Media reports on dozens of dead in a mass crush at the funeral of General Suleimani

Seeing General Kassem Suleimani’s last trip to Iran led to a mass crush. According to the most conservative estimates, mourning rallies in various cities of Iran gathered about 5 million people.

The German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung comes out with material that a crush in the crowd led to numerous casualties. According to these reports, a total of about 30 people died, more than two hundred were injured of varying severity.

Iran’s state television confirms the stampede, but has not yet reported the exact number of deaths.

Against this background, there are messages on Twitter that shots led to the stampede. The reports, which are not currently confirmed, say that the allegedly unknown fired several shots into the air, leading to panic in a huge crowd of people.

During the funeral of General Suleymani, as well as another Iranian officer, Hossein Purdshafari, who also died in Iraq, the crowd chanted the slogans "Death to America!"

General Suleymani’s funeral is taking place in Kerman, where today was declared a day off due to the massive influx of people who wished to say goodbye to the commander of the Al-Quds IRGC forces.

Broadcast RT from Kerman:

A video from Kerman appeared on the network: ambulance officers are trying to reanimate people right on the street (it says 35 dead and 48 injured):

Have you ever had to be in a serious crush?
I somehow had to. Not deadly, of course, but pressed so as not to breathe.
The crowd - it is such a crowd ... Inertial.

This is a stranger and alien to people who have grown up in a completely different civilization mentality. Talking about them from the point of view of the usual rationalism is useless, a completely different logic, approach to life, etc.

There are reports that shots led to the stampede. The reports, which are not yet confirmed, say that the allegedly unknown few shots in the air, leading to panic in a huge crowd of people.

I was afraid of various kinds of provocations at the funeral of Kassem Suleimani in Iran. And it was necessary for the Iranian authorities to foresee provocations of this kind, for 5 million people arrived in the city to carry it on their last journey. And some, for sure, had weapons with them.

It is a pity that after all, the Iranian authorities did not save their people from accidents due to a similar provocation of an unknown person with his shots in the air.

Remember, when Stalin was buried, up to 2 million people who escorted from the people, all arriving and arriving from other cities, sincerely wanting to lead the leader on his last journey, also accumulated in Moscow. The authorities did not count on such a crowding of people and the distribution of human flows was not planned correctly. Then, too, there was a mass stampede with a tragic outcome - and there were dead and wounded.

Bright memory to all of them!
Our sincere condolences to the people of Iran!

[Shurik70]

At the expense of the children, whom the parents brought to say goodbye to Great General (and now he will definitely become just that in Iran) - arguing is useless.
Opinions here are diametrically opposed.
And both sides will be right. In my own way. It’s impossible to convince an opponent.
My respect to the General.

[mikh-korsakov]

Nikolay! From logic it is known - comparison is not proof. But d.uratskaya fantasy visited me. Suppose - from its impudence and impunity, the US Congress declared the Russian Federation the state sponsor of terrorism. Some time later, our Minister for Business Shoigu went to Kazakhstan. It happened ... After the event, the State Department claims that the United States helped democracy in Kazakhstan, because it disrupted Shoigu's insidious plans, so everything was done right. I have two questions, first, whether there will be a stampede at the funeral. The second question: it is clear that Zakharova will pronounce an angry rebuke and stigmatize, the Foreign Ministry will speak out that the answer will follow, but so as not to harm herself. How will it end? What I presented is not a provocation, I just read the notes of the forum users and began to compare - how they escorted Stalin, how the Persians escorted their general. What about us?

[Normal]

Do not distort both, the person just noted that at such an event, where a mass gathering of people is supposed, taking small children, madness, or, as the comrade put it above, the diagnosis.

[Aviator_]

By the way, we have had "democracy" for 30 years already. Why is the data on the number of those killed at Stalin's funeral not published? Is it still secret? Probably not as much as was thrown in during Khrushchev's times.

[AllBiBek]

I had to. And in the role of one of those who synchronized the crowd, in rhythm shouting the slogan "No-da-vi! No-da-vi!" A technique known for more than half a century and has been successfully used all over the world for half a century. Output? There was SUCH a crowd that the forces calculated for such actions were not enough.

[Nyrobsky]

Quote: Victor_B

Dementia.

This is not dementia, but a desire to say goodbye to a person who has earned the respect of these people. Imagine if they are ready to die in the stampede at the farewell ceremony by dozens, how many are ready to die in order to take revenge on those who killed him. It is pointless to scare them with sanctions.

In my dementia, this is with Trump of ours, if only some undetected sniper banged Suleymani, I think there wouldn’t be such hustle, and when another state located on another continent considers itself entitled to kill a third person in the country. This causes popular outrage.
And the answer was not so ghostly. They struck at an air base in Iraq, 8 ballistic missiles, it’s good that without nuclear filling.

at events it’s being calculated now. since the number of people there is known specifically and even more so they are in rooms where it is a whole system. and with the right approach, it’s easy to manage. but in such a stream it’s a lottery. they managed to get a crush a few days ago in Moscow. stupidly errors on the organization and arrived.

Quote: carstorm 11

especially since they are indoors

Major music festivals take place in the open. And the exact number of people there can hardly be calculated. There is still debate about how many real people were at the Monsters of Rock festival in Tushino in the 1991th. The figure varies from 500k to 1,5 million people.
By the way, one of the reasons why Woodstock has ceased to be held (in addition to financial) is the inability to provide security for the audience.

And the people ran into the transition ... Here you have a bunch of corpses!
I got into a crush in the pavilion of the VDNH metro station. On the street there is a downpour and people do not want to go outside and abut as they can, and from below the escalator is serving people well ...

Local (or Iranian) television also speaks of the victims. About a dozen so far. It's just that I have a friend there on a long business trip, unsubscribing in the process, what is there and how. The flags of jihad there have already been raised not only above all the cathedral mosques (this was on the third of January), they already hang above every second. The people really loved this man, he is the national hero # 1 there.

Here is another:
General for General: American Commander Eliminated
As a result of a missile attack, American commander General Stephen Townsend was killed.

Yesterday, we reported that fighters of the al-Shabab extremist group attacked the Manda Bay airfield, which is part of the US Simba naval base located on the Kenyan coast. During the attack, two aircraft were destroyed, of which one was an electronic intelligence belonging to the United States and one Kenyan, as well as two combat helicopters of the US Air Force.

According to Iranian sources, three US military personnel were killed during the shelling, including General Stephen Townsend, commander of American forces in Africa. The Pentagon has confirmed the fact of missile strikes at the Manda Bay air base, as well as the loss of 3 units of aircraft and 5 vehicles. However, Washington refused to comment on the death of the American commander.

Iranian sources claim that it was the presence of General Stephen Townsend at the military base that prompted the attack by jihadists.

And why is the USA a former superpower? For to give the highest rewards for the genocide of the peaceful people and carpet bombing is their practice. If you are talking about Ramzan, then the Star of the Hero was given to him not because he killed the first Russian at 16, but because he stopped that war. On the part of his people.
