BBC now reporting "at least 339" people dead. Wow... how does that even get that far out of control? And I didn't get the impression it was an event on the scale of, say, the Hajj where similar things took place before
And oh wow:
"Panic started and at least 50 people jumped in the river. People tried to climb on to the bridge, grabbing and pulling [electric] cables which came loose and electrical shock caused more deaths."
