Molly is pretty much true to form and doesn’t use clickbait. You can read the description box too, that always tells the real story. ✌🏼💞
An unhealthy healthy Girl vlog you should know molly never does anything clickbaity
I am an artist but can’t draw there’s been a few videos where the title of the video is what the video is about but sort of exaggerated. That’s why i said clickbait ish cause I know she doesn’t do clickbait but slightly exaggerated sometimes. Nothing wrong with that tho! ☺️
I was in a false alarm shooting at my university. Same thing happened with absolute chaos and running around and. I fell down stairs, was trampled, lost all my items, had to borrow a phone in the closet I was hiding in to call my parents and tell them I loved them. Even though it ended up being a false alarm, it was a life-changing experience that we took seriously at the time.
Thanks babe I was about to click off at 5 mins xx
Weirdly enough when she said the girl was short and keeping her safe, I imagined it was Ro protecting her and it made me feel less scared. Stampedes are no jokes and I'm so glad she's okay
You don't have to be big and strong ti help someone, we all know that : )
❤❤
Ro is an angel
Honestly it could have been Ro
I just about cried listening to this story, I can't even express how terrifying this sounds
I can’t even imagine going through a situation like this WHILE BLIND. I 100% understand why you were so scared and I’m glad you are okay!
I want to know who the ‘woman’ is. Bc she sounds like someone who should be recognised, for risking her life to help others.
Edit: thanks for agreeing and thanks for the thumbs up 👍
Ani Sheehy perhaps she didn't know
Ani Sheehy Some people don't want to be recognized.
Alissa Springfield i can kinda relate. there was a concert at my towns fair and i loved the artist so my cousins, aunt, mom and i went together (this was my first concert) and there was a man in front of us who was so drunk (we were i the pit, close to stage) he was an aggressive drunk and he was being rude, jumping up and down, yelling at the artist, almost jumped back onto me so i was scared and started crying. my mom went to get security and the guy ran, so after that the lady in front of him let me and my cousin go in front of them, everyone was super nice to me and felt bad and there was a couple that was getting mad at him. it was an interesting night, to say the least
Ani Sheehy so true
Maybe she didn’t know bc in that moment you ain’t trying to ask for a name you trying to be safe
20:25 this is the moment I started tearing up. Molly you are an incredible person and bless those two lovely Women who helped you.
I’m blind and autistic and Tourette’s so I feel for this soo much also my guid dog is a white lab and her name is Dixie
Aww thats nice hope you're doing well
And If you don't mind me asking, where are you on the spectrum (for autism)?
Star I’m quite high in the spectrum
@@irisbush8190 okay thanks
Star the spectrum isn’t high---->low functioning, it’s more of a sundae bar. Different toppings are different traits. Most of us are not really a fan of saying high or low functioning because “high functioning” peoples difficulties are ignored (and they have a harder time getting supports) and “low functioning” peoples assets get ignored (and they are presumed incompetent). Just so you know
Alex Wohlgemuth sorry I’m closer to Asperger is what I meant by that and I’m high fictional
I would actually like to hear this story from her moms point of view and how she felt during the whole ordeal. You're so brave molly!
I bet it's really scarry
Yez
When you were talking about Gallop getting hit by people and then eventually get separated broke by heart... and your poor mom was probably so worry about you!!
i almost cried
Molly, this video made me tear up, I'm so glad you're ok and your mum and everyone, and I worried for poor small Gallop during this video... so sorry you had to deal with this, it sounds SO traumatic and I'm glad you are able to speak about it now which means you're healing from it.
I've had PTSD since childhood and it really is hard, so I understand how it feels. It's also totally true about "you don't know how you're going to react until it's happening", I have a terrible freeze response in scary situations. Every single terrible event has made me react this way involuntarily I cannot move unless grabbed and moved, so if that happened I would be screwed. For everyone saying you're overreacting would be terrified themselves, and also people can get very very injured or killed during stampedes of lots of people. One example, Hillsborough Football Stadium Disaster 15 April 1989, over 90 people dead and 700 injured and that was because of police failure crowd control.
I'm so glad you're all good.
This is why their are fire restrictions like 700 per room to prevent this
It was actually caused by a fight that happened. Two people were fighting and when people tried to get away from them, they stepped on empty water bottles thrown on the ground which someone said was a gunshot and it ended up causing the mass panic. That is when people started fleeing and causing fences/barriers to fall and sound even more like gunshots. The police tried to calm everyone down and let them know what was going on but once something like that starts, it is VERY hard to stop.
