Survivor of the Stampede Shows Stress

Yvonne Schroeder (20), a survivor of the stampede at the Duisburg Love Parade techno festival on Saturday, breaks out in tears during a demonstration against the Mayor of Duisburg outside the Duisburg city hall July 29, 2010. Several hundred of protesters gathered outside the town hall to mourn the death of 21 techno fans in the stampede when hordes of young people pushed through a tunnel into the techno festival area at a former freight rail yard in Duisburg. The banner reads, Are people not worth more?

When we physically ache from a headache, we will often attempt to reduce the stress by rubbing on our temples.

We will also do this subconsciously when we are under stress and are thinking about something difficult to comprehend.

Physically there could be increased blood pressure and high heart rates and our bodies recognize the stress and we rub our temples.

It also allows a certain amount of eye blocking.

Notice the person in the background with their hand covering the mouth.

Emotionally charged moment.◦
