At the opening of a branch of a supermarket in the Beyşehir district of Konya, a stampede occurred due to the sale of cheap televisions. Moments were captured on camera where a man repeatedly shouted, "My foot is being crushed," but no one seemed to care.
The opening of a branch of a chain supermarket operating in the center of Konya, which offers televisions with a market value of approximately 6 thousand lira for sale at 1750 lira, attracted citizens to gather in front of the supermarket from the early hours of the morning.
THEY TRAMPLED EACH OTHER
Citizens formed long queues before the opening, and as the televisions were brought to the front of the supermarket, they practically raced against each other. Among the crowd, who made intense efforts to grab the products from the boxes, there were moments of scuffles. During the chaos, some citizens were at risk of being trampled, and warnings were made about people fainting.
45 TELEVISIONS SOLD OUT QUICKLY
Market staff, who experienced difficult moments, struggled to control the crowd. The moments when citizens fought with each other to not drop the boxes in order to buy the televisions revealed the chaos of the bargain. The 45 televisions offered for sale sold out quickly, while those who managed to buy the product formed long queues in front of the cash register.
