6 Argentine driver drivers resulted in a big crowd, swollen by the decision not to charge any admission.
400,000 where believed to be inside the Buenos Aires Autodrome, and such was the crush that in many places the security fences were broken and spectators poured onto the perimeter of the circuit itself.
On the 32nd lap someone decided to cross the track in front of Nino Farina who swerved to avoid them but skidded into the crowd on the edge of the tarmac killing 10 - many thought the actual number was much higher - more than three dozen more were injured.
