Stampede

Wild horses stampeding

A stampede (/stæmˈpd/)[1] is a situation in which a group of large animals suddenly start running in the same direction, especially because they are excited or frightened. Although the term is most often applied to animals, there are cases of humans stampeding from danger too.
