At least 35 people have been killed and 48 injured (受伤的) at the Bund (外滩) in Shanghai as crowds (人群) gathered to ring in the New Year. At 11:35 p.m. on December, the 31st, the crush (挤压) at the Bund began suddenly. For many people, there was nowhere to run away. Mr. Yang was trapped on the steps in Chen Yi Square.

movement. If you fall, get up quickly. If you can’t get up because you are injured, get someone to pull you back up.

◆If you fall and cannot get up, keep moving by crawling in the same direction of the crowd,

or if that is not possible. then cover your head with your arms and curl yourself up (卷起
