It doesn't matter where in the world you go, people get stupid in large groups.

How people can be so emotional over a game is crazy and shameful.

The stadium is just few miles from where I live and later in the morning I found out there are five people in my neighborhood were the victims, one of the kid who is still in the elementary school lost both of his parents in the tragedy, and later that day I saw dozen of ambulances drove the streets across Malang. So heartbreaking, so many innocent life just taken away. My deepest condolences to the families affected. 🥀

Prayers and my condolences to my brothers in Indonesia...💖 Philippines 🇵🇭

Your not a fan if you behave this way in sport. Its about respect and continuity of competition. Tragic, my heart goes to the families affected.

No one should die over a damn game. May all those who lost their lives rest in peace. My thoughts are with all affected by these tragedy.💔💔

I love football and Indonesia. My condolences are with families who lost their loved ones 😢.

all the love to our neighbours in Indonesia from Australia, this is a tragedy that should have never happened.

In one clip, it said “the crowd just wanted to ask the losing team why they lost”. These people are all insane

the fans are known to be barbaric when it comes to sports. they are not in it to support the game but simply because they want to start violence. theyre proud of it. what an embarassment

This is so sad, we are praying for our brothers and sisters in Indonesia. Much love from Philippines

INDONESIA, I AM TRUELY SORRY FOR YOUR LOST, AND OUR PRAYERS GOES OUT TO ALL THE FAMILIES. GOD'S BLESSING BE WITH YOU ALL.🙏🙏❤❤🫂🫂.LOVE FROM CAMBODIA.

My thoughts and prayers are with the victims of the Indonesian football tragedy, big love from Malaysia 🇲🇾🖤🇮🇩

What a horrible scene. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families.

stay strong Indonesia 🇮🇩❤️ from 🇲🇾

If you think that the Heysel and Hillsborough disasters are bad enough, this is one of the worst.

I live in that city and have heard many first account story from the surviving victims (neighbors and acquaintances). Sure some of the fans got overly emotional over the match and run towards the field. But they got subdued quickly. The police fearing that the situation got out of hand quickly, shot the tear gas at the sitting audience. Causing mass panic and people rushing out to get away from the shooting range. What's worse the doors were locked, with only few that are opened. Most victims ( young ones and women) are dying to asphyxiation or gets crushed since the entry/departure doors gets blocked by people rushing to get out. The police were also shooting the tear gas outside of the stadium, causing riot breaks and people burning the police vehicles. The doctors were dispatched hours after the incident (74 doctors), since they couldn't get permission from the police immediately. So far, there are 174 people passed away since they couldn't get medical treatments in time. Many are still injured and hospitalized in 3 different hospitals.

My thoughts and prayers are with all the families affected by this tragedy may all those who lost their lives rest in peace 😞

Sad. Indonesians are one of nicest people. Hope the injured ones get healed.

those people doesnt deserve to die there,they just want to watch a soccer match...this is so sad,rest in peace for all of the 127 dead people :( From Selangor FC fans in Malaysia

I am a lover of Indonesian football, often watching live at the stadium but avoiding watching derby matches. Truly a sad tragedy. They watch football with their families on Saturdays for entertainment, not expecting it to end in grief. Things like this often happen, but only condolences and hope will not happen again without concrete steps from the relevant parties to overcome this problem.

During the game Malaysia vs Indonesia, they have to carry the Malaysian player with the military armour vehicle

This is sad moment 😢 my condolences to their families 🙏 rest in peace to everyone that lost their lives

This is why Indonesia are not in my "country to visit" list Just imagine if this were international soccer match, don't even bother letting indo fans to visit

Deepest condolences to those families who faced losses🙏🙏🙏Sportive fans should probably stop acting violently if they are truly supporting their players

My infinite sadness and deepest condolences to all victims whose lost their life in football matches chaos. I look forward in the future no more similar tragic incident.

Praying for Indonesia 🇮🇩🙏😢

Thoughts and prayers with all victims families 🙏

Mis condolencias desde la Argentina, donde también el fútbol se vive con DEMASIADA pasión. El fútbol es un JUEGO. Por favor BASTA de sobredimensionarlo. Tengo 30 años y soy un muchacho que no le gusta el fútbol mucho, quizás por ello no entienda esa pasión. Condolences. 🇦🇷🇮🇩

Not sure if we should be just blaming football fans , I expect using tear gas in a space with 42 thousand fans wasn't good . By the sounds of it the fans in the stand were trying to get Away

It's really heartbreaking know lot of innocent soul have lost, my condolences for all family that have lost they love one🙏

I couldn't even tell how embarrased iam right now.. and it's so sad because our soccer is finally getting an attention from people around the world but not because we make a achievement but because a tragic disaster, what a shame. But still my heart goes to the people that become the victim of this tragedy hope they rest in peace.

