Jakarta - Ten people, all but one of
them teenagers, were killed in a stampede at a rock concert in
Indonesia's Central Java province, police said on Wednesday.
The crush occurred on Tuesday evening when thousands of fans
jostled to leave the stadium at the end of the concert by
popular band Ungu in the town of Pekalongan.
"It was too crowded and there were not enough exit doors,"
said Ngadino, a police officer from the district.
Similar deaths from stampedes have happened in recent years
at concerts in Indonesia.
