Stampede at the Love Parade 2010: 21 killed, many injured

[Kirsten]

What was meant to be a peaceful music event ended in a tragedy: 19 people lost their lives at the Love Parade in Duisburg/Germany on Saturday when the place became too overcrowded, they were literally run over. About 350 visitors were injured.

The Love Parade has a long tradition in the German techno culture, but yesterday the organizer announced that from now on, it will never take place again.