I swear everyone in America has PTSD. It's sad
Anyone who says you’re being dramatic has no empathy what so ever. This sounded absolutely terrifying. I’m so happy you made it out okay.
Exactly, she is blind which makes it more scary

I had a very tiny experience of a stampeding crowd when I was a teen. We were at a local mall for a signing event with a major boy band at the time. There were hundreds of teen girls in the line waiting for the event to start. They opened the doors and the crowd started pushing forward so quickly. It was terrifying. I can’t imagine being in a situation like that and not being able to see, and not knowing what was going on. I’ve had a fear of large crowds ever since. It was years ago so I’m much better now, but I always stay on the outside edge of the crowd and have several exits scoped out. The terror you feel in that moment of how utterly helpless you are is for real man and my experience was nothing compared to this. Unless you’ve experienced it first hand, you have no idea.
I’m so sorry you had to go through this, I can’t even imagine. My son decided to hide under a clothing rack at a store one time literally two feet away from me and I about shut that building down. Actually losing someone in a crowd like that definitely should never be downplayed..
“My husband Shawn Mendes was playing” got me rolling 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪❤️ love you molly
Same🤣
Wait why is she serious
No she meant, my husband and Shawn mended
Roblox Lover Rblx what time?
@@UsER29766 OMG THANKs
What is going through the people's mind that disliked this video? This woman is blind and was in a horrible and traumatizing experience. I mean, just imagine if you were Molly. A blind woman who cant see whats happening that thought there was a shooting or a bombing. They need to think about her situation and what they would do if they were her before they make an action that everybody can see. I can't imagine what Molly went through. The fact that people helped her and that she is ok is truly a blessing from God. I've prayed for her before as soon as I found her. I pray that she will be ok if she is ever in a situation that being blind is a very big and dangerous situation. I hope that nobody ever has to go through a traumatizing experience ever in their life. But if a dangerous situation ever happens to anybody, I hope that God will bless your life and will give a blessing to every body around you. If you read this, have a great day and God bless you all. :)
Ya Girl Al3ks maybe they don’t understand the purpose of the dislike? They might not like the situation if you know what I mean
They might not dislike the situation. I remember markiplers dad said that.
I think some people think that if they dont like the fact that a concert gunfire which isnt a good topic that they should hit like. lol. that's like liking a Facebook post that said my kid died of cancer ya know. idk maybe that's why. the likes aaaand dislikes help her regardless lol
Honestly it would have been scary even being a sighted person. A bunch of people running toward you in a panic, sounds of gunshots that you don't know are a barricade yet, security freaking out and telling you to get down and cover your head and run, people screaming and crying and praying for their lives all around you. It would be terrifying with sight but imagining it without sight just makes it 100x more frightening!
God bless you Ya Girl Al3ks
Oh Molly I could hear the trauma in your voice and had tears in my eyes as you were talking about it. I'm so glad that all of you got out safely and that you're ok.
I started crying just thinking about how helpless you must have felt.
Hey Molly,
I was at this event in Central Park and was one of those 10000 people who ran. It was so so scary and I never could have imagined being blind and going through that. I was separated from my friends and until I found out that we were safe I was more afraid than I have ever been.
Molly. I just wanted to say that I am a blind person myself. I’m a child and went blind completely yesterday. I just wanted to say that you make me feel so much better when you post your videos because I feel like I’m not the only blind person. It’s REALLY hard to get around today and it’s taking me 20 minutes just to write this, but just know that you’ve made me feel sooo much better about myself and how I’m going to be able to conquer the world just as a person with 20/20 vision would... I really hope that you read this.... Even if you don’t I just want to tell you that you make me feel better about myself everyday that I was loosing my sight, and now every day that I’m blind. I just wanted to say this and I really hope you read this because it would mean the world to me.
@Zara DOGAR Molly has a video on how blind people use technology. It's really interesting! I recommend it.
I mostly use the microphone. I also use VoiceOver.
If Molly Can type Then why cant anyone Else. You could use The speak text thing.
I dont want to be annoying, just trying to help❤️
Oh I didn’t know you can point out the exact date of going blind. This is a new information. Good luck, you got this stranger!
Yesterday? Did someone just maul your eyes out?!
The start of this video: "Molly, run"
Me: DAFUQ WHAT'S GOING ON?!
