SHANGHAI, Jan 1 (AFP): The New Year's stampede on Shanghai's historic waterfront killed at least 35 people and injured dozens more, with witnesses saying revellers had scrambled for fake money thrown from a building.
The disaster happened in a crowded square shortly before midnight late on Wednesday as people packed the Bund area to usher in 2015.
A photo on the website of the Shanghai Daily newspaper showed what appeared to be dead and injured people lying on the ground with crowds still in the background.
