/^t/Jo Brand from The Independent points at a surprising phenomenon of huge gatherings at main city squares during New Year's Eve. People come there to celebrate this unspeakably happy event which is the turn of the year. By doing so they risk being crushed by the mob, burnt by fireworks or hit in the head by an empty bottle of champaigne. Anyway they come and cause a lot of trouble for police forces and cleaning brigades. Also doctors on duty have the opportunity to see some extraordinary cases during that night. Fireworks and alcohol are responsible for the majority of indispositions. Happy New Year!
