Germany's annual music event, The Love Parade which started in 1989 was the site of stampede that killed at least 15 people [possibly more] and causing injury to many more. Sources did not state what actual caused the stampede but speculate it begin by "mass panic" at the entrance tunnel into the festival. The concert is attended by hundreds of thousands of visitors from all over the world. Emergency crews and medics had trouble reaching the site to apply help to victims and those who perished. Even with the chaos created, the concert continued. The crowd was so thick there was NO PLACE TO GO! The origin of this multi thousand visited musical fair was to promote peace and unity around the world. More details of this story to be continued. The music fest features "new age" or "techo-music" singers and musicians.
