Chaos

Stadium

A stadium built for the Independence day festivities thirty years earlier and very much in disrepair, many stands and structures still in the same temporary state as when they were erected. All the ingredients for a disaster were there: too many people, an old stadium, closed exits and a stampede. Nine people died and 78 were injured.