I’m very sorry for this heartbreaking tragedy. Condolences to families. RIP.

We always blame politicians for crimes but peoples themselves r most dangerous enemy of people

En México pasó lo mismo, en Querétaro hubo una contienda entre los hinchas contrarios, terminando todo en un desastre y aún no se sabe la cantidad exacta de muertos.

At this point Indonesian fans will be stereotyped as barbaric and vile

The worst tragedy happening at the greatest sport, so sad...can't imagine the pain especially knowing the lost children RIP.

as Indonesian, this is so embarrassing.. football riots might be happen at any big rivaling club in our premier league, but never been so shocking like this.. even at that game, no rival fans from Persebaya allowed to come to the stadium, to prevent any classes between supporters.. and knowing some of the victims was child, teenagers, and women who got suffocated and/or stamped by panicking crowd.. make it even beyond tragic.. may all the victims rest in peace, and justice comes to whoever guys who responsible for this tragedy..

There was a history of violence in indonesia's football and this time we saw it again.. May there be no more of such incidents in the future.my prayer for the departed souls and speedy recovery of those injured

this happened in my city. i rmb asking my dad to watch the match but he declined. later in the morning we were shocked to watch the news. no one should be dead over a game.

The Republic of the Philippines, Indonesia's best friend are joined the sincerest condolences to the families of the 130+ souls lost in Jawa Timur and we encourage to all is to stop fan violence not only football but also other sports and the most importantly value is Sportsmanship Indonesia especially Jawa Timur, Keep Strong and we hope to become Sport Friendly with a big heart 🇵🇭❤️🇮🇩 Philippines and Indonesia:Friends Together, Love Together, We are Brothers Condolence from the Republic of the Philippines, a basketball base country 🥀🥀

Indonesia always have these football incidents, just like what used to happen in England and Europe. Indonesian Football fans are just too wild and just too passionate for their football teams.

i pray for Indonesian people "what happened there?" theyre Indonesian

Indonesian football is not okay, please help pray for the victims of the fans🥺🥀🥀🥀

Didn't know Indonesians were this passionate about football.

This is unimaginable and insane to witness. My condolences to the victims and loved ones affected.

I don't think throwing tear gas is a good decision in that chaos. For me it just adds up more panick to the audiences who's not even aware if the fight is that big

a heartbreaking and shameful tragedy, we'll never forget the tragedy 10/1/22. RIP 💐

That hundreds of stadium fans should run down to the field "out of disappointment" to ask the team members why they lost, indicates a lack of intelligence or reason, as well as a lack of secure barriers to keep the team safe from the audience.

What on earth... They really brought the quote ''sports is the closest to war" to life

127 people Died?!?! HOLY JULIUS CAESAR!!! THIS IS GREAT ARENA!!! THIS IS SPARTA!!!

Thank you so much for the wikipedia context disclaimer, explaining what the BBC is...

I prayer with Indonesia for thia tragedy 🙏

It's just a game folks. That said tear gassing an enraged crowd wasn't the best approach either.

Least violent football match in Indonesia

They’re going thru what the UK went thru in football decades ago. What a tragedy, RIP 🙏🏻

oh jeez. My prayers to everyone involved 🙏

I'm an indonesian. This kind of things happened alot in here but there is not alot of victims. But what i think is the one that kills is the tear gasses and it makes them asphyxiated. And alot of the cops in Indonesia is untrained. It's not because of the training but they just pay to skip training and that also makes it corrupt.

My thoughts and prayers are with the victims of the Indonesian football tragedy,big love from Indonesian East Jakarta

People need to get more civilised. I feel the pain wen my team loses a match but this is just a sport and humanity has to prevail. Respect your opponent no matter the rivalry because you need them to compete. You cannot compete alone.

This is truly saddening. My prayer goes along with the families affected 🤲

sports fans are crazy, at this point kpop stans are better.

Recent update : 150 DEAD in VAIN. , This kind of incident is not the first time, yet it is the deadliest. As an Indonesian, I feel so ashamed of this tragedy :(. We're not mature enough for sports. RIP to all the victims.

Such a tragedy. May they find peace.

Horrible, bless you and your families, hope everyone who is injured receive the right treatment and recover quickly. Thoughts are with you

Well, knowing Indonesian mentally. I'm not surprise

This people is no fun to hang around. No sportsmanship. Those involved in fight should be interrogated, along with the management.

