At least 35 people were killed and 43 injured in a stampede during New Year's Eve celebrations in Shanghai,China
The deaths occurred in the eastern Chinese city's famous Bund, the riverside area where tens of thousands of people had gathered.
The stampede began after 11:35 p.m. local time in Chen Yi Square and the exact cause was unclear, but some local news media reported that the release of fliers resembling cash from a nearby building set off a crush of people
About 11:50 p.m., people in a nearby building began dropping green pieces of paper that looked like U.S. 100-dollar bills, which set off a rush, Eastday.com quoted
Images posted online showed huge crowds filling the pedestrian areas along the Huangpu River for a midnight light show