Infaroyya al karimah muhamad I'm pretty sure it was a false alarm...
@@sofiavias7142 Yeah. I immediately stopped the vid and do some research. still.... it's scary.
Molly, your story confirms for me that people in this day and age go through life completely unaware of their surroundings. You showed more awareness then those that panicked and caused the issue you had to go through. It also shows that people for the most part are only concerned about their own well being. It saddens me.
did anybody else start tearing up while watching this. ❤😭
animal lover yes!!!
animal lover I cried 😭😭😭😭
I did.
Me!!!
I did when she was talking about how nice is was that everyone was concerned for her or it might have been another part but I’m pretty sure that’s the part where I cried a bit
Molly, I was there at the festival with my brother. My brother was the one who stopped all of those people from trampling over your mom and the woman with her, and no, I'm not looking for attention. My brother broke his leg that night and it was because of people who didn't think to help people. If anyone says that everyone was being dramatic, they are wrong. Molly, I'm so glad you are ok, I saw you alone and I tried to help you, but I got trampled by people. I just want to say, thank you for explaining this event because it was wierd.
Alexis_ Rain phenomenon she said that your brother stood up and yelled at them to let her mum through, I burst into tears. Your brother is so brave and humble that I can't explain. Please tell him from me specifically that he is an amazing man and person. He could've died, and he risked it to save some women and a dog. Please tell him that I wish more people in the world were like him, and that he should be so proud. You should be proud Alexis, you are amazing and so is your brother.
I hope you're doing well because I realise you were at the event. I hope that you and your brother are not having any problems and I hope his leg gets better soon
What festival was this? I'm so upset over this but I'm glad you guys made it out alive there could have been so many worse consequences that I don't even want to think about..
You should be proud.
A true hero. I hope molly sees this
My scariest moment was when i was like two or three years old and a tornado hit me and my family's house. Even though i don't remember it,it tromitiszed me for YEARS and i am almost 12 now and i'm just started not to be scared of rain and thunderstorms when i was like 9 so ya that's my story that i wanted to share 🙂👋
THIS. I’m so sorry you had to go through this, I know exactly how scary it can be to realize your vulnerability in moments like this, similar to it... there are so many moments I’ve been in complete panic and anxiety, & afraid for my life because of a disability that keeps you from safety or feeling safe. It’s truly terrifying and have caused real PTSD for many of us, I’m definitely one of them but obviously I’m not confident enough to share the story but I thank Molly for making this video for those of us who can’t .... I know it’s obviously surreal when it’s something like this and you don’t know if your reaction would be fight, flight, or freeze but I feel like; maybe just saying it or sharing a story like Molly did will help someone to remember that there are people who are ill or disabled but might not look like it, being aware of it might allow you to notice and help someone who needs it. Be someone’s Angel 😇 if you can! Xo ❤️ Sending positive vibes to everyone ✌🏽❤️
Those people that helped are ANGELS , God bless💙💙
I dont understand what happened
As soon as you said the woman bear hugged you to keep you safe I started bawling 😭 thank god for the women and the man that helped you, your mom and gallup get to safety. They’re truly angels and I’m so glad you all are okay. 💕
So did I x
No one:
Literally no one:
Molly: "My husband Shawn Mendes was playing...."
Except for sister james....😂
Yeeeees
Thank you for sharing this story. I was in tears through the whole thing. So glad you and Gallop and your mom are okay. Whoever that woman was that literally used herself to shield her deserves a medal or something. Whoever that person is, thank you for restoring some of my faith in humanity.
The Angel of a man your mom and the lady had sounds like the same man I had help me! on new years eve I was in time square and me and my mom were getting trampled and squished and I went into an anxiety attack and this man seen me and stopped and stretched his arms out and said the same thing 😮 and this was 10 years ago! but it sounds so much like the angel we had that day 💗 I'm so thankful y'all were okay
Who knows maybe it was. Guardian angels have many people to watch over.

