10 Crushed at Indonesia Concert

At least ten people were killed yesterday when they were crushed in a stampede of fans at a punk rock concert in Indonesia. The victims, mostly teenagers, died as a mob of concertgoers tried to leave the jam-packed venue as others were still streaming in, and the crowd panicked, according to some reports. Other witnesses said drunk fans triggered the panic as they stormed through the crowd.

"Those who were drunk went amok, kicking everything," one witness told Reuters. "Those in the middle of the crowd were crushed and trampled." The small performance space in the city of Bandung in West Java, 100 miles east of Jakarta, held twice as many people as the 700 legally permitted, according to the BBC. (More concert stories.)
