New Delhi: The October 6 air show, held to commemorate the Indian Air Force’s 92nd anniversary turned into a nightmare at Chennai’s Marina Beach, when a crowd of more than 12 lakh people surged toward exits, leaving five dead and many hospitalised. It was the first such event in Chennai in over two decades. The spectacle of military aviation ended in chaos as the sheer size of the crowd overwhelmed both organisers and local authorities.
Five deaths had been confirmed and 40 people were in hospitals by late Sunday evening. “Over 150 people have received first aid in various parts of the city due to the dehydration and stress they faced. One death was reported on the beach, another near Napier Bridge. Other victims died on their way back home at different places. It was not a stampede situation at one particular place,” an officer said, The Indian Express reported.
