At Memorial Stadium, the Orioles host “Safety Patrol Day” to honor students who helped their schoolmates travel to and from school safely by giving free admission to 20,000 children from around the state of Maryland to the team’s game against the Cleveland. Unfortunately, a freak accident involving an escalator to the upper deck causes the death of a teenage girl and injuries to 46 other children when a people channeler, a device to control the crowding of patrons getting onto an escalator, was inadvertently left on top, restricting the flow of kids in the wrong direction, a blockage which caused children to fall back onto one another when they could not exit at the same pace as people getting onto the the moving steps.
