The Love Parade is one of Europe's largest electronic music events...I'm not feelin' the love.
I have a general rule to avoid the type of people who would just as soon crush me as wait their turn in line.
I've been to some VERY crowded Christian events (concerts, Promise Keepers, Stand in the Gap (Washington DC)). I never once feared that the people would kill me to get where they wanted to go.
No one snowflake ever felt responsible for an avalanche.

“Love Parade” is not a family friendly event. It use to be held in Berlin, but got moved out of that city. I've seen some video tape. A good amount of public sex, and public urination and deification in front of cheering crowds. I think there is also a minimum of three nose rings and two lip rings required per participant.

There’s a clear lesson to be learned here: Nothing good can ever come of playing techno music.

Awful. I avoid crowds ever since a bad experience at Mardi Gras. The crowd was so close I was lifted right off my feet and moved. Fortunately, no one was injured.

Some years ago a couple of friends and I were at the (carnival) dance of the Marktfrauen at the Viktualienmarkt in Munich, and all of a sudden the crowd around me got *very dense*... only a few yards to the edge of things but damn, that was not comfortable! Took a few minutes to get out of there, and that was a fairly open space. Don't even want to imagine what it was like in that tunnel in Duisburg today. Heard people were stuck in there for hours. *shudder*

This reminds me of the time I almost got crushed to death at a Neil Diamond concert. I didn't even want to go to the Neil Diamond concert but my wife is a big fan so I sucked it up and went. As we were walking through the concession areas on our way to our seats, the PA system started playing "Longfellow Serenade."
Panicked fans, thinking they were missing the start of the concert (it was actually still almost an hour away) started screaming and hollering and rushing for the entrances to the arena. My wife and I were literally lifted off our feet for a brief moment as we squeezed into one of the entrances. Once the hysterical maniacs got into the arena and saw that the concert hadn't actually begun, things calmed down pretty quickly, but was that one scary moment!

Very sad. Horrible feeling to be stuck and pressed in a crowd. The deaths are meaningless.

Which is another reason why I prefer Iron Maiden crowds. Generally older, nicer people.

They have a strange interpretation of “love” in Germany, if that’s the result.

Not to trivialize the event (and I enjoyed Berlin when I was there last summer) but didn’t like over 60 people die in a train crash in West Bengal? It barely made the news. I guess 16 Germans > 60 Indians?
