Football journalist Tim Vickery told Sky News there were people trying to jump from bridges onto the bus carrying Argentina's national team as millions gathered in the capital.
An open-air bus parade for Argentina's World Cup heroes had to be called off as the celebrations descended into chaos.and his fellow teammates instead boarded helicopters for a flyover of the capital Buenos Aires, which the government billed as an aerial parade.
The players were unable to reach the central Obelisk monument in Buenos Aires as planned because of the crowd size, estimated at four million people by local media citing police sources.The Argentine president had declared a national holiday on Tuesday so the country could celebrate the World Cup victory.
Celebrating fans took over highways, avenues and the access routes into the capital as temperatures climbed to 30C. "This is madness, it's indescribable," said Brian Andreassi, 23, as he walked downtown wearing the team's jersey."There are no words."
