It yields 10 words. Not 9, unless there are two versions.

So, I have a completed grid and 9+1 words for submission.

Still clueless re the extra words, Jan 2006 event.

Apologies if my 10-word solution is incorrect as I have not more completely identified the theme with the extra words in clues.

It seems unlikely the setter and editor would make a mistake like that :-(

I think 2d. is a word for "being", with 2 letters replaced by 4.
A different 9-word solution can be derived from the extracted words. I can't see how it caused a stampede, however.

The unclued entries are the key. The stampede was figurative.
