New Year's stampede in Shanghai: 35 dead, 43 injured

.
Some pple just lost all sense of situation awareness when they see $$. In that mass of crowd, shit is bound to happen.
 
.
The owner and management of the bar should be held accountable. If that happened here in the Philippines...they would be charged with reckless imprudence resulting in multiple homicide and injury. Compensation should be given to the families of the victims.
 
.
Prayers and best wishes to our Chinese friends. I hope the families are comforted, at such a terrible time.

Crowds are seriously scary if things go wrong.

It was said the saboteurs are not Chinese.

The "fake money" is actually promo cards for a nightclub or something. Truly this is a tragedy. At the same time, I doubt the nightclub owners' intent was to create a stampede. RIP to the deceased.

The Shanghai government needs to sell tickets to gatherings like this in the future. True the Bund is open to everyone but for new years, given China's large population, a nominal fee for a ticket would go a long way in thinning out the crowd while generating some revenue. Money and safety.

Another reason not to celebrate western new year. It's so lame. Just count down than get wasted. One day to recover and work the day after. No thanks.
Give me Chinese new year, with real good food, red pocket money, celebrating with family and friends. Plus it lasts one week.

It will certainly be *my* last western new year celebration for a while. My car got towed, I got drunk as hell, and I lost my blazer. And I'm still hungover even now. :sick:

Among the victims are 1 Malaysian and 1 Taiwanese. The youngest victim was 12 years old.

They have parades and stuff too.

again, you're wrong. It relates to self-control, aggressive, greedy, anger...

in the hospital, the angry crowd against security.

Just so I'm clear: you're saying that all Chinese people are greedy and aggressive because you have a picture of an angry crowd of people who are mad at a hospital who won't give them information about their loved ones, many of whom are injured or deceased?

Reported. :wave:
 
. .
Greed.One of the seven deadly sins.
RIP.Unnecessary,tragic and just pointlessly stupid incident.

It was the saboteur who deliberately thrown the fake dollar bills at the crowd which caused this tragedy.

From latest police investigation,throwing discount coupon is not the cause of that accident
The main reason is the crowed lost control when some people become too excited and disturbed.
Gov should take responsibility of not giving enough information and the police were not enough.

Wish tragedy would never happen again and the victim rest in peace.

All things restore order now.Thanks a lot for everyone who care about the victims.Let's pray for them.

The police is just too embarrassed to admit that those people died because of some coupons.

RIP to the innocent victims. Shame on those greedy people who got excited for some coupons.
