Deadly games show stampede kills 88, injures 280

A stampede broke out early today outside a stadium near Manila where thousands had lined up to watch a popular game show, killing at least 88 people and injuring 280 others, officials said.

About 30,000 people were waiting to get inside the stadium for the program “Wowowee” when the mayhem erupted, said Vicente Eusebio, the mayor of Pasig, the Manila suburb where the stampede occurred.
