BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Police say three young women have died in a stampede at a Hungarian nightclub.
Budapest police spokeswoman Katalin Fanni Horvath says thousands of people were caught up in the stampede and the victims may have been trampled by the rushing crowd.
Police have opened an investigation into the organizers and, along with medical investigators, are working to determine the cause of the deaths. Police have denied reports that the victims were stabbed.
The incident occurred late Saturday at the West-Balkan nightclub in downtown Budapest, housed inside a communist-era shopping mall and office complex. Witnesses told Hungarian media on Sunday that the three-floor disco was overcrowded.

Posted on January 17, 2011 at 1:24pmMy prayers are for the families of the girls who died.
I wonder what caused the stampede. The overcrowding… but what started the stampede? This does occur in this country also.

Posted on January 16, 2011 at 8:16pmBut the question in the first post still hasn’t been answered… why is this a story on the Blaze? – or for that matter, why is it international news? A lot more people died on CA highways, today, so body count can’t be the explanation for why this story is on the Blaze. Just askin’…

This story is what we in the business call “link bait.” It’s a sensational story whose sole purpose is to generate traffic.
