Three Die in Mexico World Cup Celebrations
At least four people died from asphyxiation as around a million fans crowded Mexico City streets to celebrate the national team's first World Cup knockout win in 40 years.
Authorities urged responsibility after the deaths of a 44-year-old man, a 19-year-old man, and a 48-year-old woman.
The massive gathering also triggered an artificial earthquake detected by seismic sensors.
The tragedy has prompted calls for better crowd management at future celebrations.
