1987 Shanghai stampede : ウィキペディア英語版 | 1987 Shanghai stampede On December 10, 1987, a stampede occurred at the Lujiazui ferry terminal in Shanghai, China.〔(江西气象局:陆家嘴轮渡站惨祸 )〕 The main cause for the stampede was a severe fog that continued for hours and caused visibility of only 30 meters. This suspended the ferry service, leading to the station gathering lots of people who were anxious to leave; as soon as the ferry service was restored the crowd hurried to board the ferry, causing a stampede. The accident led to 17 (some say 66) deaths, 2 seriously injured and over 70 slightly injured.〔(上海地方志--上海通志--大事记2 )〕 ==The accident== There were no bridges or tunnels available to cross the Huangpu River in 1987, and daily commute relied highly on Route 21, which was developed by the Shanghai Ferry Company. Lujiazui was heavily crowded, and Route 21 was the busiest route of the company. Early in the morning, the river was covered by a fog with a visibility of less than 30 metres, according to Shanghai Central Meteorological Observatory. In accordance with the relevant regulations, all the ships should cease cross-river operations when the visibility falls under 100 metres. By 9:00 AM, the fog began to scatter and the ferry was to commence operation. An estimated 30,000-40,000 passengers (many with bicycles) had queued for the ferry. The passengers became anxious from the waiting and began to push towards the second ferry, after the first had departed. People and bicycles began to fall into the river from the pushing and the scene quickly turned chaotic. The station was closed 5 minutes later in order to disperse the crowd and commence rescue operations. The disaster killed 17 people, severely injured 2 and injured over 70 people. It would be the deadliest stampede to occur in Shanghai until the stampede in 2014. Another casualty report stated that 66 were killed, 2 severely injured and over 20 slightly injured.
