Football stadium collapse in Indonesia claims scores of lives - BBC News

One of the deadliest stadium tragedies in history occurred at an Indonesian football game, where at least 125 people perished in a crush.

In the aftermath of the host team Arema FC's defeat to ferocious opponents at the packed stadium late on Saturday in Malang, East Java, some 180 people also sustained injuries.

After police used tear gas to disperse people who had entered the pitch, the crush occurred.

It was "a horrible day for those involved in football and a tragedy beyond comprehension," according to Fifa President Gianni Infantino.
