The New Year Celebrations Turned Disastrous In China
Stampede claimed 35 lives and left 48 other people injured in China
The chaos reportedly began after coupons that resembled dollar bills were thrown out of a third-floor window in Shanghai's waterfront area.
“I heard people screaming, someone fell, people shouted ‘don't rush’. There were so many people and I couldn't stand properly,” a witness who had been celebrating with friends said.
Many of those who got injured in the incident are currently receiving treatment at the Shanghai No. 1 People's Hospital and officials have said that investigations are still ongoing into the cause of the stampede.
