Credit: Reuters/Kirsten Neumann By Tom Kaeckenhoff DUISBURG | Sat Jul 24, 2010 4:16pm EDT DUISBURG Germany (Reuters) - A stampede killed at least 15 people after mass panic broke out in a tunnel at a Love Parade techno music festival in Germany on Saturday. Overcrowding at the entrance tunnel to a former freight rail station where the event was being held sparked the stampede and then a crush among the mainly young festival-goers. The festival, which drew about 1.4 million people, was not immediately canceled because authorities feared that could spark a second panic and more chaos at the crowded venue. "There were piles of injured on the ground, some being resuscitated, others dead and covered with sheets," 18-year-old Love Parade participant Isabel Schloesser told Reuters. "It was way too full in the afternoon, everybody wanted to get in," she said after leaving the rubble-strewn site where echoes of a throbbing bass beat could still be heard more than three hours after the crush. Rescue work was hampered by the huge crowds attending one of Europe's biggest electronic music events in fine weather, officials said. People had come from all around Europe to the Love Parade with most in the 18-25 age bracket. Police in the industrial Ruhr city of Duisburg in western Germany had earlier tried to close the tunnel entrance. "It's a horror situation especially because rescuers cannot get through to those injured," ZDF TV reporter Thomas Muenten said earlier, adding: "The people literally trampled each other on the way into this tunnel." "To prevent further chaos the event wasn't canceled. The people are being asked to leave the area quietly," he added. SUFFERING, PAIN FOR REVELLERS "There was no escape," one Love Parade participant called Marius told the Bild.de website. "People were pressed into the wall. I was afraid I'd die." One woman raver told Bild: "I was lucky. I found a hole to escape through but two women were killed right next to me." German Chancellor Angel Merkel sent a message of condolence to the relatives of the victims, and President Christian Wulff expressed sympathy over the tragic accident. "It is terrible that such a catastrophe brought death, suffering, and pain to a peaceful festival full of happy young people from many countries," he said in a statement. At first the music blared out and people danced on, unaware of the unfolding tragedy nearby. Police said the death toll was 15, nine women and six men, while the Duisburg city fire department said at least 80 more were injured. There were no further details immediately available about the dead. Police tried to resuscitate people with CPR and the kiss of life inside the tunnel. Some media reported at least 100 had been injured in the crush. Ambulances rushed to pick up victims and police set up an emergency first aid station near the entrance, where live images from WDR television showed thousands of revelers streaming out of the festival and toward the city's main train station. Images from the venue showed the music still playing as rescue helicopters buzzed overhead, and WDR reported mobile phone networks had failed because they were overloaded. "The emergency workers had problems getting to the area due to the massive crowds," said another fire department spokesman from Duisburg, declining to be named. The annual event, now with a backdrop of electronic dance music such as House, Trance and Techno, flamboyant outfits and energetic dance moves, was first held in Berlin in 1989 as an event to promote peace through music. Internationally, similar Love Parades have taken place in Zurich, San Francisco, Mexico City, Acapulco, Vienna, Cape Town, Tel Aviv, Sydney, Santiago, Rio de Janeiro, Oslo and Budapest.

No, drugs don’t hurt anyone…I was just being closed minded when I said that. No_One_Special Report As Abusive Jul 24, 2010 1:30pm EDT The only event with more than a million people I would attend would be a Tea Party where I know I would be safe. No drugs and alchohol! Norwegianbear Report As Abusive Jul 24, 2010 1:57pm EDT Hmm, I’ve been to plenty of raves including Mayday and have never had any problems. Considering in excess of 500,000 people attend this event means there are going to be injuries of some sort. I do believe the headline says “stampede” and nothing about drugs anywhere.

The persons responsible are either dead, repented, or too old to matter. No matter what you think of those involved in this event, it is probable that none of them were adults at the time of the war. Or do you believe that people are so interchangable that you think it’s moral for Person A to pay for Person B’s sins? That is about as reprehensible as Naziism itself. People should be treated according to their own behavior, not someone else’s. –USA CatCarl Report As Abusive Jul 24, 2010 2:56pm EDT this is just like the clowns at EDC in LA rushing the field. bryanborenstein Report As Abusive Jul 24, 2010 2:58pm EDT No USA, you’re wrong. Many black leaders in the US are advocating for white people to pay reparations to black people for slavery, and that ended 150 years ago. Wilie Report As Abusive Jul 24, 2010 3:05pm EDT This happened because modern man follows like sheep/cattle. Over 1 million people at this affair is just stupid. How bored are we – looking for thrills and drugs – no law no order. Humans are stupid Materially we have more but we must be losing our brain cells. Monkeys, move over.
