19 dead. A million people packed in behind fences with thousands funneled through a tunnel. It beggars belief.

It does , DK .

When I was en board , the Ship's home port was Haren Ems , but the " Office " was in Duisburg . I've always had soft spot for Schalke 04 , cause of it . Been there a LOT .

When I heard of this gig , I thought , " Boss for the area . " Then , I heard it was free an' thought , " Hmmmmm " .

Seems I was right .

Awful. Shocking stuff. One entrance for over a million people?

I believe it's usually held in Berlin. Duisburg: population half a million. That'll be a good idea then...getting another 1 million in.

They had a Love Parade in Leeds about 9 years ago. That was meant to take place in Leeds city centre. They moved it to a big park instead due to safety concerns. I went and it was gash to be fair. People being beaten up left, right & centre. Where was the love??
