Given this only happened months after the Ariana Grande concert was bombed in Manchester, I'm sure a lot of people assumed it was a terror attack, explaining the panic
Yes I work at the Primark there and was working that day. All the customers ran into our store and our manager opened the back door and everyone including us ran out in the direction Stratford international and we all stopped there. One of my colleagues a young 17 18 years female colleague was so terrified and scared she hugged onto me and I was holding her and she was crying and I told her it's ok nothing will happen and also an older woman who shopped at Primark also held her and gave her comfort. We saw several police cars including armed response units and helicopter already inair because people started panicking and calling police like a terror attack.the police checked the premises no threats and was open safely after sound one and half hour everything was ok.
I was there when its happened... i remmber we run in one of the shop and they put all of us under the tables... shut the shop gates and let uz run through the coridors by fallowing exit...
It was a fire alarm at the beginning so we were walking calmly towards the exit (i work there so i am used to fire alarm announcements) and then all the crowd outside the building came back running towards us saying there's a bomb and gunman so we had to run back in i was actually saying my last prayers waiting for the center to explode or getting shot or something it's hard not to run ,people actually broke some shops doors and were stumbling over each other Terrifying experience
I think it says "Attention please, attention please. This is a fire safety announcement. Please move away from this area immediately. Please follow all instructions given to you by center management staff. Please be aware of descending smoke curtains."
Judging by another video from inside the centre when this happened and their account there was a fire in TK maxx as he came down from the escalator from sports direct and 3rd floor food hall etc as he does this there was a loud bang which sounded like a gunshot and could hear smashed glass and everyone starts screaming and he stops recording. So i assume this is why they ran as where he exited and where they are in this video is only a few shops from tk maxx :)
Dont run when theres a fire it can get worser Dont run because of a fire smoke or anything else it may seem Terrfiying but dont run it can be worser and evacuate in the nearest fire exit.
We had to evacuate manor green college due to a fire alarm the head of the college said it was the primary a teacher from primary slipped and she caught it I panicked but Becca from 3sn said keep calm
It's desined to be calming to avoid panic. All announcements of this kind are recorded in a calm but firm voice so most people will follow the instruction but not panic or run.
jesus it was prob a small fire anyway and that centre is huge it'd take like 3 hours for smoke to fill every bit of it not like a terrorists attack happening jesus.
Even after the smoke curtains are down there are still plenty of egress points within the areas that open to the outside. The smoke curtains are just to stop the smoke spreading through the whole centre, they dont totally seal the area.
It was a real fire in a TK Maxx store but for some reason there were loud pop sounds which people thought were gunshots. People panicked and thought it was a terrorist attack which triggered all that.
Frightening how everyone stampeded back the way they came, toward the one exit. Lucky there were no fallers and no serious crush injuries.
One person falling can result in many deaths due to crush injuries and asphyxiation. :(

Yes, That sounds like it.
Totally
Tip: stay calm don't run when the fire alarm sounds.
OMG they heard those before in school part of learning in school is learning to leave the building calmly

