A friend posted this looking for Madden.

UC Berkeley alumnus and former Daily Californian online managing editor Seung Lee narrowly avoided the tragedy when he left the warehouse to purchase drinks at a nearby liquor store.

"There were a lot of people holding each other — there were some people kind of crying and wailing and just saying, 'Oh my god, oh my god,' " Lee told the student paper. "That's one of the hardest parts — it's the fact that you know maybe they knew that they had people inside there."
