Tyra Banks keeps aspiring models hopes alive, announced plans for new audition date

With the overwhelming turnout that ended into a stampede, aspiring models who failed the opportunity to tryout in America's Next Top Model will have another chance.

The show's host and executive producer Tyra Banks issued a statement Monday:
"To all the Top Model hopefuls who were affected by the New York casting, we are doing everything we can to make sure that ALL the girls who weren't seen, get an opportunity to audition—we'll update you on our plans very soon."
Keeping the hopes of aspiring models alive, she added, "It is so important to me to redefine beauty and make sure that everyone gets a fair chance to pursue their dream. I am beyond excited for Cycle 13; for the first time ever, young women 5'7" and under have a shot at becoming America's Next Top Model! I encourage each girl to come out ready to rock the runway and show off their fiercest pose. I'm rooting for all of you!"

On the said stampede, police arrested three people (Two women and a man were arrested on disorderly conduct charges) and at least six people were injured, two of whom were hospitalized during the panic riot.
