Thirty hurt at U.S. rock concert as Eminem sings
About 30 people were injured Saturday when the audience at a Washington D.C. rock concert pressed forward as rap singer Eminem took the stage, officials said.


Fire Department spokesman Alan Etter said most of the injuries at RFK Stadium two miles east of the Capitol were not life-threatening but one man had a heart attack and was revived on the scene.

Concert-goers interviewed on local television described being jostled, squeezed and crushed as fans in the standing-only "mosh pit" surged toward the stage.

"I was literally crushing someone," said one young man. Another said, "Everybody was on the floor" with other people being pushed forward and stepping on them.

The concert was suspended for 10 minutes.
