At least 73 people have been killed in clashes between rival fans following a football match in the Egyptian city of Port Said, state television reports.

The deaths occurred as supporters invaded the pitch after a game between top-tier clubs Masry and al-Ahly on Wednesday.

Terrible tragedy
Any event with a large number of people in one area always has potential for fatalities

I was surprised this was just mentioned late in our local news as a passing story 

If it had been in the UK or USA or NZ it would have dominated the news

It was lead story on ABC, Dazz.  One of the reasons I don't watch commercial stations news broadcasts. They are full of fluffy dogs and Kardashians, no real news.
