The qustions is: Why was it out of control?

That question has been answered for those with the ability to do a liitle of their own non-conspiratorial based reseach with the amount of material about this event on the web nowadays - your overlooking some of the more substantative excerpts I've posted above certainly gives me a clue where you're coming from, too; convincing folks such as yourself is an possible task, I'm convinced.
