Max, said he hit upon the idea of using music for crowd control during an aid distribution mission last month.<\/p>\n<p>The Haitians were trying to push ahead in line for aid,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI put my iPod into the sound system and played some songs and the people were calmer,\u201d he said. \u201cIt reduced tension within the crowd. The next day we went out and it got the same effect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Max said his unit told Army leaders in Haiti about the effectiveness of music for crowd control and that its use is spreading.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Jackson songs are, by far, the most popular with crowds, Max said. The Haitians try to mimic Michael Jackson\u2019s dance moves and incorporate some hip-hop steps, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stripes.com\/article.asp?section=104&#038;article=68395\">Stripes<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The late Michael Jackson is helping U.S. soldiers in Haiti deliver aid and start to rebuild the earthquake-shattered nation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2676","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-michael-jackson-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
