This is shocking news according to @bbc At least 174 people have died in a stampede at an Indonesian football match, in one of the world's worst stadium disasters.
It happened after police tear-gassed supporters who invaded the pitch.
The chief security minister said spectators exceeded the stadium's 38,000 capacity by abound 4,000 people.
The fans invaded the pitch after the final whistle.
Police then fired tear gas, leading to a crowd stampede and cases of suffocation.
What a disaster… crowd management is not the police best forte. Their training and tools are designed to control protesters or civil uprising not sport fans in closed venues.
