Crucifixion alone is enough to cause us to tremble.  But note the reactions of the soldiers who crucified Jesus and the crowds who witnessed it who had seen crucifixions before- the centurion and his crew were very frightened (Mt 27:54) and the crowds went home beating their breasts (Lk 23:48), an outward expression of their deep emotional distress.
