Thousands Mash Through Boise Mall Doors

smashcrowd.jpgDoors were broken, and shoppers were scraped and bruised as thousands surged through the Boise Towne Square Mall in Boise, Idaho at 1am this morning. Raw video shot by KTVB shows rampage hordes trying to squeeze themselves through just two doors at one mall entrance. It appears that some of the doors swung outward and it was impossible to open them with the crush of consumers pushed up against the glass.

The mall opened its doors to nearly 10,000 people at 1 a.m.! Thousands lined up to be one of the first 500 people to receive a gift bag.
