Black Nazarene devotee killed


"One person was killed and 35 injured Monday when a stampede broke out in a religious procession in predominantly Roman Catholic Philippines...

...Thousands of devotees flock to the Quiapo Church in downtown Manila every January 9 to celebrate the feast of the Black Nazarene.

Devotees believe the statue has miraculous powers to heal the sick and make wishes come true...."

I wonder if the guy that died ever got his wish...
