    Worker dies at Long Island Wal-Mart after being trampled in Black Friday stampede - BY JOE GOULD, CLARE TRAPASSO and RICH SCHAPIRO, NY Daily News
    Roughly 2,000 people gathered outside the Wal-Mart's doors in the predawn darkness.

    Chanting 'push the doors in,' the crowd pressed against the glass as the clock ticked down to the 5 a.m. opening.

    Sensing catastrophe, nervous employees formed a human chain inside the entrance to slow down the mass of shoppers.

    It didn't work.

    The mob barreled in and overwhelmed workers.
