Please help with listening transcript!
 
Hi everyone!
I �m making a listening task for my students, about the last days of Pompeii. I �ve found a short video at Discovery Channel, where Pliny (an eye-witness) recounts what happened and I �ve already written down the transcript, but there are a couple of words that I can �t make out!
So, if you feel like it go to http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/pompeii/pliny/video.html and listen carefully! I �ll post below the part of the transcript with the confusing words. It �s not long after the beginning of the video.
I hope someone can understand what it says!

Here goes:
 
We decided to leave the town finally. A dazed crowd followed us. Their numbers were so large that they �������������� and then swept us along.
