Logan, QUEENSLAND—The 2015 holiday season has been a grim one with Santa Claus confirmed dead, and many civilians injured from Boxing Day sales disasters.
On the early hours of December 26, 2015, shoppers camped outside the Logan Hyperdome Shopping Centre in anticipation of Boxing Day sales.
Reports say the line extended into the Pacific Motorway (M1), causing major traffic delays and multiple pile-ups.
Due to the overwhelming number of civilians, riot control and army personnel were on stand-by to keep the fat and sweaty crowd at bay.
From security camera footage taken at 0900-hours, as soon as the centre doors opened, an estimated 15,000 shoppers barged into the riot police flank, killing many of their own and injuring at least one law enforcement officer.
Witnesses say some bargain hunters even hijacked an army tank, using it to barge into the shopping plaza, crushing many Hyperdome staff members in the process.
Despite liberal use of tear gas, water cannons and tazers, the shoppers overwhelmed the police and found easy entry into the Boxing Day sales.
"I... I s-saw... w-who did this... irresponsibly selfish and insane shoppers (ISIS)... please bring them to justice," Marcus Whiteworth, a stampede survivor, told The Bokchoy with his dying breath.
