Casting for the next season of Tyra Banks schools some models nearly killed a couple of model hopefuls. While a huge herd of wannabes waited to get their turn to try out for “America’s Next Top Model,” a car overheated and backfired. This caused model mayhem.

As you can see in the video, screaming erupted after some idiot yelled to the crowd that there was bomb. Obviously there was no bomb. Fencing was knocked down as thousands of women scrambled to get out of the area. A total of 6 women were injured.

Via NY Daily News:

“The girls were running like it was 9/11 part two,” said Jennifer Brown, 27, of Kensington, Brooklyn. “I feared for my life.” Another stated: “The metal barricade fell down,” said Kiara McCarthy, 19, of Levittown, L.I. “All of a sudden we heard this roar from behind us and we looked behind us and there’s a wave of people falling on top of us.”

Then after the scare, the remaining models were forced to stay in line no matter what.

“I had to pee in a cup and change my clothes in the street,” said Mona Knight, 18, of the Bronx, who arrived at 11:30 p.m. Friday night. “There was no organization whatsoever.”

“Everyone was so compressed, I don’t think they could breathe,” said Alex Saavedra, 23, who escorted his girlfriend to the audition. “Then they started passing out.”

Soon the auditions were shut down after the riot caused the stampede. The 6 injured women are currently in the hospital and in stable condition.

This is a great idea. A bunch of short models who are already living on 3 cheese cubes, Diet Coke and cigarettes were herded into a confined area. Yup. I can tell Tyra was the brains behind this.
