A grant new year celebration has been arranged in Shanghai on lastnight of 2014. The New Year's revelers jammed along Shanghai's historic riverfront stampeded about a half hour before midnight Wednesday, killing at least 36 people and injuring 47 others, Chinese media reported.
City officials said they had not yet determined what triggered the stampede about 11:35 p.m. in Chen Yi Square on the Bund, the state-run Xinhua News Agency reported early Thursday. Many of the dead and injured were students.
A brief report on Xinhua's English-language site said celebrations "went astray" and "a stampede resulted in casualties."
A witness said people had scrambled to grab coupons resembling U.S. dollar bills that were being thrown from a third-floor window near the Bund.
It is the worst disaster in Shanghai in recent years.