When I was in eighth grade, there was a shooting outside of my school. We went into lockdown two minutes before the bell rang at the end of the day. No one knew what was happening except for the fact that it was real because of the time it happened. I remember thinking that I was going to die. That someone was inside the school bent on killing me and my peers. I remember hearing gunshots and police sirens and praying for my life. Then we went from lock down to lock in, meaning we could move, we just couldn't leave the classroom. While I was on the phone with my mom, an office administrator who had been standing guard at our door burst in screaming "get away from the windows! Get down!" We went back into lockdown. I was so terrified. At the time, none of us knew that the man firing the weapon was firing at the school and the hospital across the street. The panic was terrifying because nobody knew what was happening. It kept going for hours until a cop was severely injured in the process of a controlled crash to stop (and ultimately kill) the shooter. To this day, I am called a drama queen by people I tell the story to because "there wasn't really a shooter INSIDE of your school". But that doesn't change the trauma I experienced when I sincerely believed it was my last day on this Earth. Even though there were procedures and securities in place to protect me, it was still scary. Even though it wasn't quite what I thought it was at the moment, it left an imprint on me that has shaken me to the very core. I am going to be a junior in high school this year, and to this day, I still get anxiety over lock downs. I moved across the country after 8th grade, so no one here gets it. So Molly, I want you to know that I get it. That you're not crazy. That I totally understand what you went through. It is terrifying, and I can't imagine going through a possible shooting without the structure and safety procedures that I had during my experience. Don't ever doubt if you deserve to be unsettled by this experience. it is unrealistic to believe that someone can go through something like that and be unaffected. (sorry for the essay. lol)
Madison Poll I totally understand you they call me a drama queen because I got stuck in the middle of a shooting and brake in at the mall and everyone says “you weren’t that close”
@@user-zn9oj3in9x It baffles me that people can think like that. Honestly, how can you expect someone to go through an experience that they don't know they'll live through and not be affected? It is a terrifying feeling that most people will never know, but if people would open up their minds to try to feel what the people in those situations feel, no one would say "you weren't that close" or "you weren't in any REAL danger" . People are the worst. I am so sorry to hear about your experience. It really is awful not knowing if you'll make it through the day. Thanks for sharing. It means a lot to know someone who wasn't there with me gets how I feel about it.
@@madisonpoll3300 That's terrifying. I'm so sorry. I just can't imagine why anyone on this planet could say things like "You weren't even that close" or "You're just being a drama queen" because how could someone not be shaken or even traumatized by an experience like that?
@@eselcool3720 Thank you!
I hope your mind gets over it and it will be possible to live an normal life.
And on more thing, kinda random but i must be around the same age as you are... not sure though.
OMG, u inspire me so much even though I am not blind. I can't believe that happened to you, I cannot even imagine being in the situation let alone being blind as well. you are what the world needs right now. I love how confident you are, this is what social media should be about. You have taught me to be grateful for just being healthy. you always find the light at the end of the tunnel even if at first there doesn't seem to be one. I love that your dream/goal is to educate people about disabilities and to give people in the same boat as you, someone to look up to!
Thank you! Xx
Actually... I was about 5, in Kindergarten when we had a lockdown at our school. My friend was sobbing the entire time because she was confused and scared. We had to bring a note home that day. It said that a High school student at our school had gotten violent, threatened a teacher then attempted to climb our building with a knife. Also more recently there was a woman shot in the head right next to my school in the car park of a nearby church. She somehow managed to drive a few mins to get help. We found out later that day at school. Students asked a teacher wether it was "safe for us to be hanging out here outside". Parents got an email that night about how the school was on lockdown. But the lockdown happened not long after she was shot, for only about twenty minutes. There were two people involved in the shooting, and so far I believe they only caught one person. Three HOURS after she was shot. The shooter could have come after the lockdown was already over, or before it started and killed everyone. So the school didn't have a long enough lockdown, yet there was an incident once where we were told school security would be tightened due to terrorism in France, and since we are a French school they believed we might be targeted. In a school on the other side of the world. Yet it's fine, we don't care if there's a shooter right next to the school. May as well invite him to join the party, ammirite?
The sixteen people who thumbsed down this video are the people who down played the situation
Warrior Cat Lovers 40🙄 i honestly don’t understand, a youtuber makes a vid about almost dying stupid ppl: “oh that’s weird” *dislike*
Not on this video, but sometimes I accidentally press on the thumbs down instead of the thumbs up. Maybe this is what happened. Or people hit the thumbs down because they don't like the tragedy that happened. I can't accept people being so hateful.
me (5'2) and my baby sis (5'3) got crushed at the front of a stage during lollapalooza 1994, i honestly though we were going to die. we were turned facing the crowd trying to push back, slowly being swallowed... suddenly this giant, amazing, beautiful man parted the crowd and picked both me and my sister up at the same time, pushed against the crowd and got us out to safety. almost 25 years later and i'll never forget him.
