TIL that the worst stadium disaster in history was the collapse of a wooden amphitheater in 27 AD that killed 20,000 people.

20k in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ + 27 is probably half the fucking population of the entire city
The population of Rome the city at the time is estimated at about one million people. So twenty thousand is like 2% - one out of every fifty people in the city died in that stadium.
Interestingly, Jesus probably heard about this disaster. Woulda been a current event for him.
