Station stampede kills 22

-

A stampede on a crowded pedestrian bridge connecting two railway stations in Mumbai killed 22 people and injured 27 yesterday.

When falling concrete hit the bridge railing, people thought the bridge would collapse and surged to escape, a Mumbai police official said.

People had been crowding under the canopy covering the bridge to escape heavy rains.
