At lest 22 people are dead and another 130 injured after a stampede broke out before a Ivory Coast World Cup Qualifying soccer match.
The overcrowded stadium was a death trap as fans came to watch their home team play their first World Cup Qualifying match. Too many people who did not have tickets pushed their way through a barrier. Police responded by throwing tear gas into the crowd which is what caused the stampede. Officials have stated that security was ill-equipped for the mass of people who came to the stadium. After things settled down the game resumed as if nothing had happened.
Watch a video of the news broadcast at Reuters.