Stay calm too
Imagine screaming while running away
Wat da gel?
Is this in luton?
"Evacuate calmly"
Never. Run. In. Case. Of. A. Fire.
Holy shit holy fucking shit really a fire broke out in In my nearest big shopping centre
Plus a fire broke out this morning In that shopping centre
*F***ING CALM DOWN PEOPLE*
Were the flames suddenly bursting huge ? Dont understand it
I would be guessing yes, something caused a fire and it probably would burst into flames, of course this would cause major panic.
FAKE BECAUSE I DONT SEE IT
@@ajsmusic723 it isnt fake there was a real fire in TK Maxx and there was smashed glass
Omg i was there that time,plus it happend today!
Same
Panic When The Fire Alarm Is Going Off!!
@@emilianohaskurti9344 dont, that wasnt the reason people were panicing. There was a bomb and gunmen
@MixelTheCreator (banned from posting) #SaveUkraine ikr, I'm so used to it I don't cover my ears or anything, I like the sound of alarms idk why
Are you sure they don’t think it was a bomb evacuation
Dont run when theres a fire it can get worser Dont run because of a fire smoke or anything else it may seem Terrfiying but dont run it can be worser and evacuate in the nearest fire exit.
We had to evacuate manor green college due to a fire alarm the head of the college said it was the primary a teacher from primary slipped and she caught it I panicked but Becca from 3sn said keep calm
You should not run if there is a fire, this can cause a mass panic and people might trip over each other (which is obv not good)
That’s crazy
where where is the fire?
TK maxx
Why did everyone start running suddenly?
Drama queens
I think they saw smoke or fire or something
They thought it was a terrorist attack at the time
There was loud bangs so they thought it was a terrorist attack
I hope everyone involved was ok.
Wow was there fire? I cannot run I hurt my knee while coming down on stairs
Holy Crap
this is the most embarrassing thing i've ever fucking watched. stampeding to the one exit and screaming,
People don't take the time to look for the closer egress doors. They just go to the main entrance that is used in normal situations.
Does anyone know what the main fire alarm is? Her voice was so relaxing
It is a Gent System with addressable speakers which is why the fire tone sounds lower
my schools old gent ones would give me panic attacks tho. they have been repkaced last year
It's desined to be calming to avoid panic. All announcements of this kind are recorded in a calm but firm voice so most people will follow the instruction but not panic or run.
@@tiktokcompilations7218 You mean one of these Gent sirens? czcams.com/video/fJAWymdk_U4/video.html&ab_channel=stephensrailways
At Westfield White City it is Siemens
What part is onfire off shopping centre
It was TK Maxx that was on fire. There was then loud bangs and people started panicking which cause them to run
I heard some hochiki sounders and some apollo sounders
When did the Hochiki sounders get heard just wondering lol, I heard some Apollos too
Gent intercom fire alarm system
Wow why are we all screaming I had a real fire 🔥 when my oiled electric radiator caught fire I unlocked the door and called fire service
it was not a fire but reported bomb threat / gun man
It wasn’t confirmed to be a fire or bomb alert
Well a comment did
In any other British city people don't behave like this. They stay calm and walk. You only see shit like this in London
yeah because nearly all uk terror attacks happen in london
jesus it was prob a small fire anyway and that centre is huge it'd take like 3 hours for smoke to fill every bit of it not like a terrorists attack happening jesus.
How does women screaming help ANYTHING?
Where about’s was this
It says in the title-
0:35 you can hear another fire alarm
Wait what ?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🙏
I like the wee wooo
Sonos?
Omg
Flipping heck
Tip: where is the fire
What happened
They were all rushing because after a certain amount of minutes the fire shutters and curtains will descend
Even after the smoke curtains are down there are still plenty of egress points within the areas that open to the outside. The smoke curtains are just to stop the smoke spreading through the whole centre, they dont totally seal the area.
Plus there should be emergency exit buttons to get through
The Smoke curtains only close at shops
It happened again
Did anyone actually see a fire
It scary to me.
Where was the fire
TK Maxx
Guess what happened again
WTF?! AGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH! NO FUCKING RUNNING? DO U KNOW THE RULES OF EVACUATION?!
It was an electric fire, something popped so people thought they were gunshots
@@kiri2235 I probably know that now it's an old comment from 2 years ago
chill
I was here
wtf why they being dramatic
THERE IS A FIRE
Oh you just walk when the fire bursts at you
A loud sound scared them so they thought it was a terrorist attack
Loud bangs in the mall made people think there was a terrorist attack
Idiots.. Ran inside the building during a fire alarm, when they were outside the entrance
EVERYONEIS SHOUTING CUZ OF THE FIRE.

Ili

Yep DUMB they just walk what if they die
Why did everyone run? Thought at first a person a with a gun came through
It was a real fire in a TK Maxx store but for some reason there were loud pop sounds which people thought were gunshots. People panicked and thought it was a terrorist attack which triggered all that.
There was a fire in one of the shops and there were loud bangs, so people started to panic and ran out
