     Nov. 9 is the tenth anniversary of the Carrefour super mall.  To celebrate the big day, the mall brought out series of sales-offs. On the second day of its celebration, people flooded into the shopping mall. The whole market was overly clogged. And the situation went bad enough as to lead to injuries.

        On Nov. 10, people hearing about the sales gathered toward the Carrefour Mall of Shapinba district, early in the morning, waiting for its opening. Around 8:00 A.M, the long-waiting crowd rushed into the mall as the door opened. During the pushes and rush, several people got hurt.      In the sales promotion, the rap oil, which is about 57 yuan usually, was sold at a surprisingly low price– only 39.9 yuan. People formed a long queue before the mall opend. Moreover, the mall was opend 5 minutes before its regular opening time because of the impulse of the crazy comsumers.        Tragically, the sales promotion led to 3 death and 31 injured, with 24 still in hospital till now.
