China...Dozens killed and injured in stampede at Shanghai’s new year celebrations At least 35 people have been killed in a stampede in Shanghai after fake money was reportedly thrown from a building into a huge crowd of people celebrating the new year. In one of the worst disasters to hit a major Chinese city in recent years, the Shanghai government said another 42 people were injured amid the chaos which occurred about a half-hour before midnight in the historic Bund area. It was not immediately clear what triggered the stampede, but state media and witnesses said the incident was caused when people tried to pick up fake money thrown from a building.