Kelly Farrell you should find him and reunite with him!
@@Olivia-yq9yu i do have a picture of him. i made him pose for me after because he was such a hero to me.

Everytime this video comes up on my feed I watch it. It's a great reminder that we need to all help one another every day as well in an emergency. Brings me to tears everytime I watch it. Love you Molly!
When she was mentioning her dog I started to shake because love animals and care a lot about them so I was like "shit no the poor dog don't kill it and hurt it😭"

So if molly got hurt you wouldn’ t care just about the dog
@@sgreciaa_ she never said she wouldn't care about Molly if she got hurt she just said that when she spoke about gallop being trampled she got scared because she's an animal lover

Omg-sky games Omfg does _diet_ need to be involved in every damn conversation that involves pitying an animal? I’m sorry, but this argument is so incredibly stupid. Unless we name every other animal which is harmed during this and that, we can’t sympathise dogs/xyz? Please.

I have seen this so many times in my recomendend and ignored it...
I am so happy you are okay and not traumatized. Everyone please honer the saviors of Molly and Gallop
I can't believe anyone would downplay this in any way, bling or not. People running in panic in crowds is no joke. When I was in high school there was some situation like this but in a discoclub with some party for teenagers. There was only one good exit or something and in the panic people just ran over other people. 11 teenagers were injured and 2 died from these injuries. From people stepping over them.
This is why in situations lime these,we must see at the person next to you and ask if they ok to make them feel alot better.This is why they say leave in order.I know its scary,I cant deny that but we must think of others around you.I agree with you
*NO* hate but did you mean blind?? Again *NO HATE*
laneyluu yes, they did.
Part of the problem, I think is that without having been in a similar situation yourself, it is almost impossible to realize just how terrifying, and dangerous it truly is. (and I will admit I have not myself been in a such a situation either, and hard as I try to, it probably was 100 times worse than I can even begin to imagine, even for sighted people, let alone blind)
People can die from this yes it sound dramatic but it has happened
You're not overreacting! When I was in high school we had a SCHEDULED active shooter drill, wherein one of the security members dressed up as the shooter and we were supposed to run and find safety. Even though EVERYONE knew it was fake, that didn't stop some people from stampeding. My friend was trampled and broke her leg in a DRILL. These things are scary
Chanta2424 wtf? I feel like that is too far to have someone pretend to be a shooter. That is so messed up in my opinion
@@zoupsoup1463 We were the guinea pig school in my district to test if lockdown drills would be more effective with a representation of a shooter
I ran from a bombing when I was 6 year sold and even though there was only one blast a thunderstorm happened to start so people just kept freaking out all over again in waves and stampeding.
Chanta2424 I have seen videos of schools and police departments having a drill/test of active shootings. Students could sign up to be apart of it and pretend to be a student in that situation. They had students be hostages for a bomb one too. I say test as well because they wanted it to be as real as possible for that police officers so they could be prepared in these situations.
She never said you was overreacting she said she was underreacting
Thank you for sharing your experience! You are not being dramatic, you're just explaining what you went through! All without knowing what was causing it! Assuming the worst.
I nearly go into a full blown panic attack when I lose track of my dog. I can only imagine the fear you felt through it all ❤️
Omg this made my heart pound so so much!😰😰 When you said you heard banging sounds I was honestly having a panic attack for you! I hope none of your team or Gallop got injured!!! I’ve only just started watching your channel but already I can tell that you are an inspirational young woman, who I will look up to!! I LOVE YOU MOLLY!!💖💖
I was just imagining myself in your shoes and I almost started crying i can't believe that happened.. that's so scary
Same. I can't help but imagine things when people tell stories or talk about literally anything. I tried so hard to not picture this.
Yeah U almost cried I literally cried
Legit same like as a high schooler unfortunately I'm scared as it is that a shooting will hapoen even though i go to a small school so imagining this really made me tear up.
Me too. I can’t even imagine. 100% especially with all of the things that have happened in the past couple years, this story was not exaggerated. Not only that, but she’s blind. I would be traumatized.
Totally made me cry
“My husband Shawn Mendes was playing” 😂

As someone who is wheelchair bound, this is super terrifying.
