A huge crowd made up mostly of teenage girls was attending a beer festival and rock concert.
Authorities say many in the crowd of twenty five thousand were under the influence of alcohol when it started raining.
As people flocked to an underground passage for shelter, people began slipping on the wet stairs of the tunnel.
They were trampled as people outside kept pushing to get in.
As the situation got out of control, police officers tried to intervene to save those being crushed.
Two officers were killed in the stampede.
Reports tell of hundreds of casualties being transported to hospitals near the site of the accident.
One 19 year old survivor says he escaped by crawling between the legs of others.

New babies are screened for many potential problems. But that's not true for one of the most common of all birth defects...a hearing problem.
That's because there has not been a very reliable test to check for hearing loss.
