Short title	A dense crowd at a blocked exit experiences pressure while people behind lack information.
Image title	Plan view of a dense crowd moving towards a narrow exit in the right-hand wall. Density increases towards the front, where a hatched zone marks compression. Arrows at the left show people still arriving at the rear. A zigzag double-headed arrow through the crowd marks a shock wave. Above the crowd, a broken dashed link between rear and front, crossed out in the middle, marks limited communication. No critical density value is given.
