Did you not watch the video? The crowd was not forcing anyone into the float

Fox 8 playing the footage from the twitter video. A little bit surprising.

Looks like he's running to flag down the driver.


I bet you’re right. The timing would be about right for when the float stops

Freak accidents can happen, but I'll just say that if you're close enough to get pushed underneath a float, then you're probably way to close to the float to begin with.

You obviously haven’t seen the video, and are presenting false assumptions in the form of facts.

 I see tandem floats are the norm now. Are tractors to pull hard to come by or something??


It's a loop hole in parade ordinance, I believe. City limits number of floats that can be in a parade and a tandem only counts as 1 float.

Allows for increases in krewe membership without technically increasing amount of floats in a parade.

Looks like the guy at the .15 mark is running to stop the driver or just running. Only thing telling from this video is everyone is looking up and the only people who knew what was going on are the 2 dudes yelling for help on the float.
