      Angry survivors demanded answers on Sunday after a terrible stampede(踩踏) at"Love Parade
2010", a music festival in Germany, killed 19 people and left hundreds hurt.
     The German Chancellor Angela Merkel expressed her shock over Saturday's tragedy in the western
city of Duisburg."This was a very sad day, "Merkel said."We must do everything we can to ensure that
something like this never happens again."
     Witnesses said that people pushed into the narrow tunnel, the only entrance to the Love Parade
festival, from both sides until it was dangerously overcrowded.The panic began as festivalgoers began
to lose consciousness as they were crushed against the walls and each other.The dead included eight
foreigners, from Australia, Italy, the Netherlands, China, Bosnia and Spain.More than 340 people
were injured.
     After the panic, a lot of emergency vehicles, including helicopters, could be seen parked on the
highway leading to the festival site, carrying away the injured people.The festival itself, however, went
on.Police  were afraid that ending the music altogether could cause further unrest among the crowd.
      "The event was a real mess, "Patrick Guenter, a 22yearold baker, said."Although the festival was
full, they kept letting people in, " he added."It seems the organisers didn't plan the route.The road was
very narrow, and no one knew what was going on."said Taggart BowenGaddy,20, an American from
Philadelphia.
     Officials said 4,000 police officers and 1,000 security guards provided security for the event, which
attracted up to 1.4 million people.The authorities had only given organisers permission for 250,000
people to attend.
     "I warned one year ago that Duisburg was not a suitable place for the Love Parade.The city is too
small and narrow for such events.It is a pity that..." German police union chief Rainer Wendt told the
Bild.
     The chief organiser, Rainer Schaller, said the popular event would never be held again, "out of
respect for the victims and their families".
     First held in Berlin in 1989 just months before the fall of the Wall, the Love Parade is one of the
biggest music festivals in Europe.It left Berlin from 2007 onwards after disagreements with the city
authorities over security and has been held in several other German cities in recent years.
