A casting call for America's Next Top Model in midtown New York City turned chaotic when someone started yelling, "There's a bomb!" A riot ensued, which resulted in injuries for six women. Screaming and running in heels, the contestants tried to leap over barricades intended to separate the crowd from street traffic.
According to a witness who talked with the New York Daily News, "The girls were running like it was 9/11 part two. I feared for my life." To be fair, they probably assumed it was an impromptu challenge by host and creator Tyra Banks. Cant you just hear her saying, "You never know when you might be on the catwalk at the same time as there's a bomb threat. You have to be able to work it. One time, when I was at a fashion show in the Gaza Strip..." and well, you get the idea.
I'll be the first to admit that I think the expression "fashion disaster" is thrown around way to easily, but I'm pretty sure that's the only way to describe what happened here.
