A stampede broke out as thousands of people jostled each other to get free clothes and utensils

It's like "oboma money." They heard the word "free."

All those kids are dead so mom could get a free frying pan? How sad is that?

“Thirty-seven children have been killed in a stampede at a temple in India.”

“A stampede broke out as thousands of people jostled each other to get free clothes and utensils being distributed during a religious ceremony.”

When a society values “things” more than childrens lives, they will never rise above where they are in life, nor will they deserve to. Paying attention America?

It seems that for countless decades in India it's either a religious ceremony, a monstrous train wreck or an overloaded ferry sinking that thins the herd.

Do you think they'll EVER learn to avoid crowds?

I guess the 27 women who died were just an afterthought for the writer of the article?

I don't think many of us can imagine the extreme poverty these people must endure. When you're giving away free things to the poor, there's going to be a stampede. There should be a better way of distributing such things. Anyone have any ideas?

I remember a stampede in a bar in the United States (Chicago) which killed over 50 people... it wasn’t that long ago, either - around 5 years ago, or so.
