Cooking Oil Stampede Kills 3 People
You have heard of people doing outrageous things to get a hold of limited items during the holidays like the old Beanie Babies or the popular Wii gaming system. But what if you saw a crowd of people stampeding to get some cooking oil…
Well recently in China, that is just what happened.
A local store in Chongqing held a promotion selling cheap cooking oil, resulting in a mass stampede in which three people were trampled to death.
China has since banned limited-time promotions in stores to avoid another incident from occuring.
