EDIT: Several people are claiming the doors were being held shut. I can't believe the guy who held the doors shut is on the news telling people about it.
I heard on the news that the emergency exit of the venue was chained shut and that is why people couldn't exit through it.
While browsing live leak I came across 2 videos with interviews of people there.
The first video the guy is saying how he blocked the exit of the door from the OUTSIDE while they were escaping. During the interview he said he heard banging on the door but didn't open it. He then said he hopes no one was behind him. Basically he barricaded the door then escaped through a hole in the fence and never removing the barricade trapping the people inside.
The second video is from someone that was inside saying that they tried to escape but someone was holding the door shut and wouldn't let them exit.
I understand being in the moment you panic and what not. It is easy to Monday morning quarterback. This is what I thought of when I saw the 2 videos. If you are outside and able to run through a fence you basically are out of there. There was no need to leave a barricade there preventing others from escaping.
Edit: Megan Kelley asks him about preventing people from escaping. He was kind of stumped. Who wears headphones during a new interview?
