Panic’s aftermath Flowers and photos are placed in front of the Kiss nightclub in Santa Maria, Brazil, on January 29, 2013, to pay tribute to the victims of a horrific fire at the club a few days earlier. A total of 242 clubbers were killed and 112 injured in the fire, many as a result of crowd panic, stampeding, and crushing. Catastrophes such as this remind us that people with panic disorder are not the only ones to experience panic.
