Electric Zoo, a music festival in New York City, ended in chaos on Sunday when the event reached capacity and festivalgoers began running through the gates to get in.
Social media captured the crowd running past the security guards after it was announced that they could not allow more people on site."They are just storming! Oh my God! They're just storming! I guess they can't do anything. They are going to shut it down. This is insane," two onlookers said as they watched the gates being overtaken by music fans.
