Tragedy at German techno music festival

August 9th, 2010 Alan

It has been reported that more than 19 people lost their lives following a stampede which happened at Love Parade in Duisburg, with many partygoers oblivious to what was happening around them.

As well as the people who died, there were an estimated 80 injured at the annual German event.

It is thought that the carnage occurred due to panicking within the large crowds of revellers in a tunnel which lead towards the festival.

Rescue workers moved in quickly to help the victims but for some it was already too late.

Witnesses at the scene described the moment when nobody could do anything for the people who were trampled.

Love Parade has become one of the largest techno festivals in Europe, with an expected turnout of 1.5 million dance music lovers.