Yes... I'm also in a wheelchair and I just live with the fact that in case of emergency everyone's looking for themselves. So I have a small chance of making it or none at all if I was alone. It's a scary thought... that's why I love hearing stories of people who are risking their life by going back and helping those people who aren't able to bring themselves to safety on their own
@@MurphyMosby they are super inspirational to regular people, let alone how important AND inspirational they are for those of us their deeds affect the most. Thank you to everyone out there, who help those who can't help themselves in emergencies!
paranoiaprincess I’m in wheelchair
There's a girl wheelchair bound in my class and I've already secretly decided if shit hits the fan I'm gonna fireman carry her to safety. We had a fire drill and everybody just walked past her. The teacher didn't know where the elevator was. Such a shit show.
@@CynicalLight that's so disheartening, I feel really bad for her! The worst part about fire drills in many places, is that they actually shut the elevators down... or at least I've always thought they did... they always announce not to use the elevators and I thought it was for safety reasons. I'm wondering now if it's so people in wheelchairs can have them and also so people don't literally stand in a burning building, waiting for the elevator because everyone flocks to it. Either way, on behalf of disabled people everywere, thank you!
It's amazing how random strangers can stop in their tracks to give their lives for someone else. Thank God for those guardian angels, it's seriously mind blowing how there are people in this world that are that caring and amazing.
This is a real tear jerker and I think it is amazing that she shared this story and continues to share her traumatic experiences and her journey through blindness. Also, I don't think stories like this are "over dramatized" because I have heard from my mom's experience with crowds in a panic and stampedes. Even if the reason is not what it seems, a huge crowd in a panic is no joke. People can get really hurt and even killed if they are not fast enough or get knocked onto the ground. So don't any of you dare say that she was being over dramatic. That situation would be terrifying even with sight so just imagine not being able to see throughout the entire thing. Thank you for your time reading this I know it's long but I have a tendency to over-share my feelings. :)
I have a scary story. Me and my boyfriend live in Ireland. We decided to go visit his grandad in Donegal. Donegal is a really beautiful place and we thought we would have a beautiful moonlit walk... it was pitch black but we could kind of see, we saw this bench and decided we would sit there and chat. It was really nice but extremely cold, so we walked back and then the next day we decided to try and find the bench again and take some pictures... we found it. IT WAS RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF A FUCKING CLIFF!!! 😳 Sorry for the profanity but it was necessary. There was only a foot of grass between the bench and the 40ft drop. My stomach drops just thinking about it. 🤢
Wow
How did you not notice though, weren't there streetlights or was it something?
It makes me angry reading the articles, as they say "people heard the barrier collapse and it created a mass panic" No. The panic started when the barriers started to fall. It's frustrating that they continue to play it off. Almost all articles are reading "they thought it was a shooting but the real danger was the panic." I haven't been able to find a single apology from the event (if someone does please link it) barriers shouldn't just "fall".

@Audrey Kiedis I saw that one too! It's so hard when media has a thousand diffrent speculation and stories, and continue even to down play everything. People were scared because this is the world we live in. Shooting, bombings, and other awful things aren't shocking anymore. It's an honest tragity.
I agree, the barrier shouldn't just collapse...
This isn't talking about the barrier, but it apologizes for injuries..

Your right and unless someone made the barrier fall or if the barriers were sitting there for over 100 or so years barriers can’t just fall.
Sometimes I forget molly is blind because she is so good at eye contact and hand gestures
The first time I watched a video of hers, I didn't know she was blind. She didn't explicitly state it in that video but I was picking up on so many things that indicated it. I was SOOO confused lmao
Yeah it’s because she had learned all the social cues starting as a baby and up until she was 14. So she rolls her eyes, looks to the side in “uuhhhh” or “Woooow” situations, and moves her hands like all the gestures you do. Some people born blind also do hand gestures but not eye movements that much.
OMG! I can't believe it! I'm crying, I can feel you fear! This storie opened my mind complitely!! Hope nobody have to go though it! I'm really happy you and your mom, your dog and the rest could get out of there!
Sorry my English is bad... But I wanted you to know that you were really brave!
Love you channel! You are a reference to mi in life! Even I don't have any disability, you have tough to me to fight, to be brave, and to enjoy the life.
THANKS YOU!
You put this video up 11 days after my 11th birthday! I'm so sorry that happened to you. I love your videos! Thank you for being so inspiring! I'm not blind but a lot of your videos have inspired me!
my older sister was there and she broke her femur after falling at the barricade and bench thing and being trampled by tons of people finally I guy picked her up and carried her the rest of the way she finally got to a hospital and is going to therapy its mind boggling what people do in these situations
Edit: thank you all for all this support I found a link updated recently about it www.google.com/amp/s/variety.com/2018/music/news/global-citizen-festival-review-new-york-1202962626/amp/

So sorry what happened to your sister.What event was it?
