(SRF/swissinfo.ch) Researchers in Zurich are warning that if audiences at major events fear terror attacks, even a small bang can trigger mass panic, and organisers need to have escape plans in place in case of a stampede. In May this year, 22 people were killed after a bomb went off at a concert given by American singer, Ariana Grande, in Manchester, Britain.
