Zephyr_Nova Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 This is truly horrible. But even more horrible is that while reading about it "Love Hurts" by Nazareth popped into my head, and its still there... but only the chorus, because that's the only bit I know.

Guest abusivegeorge Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 The police made a barrier at the entrance to the love parade pit, as they feared it was becoming overcrowded, forcing the HUGE flow of people entering the pit backwards into the tunnel, into the oncoming cue of people still moving forward to try and get in. Panic ensued and a fuck load of people became trapped in the tunnel. Well done police A+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghOsty Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Idk much about this fest if it's been done other years, but that looks like a horribly planned venue to hold such a large event, with that many people looks like it'd be a miserable time even without the panic. "But the question is whether the police really did understand how to control that many people." Obviously not... way to go on that one She said the entire event had been fenced off and police removed the barrier after people were being crushed up against it." Yeah, definitely a poorly planned venue space. Sounds miserable even before the panic... Shame what should have been a great experience went so wrong.

Yeah, definitely a poorly planned venue space. Sounds miserable even before the panic... Shame what should have been a great experience went so wrong. It's a festival that ranges dramatically in size from year to year. Sometimes a few hundred thousand turn up and sometimes over a million, so they never actually know what size crowd they are going to have to manage. This year though, was the largest it's ever been, and the event takes place every year, but it takes place in a different location every year, so this was a new venue.

marian Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 i'm too lazy to elaborate my 2cts to this because i just got back from working all night. all i can say is that i'm so glad i didn't get out of the train in duisburg and none of my friends got hurt. oh & the organisers should be locked up and raped. more on that later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solo Strike Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Horrendous Pictures of this sort of thing eg Hillsborough etc completely freak me out, it must be utterly terrifying to be caught up in the middle of that. Tragic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamovich Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 :/ According to Rainer Schaller, 2010's organizer of the Love Parade, the event will no longer take place in the future due to this event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goDel Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 this is pretty sick. UNNAMED FEMALE PARTICIPANT I was lucky. I found a hole to escape through but two women were killed right next to me. UNIDENTIFIED YOUNG MAN Both my legs were trapped - then, thank God, somebody helped me up, then I helped another up... and then, kind of by luck, we were pushed back out of the crowd. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-10752314 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
