'''2008 Bandung Human Stampede''' was a [[human stampede]] and mass hysteria that occurred on 9 February 2008 at New Majestic Building in [[Bandung]] (at that time called Asia African Cultural Center or AACC). This event occurred during the album launching concert of Bandung metal music group, [[Beside]].
==Background==
Bandung metal band Beside was holding a concert of their first album launch entitled Against Ourselves at AACC building. The concert started at 19:00 (local time). According to many sources, the building where the concert took place was capable to accommodate 500 people.
==Incident==
The number of attendants of the concert exceeded the capacity of the building where the concert was taking place. There were estimated 800 to 1000 people watching the concert. Apart from the attendants in the building, there were others who were outside of the building.<ref>http://bit.ly/2S7Ik9q> When the concert concluded at 20:30, the panic started as the attendants leaving the bulding. As the building unable to accommodate so many attendants, the air circulation was greatly decreased and the attendants were suffering from asphyxiation, dehydration and jostling. The lack of medical staffs caused the impacted attendants to receive no proper medical attention.<ref>http://bit.ly/2S7Ik9q> It was reported that there were a number of people laying on the floor and did not receive medical attention.
==Aftermath==
This mass hysteria claimed 11 lives and left hundred attendants injured.<ref>http://bit.ly/2D4VklX> About 3 people were arrested and declared as suspect on charges of negligence which caused the death and injuries of others<ref>http://bit.ly/2SbrmaA>. Among the deceased, there was one female victim.<ref>http://bit.ly/2D4Vlq1>
The AACC building was temporary closed due to the incident. In 2010, the building was renovated and renamed to New Majestic.<ref>http://bit.ly/2S4erqK>
==Memorial==
In 2014, a monument of memorial was erected at Taman Musik Centrum by Arif Prasetya, Head of Bandung City Cemetery and Gardening Service. The names of 11 people killed in the incident were written on the monument.<ref>http://bit.ly/2D4rFtm>