@@Noora_Spruce It was the Global Citizen Festival
Kammy Marie wait so what happened was it a shooting or?
@@tannahtriplett2567 Molly explains it in the video. A barrier was falling which caused people to back up away from it which caused the stampede and then the "gunshots" were more barriers falling down.
One of my scariest moments was when I was 16 babysitting 4 kids. We were upstairs and I was getting the kids bathed and ready for bed and we hear a very loud crash that sounded like glass and someone breaking in followed by a deep and unnerving voice. I was so freaked out. The parents werent supposed to be home for another few hours and I was young myself..caring for 4 kids! 2 of which were under 2. One was a baby. I got all of the kids in the bathroom and locked us in there. After some time of listening and telling them to stay completely quiet I don't hear anything at all..mind you, my phone was not on me! So I walk around the corner and slowly start to peak downstairs around the railing and i dont see anything..but soon enough I hear more loud voices and now music and I realize that we had left a movie on and they had some major surround sound with speakers on the ceiling..it was Harry Potter! And Hagrid that we had heard! I was so relieved! I know looking back it's kind of funny but at the time it felt as real as if there was an intruder and I was going to have to hide and possibly protect these precious kids and myself. I was so unprepared to do that..but who is?! Thank God for Harry Potter!! Whew!
That is really funny now, but yes I would have been terrified. I'm glad you tried protecting the kids, your a trooper.
Claire Wingerd oh my god. Terrifying and hilarious
Claire Wingerd u scared meeeee
I know right?! I was terrified!! Despite the fact that everything was okay the feeling of panic and utter disbelief of what I thought was happening were so real! I will never forget that!
Claire Wingerd who would trust 4 infants with a 16 year old babysitter? bad parents. this is not a personal attack at you, but good thing you were responsible
I don’t even know what I would do I would be so so scared and you seemed to have handled it amazingly!! I am so glad you and everyone else is okay! Love you so much!! ❤️
I love how through every hard thing she goes through, she always learns something good from it
The scariest moment in my life happened almost a year ago. March 20. I was a senior in high school. The day started normal and two minutes before first bell, I heard what I thought was a textbook drop. The true source of the sound was much, much worse. A few minutes after the seeming “textbook drop”, the principal came on the overhead speakers and told us we were going on lockdown. He would not tell us why. At this point it was 8am. We sat in classrooms with the doors locked and hid in the dark. A few short moments later, sirens. From every direction. A deafening, overwhelming sound of sirens. Still, we were left to speculate. I texted my mother “I think there has been a shooting at school. I am okay, I don’t know anything though. I am safe and I love you”. We sat. For HOURS. Hours we sat in the dark as we heard police yells echo in the hallways. I was on the second story of the school, and my classroom was near an open bay that overlooked the first story. I could hear footsteps and more yelling. We still knew nothing. Nobody would tell us what was happening. 9am went by. 10am went by. 11am went by. It was 11:14am when we heard a banging on our classroom door. Our principal unlocked the door and police rushed in. They asked if there was a threat to the classroom to which he answered “no”. At this point, police had their weapons raised. They told us to “put our hands in the air and leave everything behind”. Still, we were confused. They ordered us into the hallway in a single file line. They patted each and every one of us down. And then I knew. The loud bang was in fact NOT a textbook. It was a gunshot. The emotions I felt in that second were overwhelming. Fear, anger, confusion, rage, to name a few. How is this real? Once we were all patted down, we proceeded to walk downstairs and out through a back entrance of the school. Classrooms were empty, dark, and in complete disarray. There was an entryway blocked off with guards. I would come to find out that this is where the body of a peer was found, along with the perpetrator. At this point, I was in shock. I was crying, but I wasn’t quite sure exactly why. Every emotion I felt was racing through my veins all at once. When leaving the school, there were probably 50 police vehicles. SWAT, county police, state police, a bomb squad. I finally reunited with my family around 3pm that day. We didn’t go back to school for two weeks. When I returned, my math notebook was still sitting on my desk with my colorful pens. My book bag remained in my chair the entire two weeks. Walking down the hallway knowing a classmate had been shot to death there was very eerie and hard to process/grieve. Going back to finish my senior year was hard. This wasn’t supposed to happen, not to somewhere I was apart of. Not to my peers. The prior week we had a school-wide rally against gun violence. Not two weeks before we were writing letters to Parkland survivors. In my letter I said, “I am sorry you had to go through what you did. I cannot even comprehend what you feel.” And three weeks after that letter, I did know. I knew exactly how they felt. And to be honest, for a long time I had wished that I didn’t know how they felt. Part of me still wishes that I didn’t know. Even now, it is hard to talk about. I can’t go in large areas with big crowds without wondering if someone is present with ill intentions. I always have an escape route everywhere I go. I flinch when someone drops a textbook or makes a sudden loud noise, not by choice but by habit. It’s still hard to talk about, and so many emotions are still present. I’m so incredibly thankful that I survived.
