The emotion and grief in Shanghai after the huge stampede that left at least 36 dead and forty wounded. Residents laid flowers on the square Chen Yi, where thousands of people gathered last night to celebrate the New Year. Shortly before midnight, a crowd movement has transformed into a nightmare evening. The victims, mostly young women, were trampled.
This man calls into question the authorities: "There was not enough police. It was poorly organized, he said. It is sad to see that in a city as big as Shanghai. I hope that such a tragedy will not happen again in the future. ''
The causes of this stampede remain unclear. Witnesses indicate that coupons, similar to dollars, were thrown from a nightclub, overlooking the famous Bund promenade. Others emphasize the enormity of the crowd at the scene.
Shanghai had not experienced such a tragedy from a burning building in 2010.
