I seriously thought I was going to die... (trigger warning)

What's one of the scariest moments in your life? Don't forget to spread love and positivity in this world! Help others, be kind! <3 xo

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.

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.

Hearing gallop getting trampled on literally made my heart hurt. And i started to cry. Im so sorry molly

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.

When you said you lost gallop, i lost my mind🤧

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 want to know what Gallop thought and was feeling during that whole thing.

I love how she manages to explain it like she can see everything

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!!!!!

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

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).

Someone needs to sue this place... They literally put everyone in danger and acted as if nothing happened. Smh.

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 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!

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

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 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!

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.

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.
