yah it's crazy. i think i read it had somewhere around 1 million people at the event. just crazy. you put a crowd that size together and things can go wrong very quickly.

at least 10 people died...very sad....I wouldn't be surprised if it brings an end to this amazing festival.... though, it is not the first time that people get crushed during events in Europe (soccer games!!!)

Wasnt the love parade supposed to end a few years ago?

"Love Parade" death toll rises to 19

The worst part was that the party still went on while this was going down.

Do you really think it would be a good idea to stop the music and let the weight of the situation set in on a mass of 1.5 mil people? I think it was a wise call.

Yes indeed a very wise call. Being caught in these masses is a frigging nightmare.

you guys have a point. i guess i was just thinking of the performers or audience who were oblivious to what was going on. Like no one backstage got wind of what was happening.

SVENNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

RIP LOVE PARADE
