Rampage at Pukkelpop

Post by NilsFG » Thu Aug 18, 2011 6:13 pm

Maybe some of you have heard of Pukkelpop. I believe it's the 2nd biggest festival in Belgium.
2 hours ago, a storm hit Belgium, and it hit the festival hard. Hail, rain, thunder,...

2 tents collapsed. 1 completely, 1 partially. One tower with speakers also collapsed. Main entrance has collapsed too, and many trees fell down too.
Many, many people injured, and it's believed that there are 6 deaths although the red cross hasn't confirmed it yet (they say that there's at least 1 death).

I'm glad I didn't go this year! Bit worried though, a good friend of me is over there and I can't reach her...

Text message I sent to my friend still hasn't arrived. I hope she's ok and it's just the cell phone network that's acting up...

According to the offical announcement from the pkp organisation the cell phone network has been restored.
Text message still didn't reach my friend, I hope her cell phone is just off, still fucking worried.

Situation over there is a bit surreal.

shit gets real at about 1.26

also: this was at 6 in the afternoon...looks more like 6 at night

several friends of mine were there and got out ok (except for the bruising/wounding from the hail). Some people i vaguely know pulled out a guy from underneath a crushed foodstand, but they were too late :?

I can't believe 5 people died there. :(
