Hundreds of Juventus soccer fans watching the Champions League final in one of Turin's main squares were injured when loud bangs created a panic and mayhem, The Telegraph reports.
Thousands of fans had gathered to watch the Champions League final in front of a giant screen in San Carlo Square. During the second half of the match, which local club Juventus went on to lose 1-4 to Real Madrid, video cameras show a sudden rush in the middle of the crowd that caused a surge that flung people against barriers.
Many fans then began to run out of the center of the square, screaming in fear. The panic may been started by the explosion of a loud firecracker that was mistaken for a bomb
