However, things began to get worse. Cody described how he had even seen a fight break out as people's anxiety about being stuck mounted. "It was like throwing hands each other", he said. "It was this lady and another lady, the first lady had a child with diabetes. "We edged out of the space, about 30cm. I've got voice messages of people screaming. There's swearing, verbal abuse."
