Three dead after stampede at Budapest nightclub

4 hours 10 mins ago

Three young women have been killed as they tried to escape overcrowding in one of Budapest's most popular nightclubs, The West Balkan.

The club is spread over several floors and is located next to the Western Railway station.

Witnesses told how the venue became jammed with thousands of party revellers and they were caught up in a huge stampede.

"There was a huge crowd. It took us half an hour to get out. The music was stopped. They just sent everyone out," one clubber said.

A police spokesperson said how they are still investigating why so many people were let into the club and what had caused the panic.

According to statements, there were no other casualties caught up in the disaster

If people go to a club and it is that crowded, why don't they leave? Why don't they use common sense?

Each to there own ( its all in the way people see venues as the places 'to be seen in ' i guess ....

I guess they waited outside in the queue for ages and paid for their (probably quite pricy) tickets, so they wanna be rewarded for their efforts... dunno In most cases you can´t tell from the outside, how crowded the place really is...

I think if there are laws about how many people you can allow inside your club, then the authorities should be monitoring it more. It seems they don't and so the clubs regularly allow too many people in. The authorities need to enforce the laws about how many can be inside a club.

the sad thing is that the club owners dont care as long as the money comes in
