At least 36 people have been killed and another 42 people have been injured in a stampede that broke out during a New Year Eve celebration in downtown Shanghai, which may have been caused by the crowd rushing to grab fake money thrown from the balcony of a building．
Survivors described the stampede as "horrible and hellish．"
A woman said she covered two kids in front of her with her arms in the chaos．Her son followed her．Dirty shoe prints covered her son's clothes when the 12 year old boy came to safety．
"The crowd was in a panic．We stood in the crowd, feeling squeezed and almost out of breath," a boy said．"Some yelled for help, but the noise was too loud．"
Other survivors said police rushed to the scene and tried to pull out people who were stuck, but without much success．
The local authorities said that one of the victims was a female student from the Shanghai based Fudan University．The student, surnamed Du from Yunnan Province, was fatally injured during the incident and died later in the hospital．
"The chaos lasted several minutes, and then some of the injured were seen being carried out of the crowd," Yu said．
Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday demanded an immediate investigation into the cause of the stampede and urged prevention of such incidents in the future．
The city has set up a working team for rescue operations to deal with the aftermath．
Fatal incidents like this one were not rare in China, the world's most populous country．Stampedes in the past were mainly due to safety measures．
In September 2014, six students were killed in a stampede at a primary school in Yunnan Province after a stairway was blocked．In January 2014, a mosque(清真寺) stampede killed 14 people and injured another 10 in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region．In 2004, a stampede on a bridge in suburban Beijing killed 37 during a local lantern festival．
