15 people (9 women, 6 men) have been killed in a stampede inside a tunnel crowded with techno music fans during the Love Parade which took place today in Duisburg (GER). Dozens more were injured.
Thousands of other partygoers kept partying at the event in Duisburg, near Duesseldorf, unaware of the deadly chaos that started when police tried to block thousands more people from entering the already-jammed parade grounds around 5PM today. Victims were crushed in the large tunnel leading to the event site. Duisburg city officials decided at a crisis meeting to let the parade go on to prevent more panic and another stampede.
