15 killed in mass panic at Germany's Love Parade


Damn! How could that happen? They should have kept the Love Parade in Berlin! That couldn't happen in our Love Parade area!

The less techno fans, the better.

Well, at least they all died with love in their hearts. That's more than you can say about most of us.

Plus a bucket load of semen nestling in their rectums.

Lucky bastards.

Not as lucky as your going to be when we play another sweaty round of "Naked Flashlight Tag Burgler".

I was in Germany just a few weeks ago! No way!

Everyone was so friendly when I was there too!

 

[PlasmaTwa2]

German love sounds painful.

Do you think this could only happen to unfriendly people?



But seriously it's a tragedy that this could happen in Germany! We have so many safety regulations for everything!

 

[Facetious]

Another report says that 1.4 Million people in approximate total were gathered at this event, does anybody understand the logistics involved with managing 1.4 million people? . . drunken and "X"ed (ecstacyed) out people that is?

I'm sorry, those are not safe conditions! Somebody really choked hard in order to allow this to go down.

Latest update:

19 killed and 349 injured!!!

I still cannot believe this could happen right here in Germany. We normally have so much safe instructions and paragraphs, but it all failed completely because of dumbness.

It IS a tragedy. I never felt like going to the Love Parade, though a couple of my friends did over the years.

It is partly the music, but being in a gigantic mass of tripped-out kids who act like lunatics is just not for me.

Looking back over the years, the city of Berlin, where it took place so many times, and now other cities, it is hardly possib,e to make the Love Parade safe.

It is a big business event, but the cities have to take the chance of something like this happening, or people dropping off lanterns or getting under the wheels of all those trucks. Not to mention overdosed visitors.

It had to happen sometime, but I feel sad that there are people who can joke about this tragedy.

I heard this festival will never take place again because of whats
happened.

RIP to all the victims :angels:
