News of the deaths at the Love Parade candidly made me sad. I pass my condolences to Chancellor Merkel, her blighter Germans and e’eryone else touched by the disaster. — Paul, US

Unfortunately the rap mustiness lie with organizers, council and constabulary and whoever gestural off on an entry via a immense burrow. Surely the gang could sustain been channelled far more easy via fence done thither than just rental them into the hale breadth of it - which meant multitude had nowhere to go. If the ingress was really at the former end of the burrow, this wouldn’t let happened erstwhile the locus filled up and the bunch could sustain been stopped-up ahead entry. Such a cataclysm at an awing issue meant to observe euphony and peacefulness.

Clearly the government are to incrimination for this catastrophe. It is they who suffer the expertness, the aggregate authorisation and sound obligation to settle if a fete locale is good for the world to see. This is not inside the expertness of commercial-grade fete organizers. The concluding conclusion is with metropolis and patrol experts. There is already sizable certify that the government were more concerned in corralling the herd into a belittled country, the common State controller nut outlook, than provision for herd overrun and pinch exits and entrances. It is a discredit that parallels the unforgivable mistakes at Duesseldorf Airport’s ardour where the unbending covering of rules rather of green sentiency prevented the airdrome flak serve from attention the firing and the subsequent going of biography. No uncertainty the inculpation shall be pushed on to others as it was aft Duesseldorf, a poor welder, thither as I retrieve. I address with about authorization as the UK is riddled with the like over-organized incompetency. I promise heads paradiddle ended this tragedy, resignations should be called for. I was personally nigher to this disaster than was prosperous as my German son was at the fete but, upon eyesight the likely for cataclysm granted the multitude overcrowding, distinct to farewell as gratefully did his friends. In closedown, I do not compliments this to be revengeful of those mired, but trust with prize to all those citizenry who befuddled their lives that we can read from this disaster to preclude its return. — J. North, Great Britain

I’m a big fan of Germany, but if an investigating is not launched into how a fete of 1 trillion in an out-of-doors distance that was held in Berlin was transferred to a backwater that has know of largely hellenic euphony events and has a universe of just 500,000 in a captive spa that holds just 500,000 so Germany bequeath be deservedly a riant strain. Germany inevitably to severely inquiry the metropolis regime that commissioned this set up. Words break me. It’s not what we look of Germany at all. To me it seems a catastrophe that was wait to materialize. — Fergal Barry via Facebook

It’s the organizers demerit. In 10 years the Heavy Metal result “Wacken” testament proceeds post in Wacken. Let’s promise they bequeath mastermind it lots meliorate. — Markus , via Facebook from Germany

This is goodness that the investigating has started and I am indisputable that shortly person leave be formally hangdog. But this is but the government parting. We all pauperism to ask ourselves: Who testament institute cover the mass who are stagnant now? I would comparable to transmit my appealingness to all organizers for such events, delight takings this showcase in severely and do not let it hap again. — Mesar via Facebook

I remember it’s the fracture of the organizers and the masses as advantageously. They shouldn’t birth ill-used a burrow for rental thousands of multitude done it, and citizenry do not cognize when to closure push when they are moving forrader in enceinte groups. People get cornered in a shut quad, scratch panicking, and thence, the resultant. Wacken is practically ameliorate organised because it’s at an out-of-doors distance, if something happens multitude can plainly jump ended the fences, and they’re off. Unlike a burrow where they are cornered. — Lena, The Netherlands
