re:"You don't believe 30,000 could be killed in such a provocation, because 30k is such a laughably large number. How about 2 million killed or enslaved between the years 66-73?"

I don't believe 30,000+ were killed when a crowd panicked (from a fart) and rushed toward the exits. What relationship does that have to the number killed between 66-73? Where did you get the 35 acre figure? The Roman Coliseum is estimated to have accommodated about 50,000.....I have spent many hours there and in numerous ball parks around the country. I'm dubious about the 50,000 number also. My guess would be closer to 25,000.
