Nyamiha stampede

Nyamiha Stampede
Entrance to the Niamiha metro station in 2005
Date	30 May 1999
Location	Minsk, Belarus
Deaths	53

The Nyamiha stampede took place at Nyamiha metro station in Minsk, Belarus. On May 30, 1999, a sudden thunderstorm caused a number of young people to race for shelter during an open-air concert nearby. The stampede was funneled into the blocked underpass of the metro station and many people (mostly young women) were killed in the ensuing crush when they started slipping on the wet pavement, falling, and trampling each other.^[1]^[2]^[3]

The official death toll was 53.

Belarus had a three-day mourning period after the event.
