Panic At Love Parade, Duisburg, Germany

At the 2010 Love Parade in Duisburg, Germany, the number of people attending reached 1.4 million, when the original expectation was around 800,000. At least 19 people were killed, and hundreds injured, in an overcrowded tunnel leading into the festival. Safety experts and a fire service investigator had previously warned that the site was not suitable for the numbers expected to attend. Organizer and CEO Rainer Schaller said they will not continue the festival in the future.
