Stampede *************** A stampede by New Years revellers in Shanghais historic riverfront area killed 35 people and injured dozens more. The crush happened in crowded conditions shortly before midnight on December 31, as people packed the Bund district to welcome the New Year. The cause of the accident was under investigation, the statement said, adding city government leaders had called for every effort to care for the 42 injured. The injured have been taken to at least three local hospitals. Although people have traditionally flocked to the Bund to celebrate the New Year, the district government overseeing the area has more recently hosted a performance to mark the occasion.
