Indonesia stadium stampede: A ‘domino effect’ of tragic events

Sam Gilang rushed to the exit of the Indonesian football stadium with thousands of other terrified spectators as police fired tear gas and hit fans with batons, creating a stampede that claimed at least 125 lives.”People were pushing each other and … many were trampled on their way to the exit gate,” the 22-year-old survivor told AFP.Spectators — including women and children — pushed and stepped on one another, scrambling through the packed terrace gasping for air, to reach any exit at Kanjuruhan stadium in the city of Malang, East Java.
