A mob of drunk people were trying to force their way into a full venue through narrow tunnel. People from behind kept pushing despite that the people at the front of the line had no where to go. As a result, the ones in the middle in the tunnel got crushed.

I read that a guy was climbing the wall and fell backward onto a crowd of people at the entrance of the tunnel. That must of triggered a panic and people just started moving.

The guy on the right is trippin' balls and looks like something imaginary just startled him. The guy being carried is just massively fucked up.
Organizers are defending their concept, saying that an unexpected situation occurred, with people climbing frames and stuff and disobeying security orders. Yeah, I guess with 1.5 Mio. ravers who are mostly drunk or high that is totally unexpected... if you're a clueless moron.

Just got the information from the official press conference. There will no more loveparades in the future. I think this is the right decision. Please tell me your thoughts about this.
Of course this is sad, but IMO there's no need to cancel the whole event because of this.

Tiesto. And I want him to stay alive for a while so he can think about all the wrong he's done.

Wahhhh, sucks you shits cannot appreciate the irony of human beings being trampled to death at an event called Love Parade. Yes, it's sad. Yes, everyone becomes a number at some point. Life is a comedy and death is the ultimate punchline.
I guess it's really not all that funny that people died, but some of your fucking reactions are of comedic value. WHAT TYYYYPPICALLLL RAVERS YOU ALL ARE, AMIRITE? SO EMOTIONAL, GOSH!
BEEN THAT WAY FOR YEARS NOW INIIT??

Traditionally, in an internet forum thread involving a tragic event, at some point a user will throw in some wit and cynicism and then courageously defend his tactlessness to gain some extra virtual coolness points. Both boring and pathetic.
