    A witness surnamed Yin recalled what she saw during the stampede to Xinhua saying that people hooted and shouted during the whole thing. According to Yin, someone shouted a few times on a platform full of people. She said that at some point the crowd began to move and people started to push each other. "Layers upon layers" of people began to fall on top of each other, Yin recalled.

    "As soon as the crowd stirred, I rushed to protect the two children in front of me. Later I turned around for my son, but he had been pushed off the platform," Yin told Xinhua. "When he was rescued, his head was covered in his coat; there was bruise on his forehead and two deep-creased scars in his neck. Blood came out from his mouth and nose. Black footprints were all over his clothes."

    36 killed, 47 injured in New Year stampede in Shanghai

    SHANGHAI - At least 36 people were killed and 47 others injured in a stampede at Shanghai's Bund area around midnight when huge crowds of revelers gathered to celebrate the new year. 36 killed, 47 injured in New Year stampede in Shanghai

    The tragedy happened at 11:35 pm on the Chenyi Square of Huangpu District, around the Bund, a busy waterfront area in central Shanghai.

    Shanghai authorities are working actively to rescue and aid the wounded, said the official website of the Information Office of Shanghai Municipality. What caused the stampede is still under investigation.

    One week before the new year, Shanghai authorities canceled the city's annual New Year's Eve 3D laser display, which attracted nearly 300,000 people last year, due to crowd-control issues, CCTV news was quoted as saying.

    A toned-down version of the celebration was held at several locations in the city instead.
