I never thought I would see something like that in Germany.
Absolutely tragic.

Now 18 dead, 100 injured.

Massive accusations start to get fired at the organisers, they chose a place with just one entrance, that was big enough for only 350 thousand - although they expected more than 1 million from beginning on. Estimations say in the end there have been 2 million. Warnings to the police that the situation in the entrance tunnel became critical, were dismissed with pointing repsonsibility for that back to the organisers. Duisburg has a population of 490 thousand

Murderous dilletantism:

what incompetent a#####e considered it to be a good idea to make this 300m-long tunnel the only entry/exit option through which the 1 million people the planners expected had to press in and out? In the end there should have been close to 2 million people visiting the event - all of them moving through this :

I am no expert for panic research, but even me as a layman immediately can identify the problem and the risk from photos of the same place before the event, when there were almost no people around. But the panic analyst of the organising committee claims they could not have forseen that...? They received warnings by people who escaped the tunnel hours before the disaster, and local residents called the police telling them that if they try to bring so many people through that bottleneck, that this necessarily must end in a disaster sooner or later.

Such murderous incompetence and intentional naivety makes me very angry. Those forming and willing these decisions should be sued for man slaughter.

Wie kann man nur so saublöd sein. Some people should be forbidden to procreate.

Last official numbers: 19 dead, 340 physically injured, scores of hundreds traumatised to differing degrees.

Must agree here Sky.....incompetence of the highest order/degree.

The best chance of not seeing a repeat is to identify those responsible and make an example of them

I also oppose the dirty comments that were quoted in the other thread

Yet some of them mirror Skys regular comments.

If it quacks like a duck and waddles like a duck.......
So is it reading from that old book again?

1) The other thread was about the nasty things people write. This thread is about the tragedy itself.

2) Is there some valid reason for you to turn this into an insult/attack fest on another member? It makes you sound like the people that other thread was talking about.

3) Since you already brought it up, can you show specific examples of "Sky's regular comments" that are like the posts on that thread, or is this just random trolling?