Ashley that must have been terrifying
I hope that everyone else is ok
Ashley This made me tear up. I'm sorry, so sorry that you had to go through this. I'm the one who's saying now that I have no clue what you went through, but I'm sorry...
I am so sorry for you. I hope you were able to get therapy or some sort of counseling to work through those horrible emotions. Hoping you heal💞
I'm so sorry, that must have been terrifying and I wish the best for you 😘
Ashley you're such an incredible writer! Your story is so inspirational to me.. I'm also one of those people who has no clue what you've actually been through, but your storytelling is so amazing that I can say I have a better idea of what it's like. Blessings and thank you so much for sharing your story! ❤️
The scariest thing that’s ever happened to me was waking up to a phone call telling me my son’s dad had been shot and killed 💔 Breaking the news to my 10 year old son was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do
Wow 😮😭😢
This is 😓😭
I’m so sorry God bless ur family 😕😢❤️
Brittany Reeder aww im so sorry..💖 may he rest in peace
Brittany Reeder I’m so sorry😭
I can’t even imagine how scary and traumatic this was I’m so glad everyone is ok xx
I’m just glad that you and your mom and your dog is safe and we all can’t thank the people who saved you enough. Thank you all the people who helped her,her mom and gallop.❤️
Who else felt bad for the doggy??❤️🐶
Me 🐕🐩🐕🐩🐩🐕🐩🐕🐕🐕🐩🐩🐕🐕🐺
Anne Fraipont i also felt extremely bad for Molly. She is blind and just had to go by what she was hearing and couldn’t see and just heard screaming and bangs and people crying and shouting and she probably thought she would die. I give props to her for being able to stand because I would be shaking so much (even as a person with sight) and would not be able to move. We take for granted so many things like our abilities so I am so grateful Molly is ok! (But also the doggo)
Anne Fraipont don't forget about molly
I literally cried when she described people trampling him.
MEEEEE I was like GALLOP WHAT HAPPENED TO GALLOP IS HE OKAY??!?!
The scariest moment of my life happened when I was 12; after school the buses were about to leave and I was walking to my own bus then my vice principal starting screaming I looked back and saw that a bus hit the curb and kept going I turned back bc I thought it was a dream then I looked again and saw that the bus hit a tree about 5 yrds from the sidewalk but as I looked closer I saw kids crawling out from underneath it and sadly one body that did not move after that a couple of kids caught up with me and we ran to our bus and told the driver. we couldn't leave the school and I noticed that my sister and close friend weren't on the bus. that day was so traumatizing bc I thought I lost them. I would write more but the story is too long. at the end of the experience my sister and friend were ok but the lifeless body turned out to be my beloved principal. that day she put her life to the ultimate risk to push 5 other students out of the way including one that was handicapped. to this day I'm still traumatized. Rest in piece Susan Jordan
Omg...... i looked it up, its real. Im so sorry....... i cried watching her memorial video......... i have no words.
Celeste Noella what’s the video called so I can see bc I know how it feels

I forgot to mention this but today is actually the 3 year anniversary of her death date 😢
Oh my lord... absolutely no words for how terrifying this must have been for you and everyone else there. Almost in tears, I could hear the fear in your voice. So grateful you made it out and this is such an important message. I started to tear up truly when you said that you got separated from Gallop. You are so brave and beautiful, but yes you can be vulnerable and that's ok. We are all vulnerable in different ways. Why should you not get help because you have a disability. 💜💜 I never faced anything like this, but I went to the big New Years fireworks show a few years ago when a family member tripped and injured her leg on some kind of metal or something... she could taken to the hospital and she was fine, luckily we were in a more empty area so there weren't many crowds.
