JLS crush investigation

(Tuesday November 17, 2009 05:30 AM)

A full investigation is to be launched into a crush that injured 60 people at a JLS gig this weekend.

The event at Millennium Point in Birmingham had to be abandoned when 20,000 people turned-up to see the "X-Factor" finalists.

Organisers had expected only 5,000 to attend, with Calvin Harris, Tinchy Stryder, Little Boots, Natalie Imbruglia and Alexandra Burke also on the bill.

However, four fans needed hospital treatment when barriers gave way and a safety expert has been called in to investigate proceedings.

Birmingham City Council have since insisted all precautionary measures were taken, while those behind the Christmas event have come underfire.