I am so shock with this accident My home is near Malang is about 1 hour from malang to my home

I mean there is a vice video about Indonesia football like a few years back. It is quite common in Indonesian football.I am surprised that this accident is the only one reported worldwide.

I feel so lucky that I cancel my tickets last minute because the match schedule clash with my night class schedule. I've been an Arema fans since elementary school and often come to the stadium to watch the match in person. Now I attend a college in Malang which is where Arema originated, and the stadium is only 25km away from my dorm. One of my neighbor is died in this tragedy and I swear, I'll never come to any match again 🎗️

Because of this incident, many parents forbid their children to watch football.

So sorry for these folks and their families.

My condolences to the family this is so sad 😭

I'm Indonesian and very regret this thing happened. All Indonesian football supporters always be too .. too fanatic since many years ago but this is the biggest riot tragedy ever in our country and maybe in the world. Almost 130 people died including children and 188 ppl got injured and maybe some of them also died now. Our police department doing deep investigation now bcs most of people died bcs the tear gas killed them. Not by fighting with others. They could not breathe in the crowded when they tried to come out of stadium . Their family are doing the protest abt their lost. Pray for us! Hope this thing won't happen again!

This is now worse than the Hillsborough disaster. Terrible. RIP.

"tragedy beyond comprehension" 👌 This is absolutely insanity

Condolence sa mga namatayan. Love from The Philippines.

Thankz family world 🙏😥 From aremania, Malang

My parents told me about this disaster which located in the place Where my aunt lives and I’m terrified that it happened, R.i.p family’s who lost their childrens or their own lives🕊

Ini adalah sebuah tragedi . Kisahnya akan tenggelam seiring waktu,ketika semua normal kembali,tapi kita harus ingat akan di masa depan akan banyak ibu yang akan berkata jangan pergi ke stadion nanti kalian mati. Karena memori ini tidak akan terlupakan sepanjang sejarah sepak bola. Semoga tenang kawan-kawan ku Aremania dari kami, The Jak Mania Jakarta selalu mendoakan kalian.🥀🥀🥀🤲🤲🤲

I gave up attending sporting events here in the States because of the drunken, foul-mouthed louts and their brawls. We havent got to this stage yet, but I fear we are heading this way.

moral of the story: dont be a sore loser

Oh no! Love to all these people and their families!

My deepest condolences to all the victims and their families in that incident.

I would like to express my sincerest condolences and solidarity with the families of the victims and all of the people affected. 🙏 from a Thai person.

So many deadly tragedies happened this week all over the world..😪💕🙏

Crazy why the cops are throwing tear gas. And the stadium doors are closed. There must be a lot of panicked people wanting to get out and die from suffocation and being trampled. Pray for Indonesia

Indonesia 🇮🇩 is not a police state like China. - Why did the police carry tear gas into the stadium? This is a violation of FIFA safety regulations.

This has happened in so many soccer games throughout history it’s insane.. Never EVER follow a panicked crowd towards the exits because this is exactly how you get crushed to death by the sheer force of hundreds of people all pushing in the same direction. Or you could just avoid large crowds like this in general, not worth the risk in my opinion.

Wow 😳 what a tragedy! Imagine going to a game and not coming home

as an indonesian this truly makes me sad. my condolences to the families of those who passed

So heartbreaking 🥀

Football fans showing their intelligence once more

The actual stampede that led to the deaths was caused by the police firing tear gas into the seated area whilst the exits were locked. This caused the major panic that sent people stampeding everywhere. They treated everyone like rioters in a street uprising. The police escalated the situation and now we have scores of deaths instead of arrests of the relatively few troublesome fans.

Must have been one hell of a game.

this is a common occurance in Malang. my friend studied in Malang, She drove pass the Malang FC crowd on the street on her way home, her car got viciously attacked by what She described like massive zombie invasion from all direction her car got wrecked by Malang supporters... Why? because her car's license plate was from Surabaya. the Police didnt do anything about it at all when She filed for report. She was an innocent struggling college student just few blocks from her flat, to cover the cost of such damage was brutal. Ive never seen such wrecked car, It was worse than high speed car crash. they wrecked it from every angle

My thoughts and prayers are with those in Indonesia 🇮🇩 😢

It's just "FOOTBALL GAME BRO" 🇮🇳🇮🇳♥️

God bless the families of those souls who lost their lives. Mourning the loss of a loved one who went to a football match and never returned is beyond comprehensible.

It is very sad to see that many innocent people die for no reason. Had it been due to natural calamities or sickness, yes definitely we can say these people are helpless. But now what to say about this incident.
