19 Killed At Music Festival

Nineteen people were killed and more than 340 injured at the annual Love Parade music festival in the German city of Duisburg on Saturday, the result of a stampede that occurred beneath an overpass at the entrance of the festival grounds. According to The New York Times, police had closed off the festival grounds on Saturday evening, citing overcrowding, but failed to close off the entrance to a 200-meter long tunnel that led to the site of the concert. There were some 1.4 million people inside the Love Parade at the time.
