it didn't end up like the Catholic World Youth Day in Denver back in 1994?................300 to 400 THOUSAND KIDS, out in the open, temps in the 90's, with nowhere near enough water and porta potties. It wasn't just the heat, they had all just walked 10 miles, in 90+ degree heat, from downtown Denver to the Cherry Creek Reservoir Area......and most of them from the flatlands weren't used to the 5K altitude of Denver......
It was quickly declared the largest *Mass Casualty Incident* ever recorded..........EMT's and Paramedics from a radius of 50 miles around Denver were pouring in emergent.......from noon to 8pm that night, they started over 20,000 IV's in dehydrated kids that were crumping from the heat.......Un-real that no one died.........Thank goodness, the Colorado National Guard, in large numbers, was also on duty at the event, guarding Bill Clinton and the Pope........their help made all the difference......
