Deadly Storm Strikes Belgium's Pukkelpop Festival (18 August 2011)

for more threads like this one : http://www.documentingreality.com/fo...me-line-45276/

At least two people have been killed at the Pukkelpop music festival in Belgium after a sudden storm caused two stages to collapse, reports say.

Television pictures from the scene, about 65km (40 miles) east of Brussels, showed fallen stage rigging and people scrambling for cover.

Initial reports in the Belgian media said four people had been killed.

About 60,000 people were believed to be at the event, one of Europe's largest outdoor festivals.

The mayor of the town of Hasselt, where Pukkelpop is held, said 40 people were injured, AP news agency reported.

The TV images showed rain-soaked festival-goers bracing against strong winds. Fallen gantries and rigging could be seen on the ground.

Belgian media reported that trees were uprooted by the violent storm and smashed into the stage, bringing it down.

Some festival-goers said on the Twitter website that a tornado had struck.

The BBC's Matthew Cole, in Brussels, said the storms swept across Belgium in the early evening, turning the sky dark.

Five people were killed last week at a festival in the US state of Indiana when a stage collapsed in high winds.

I'm Dutch. I feel sorry for the people at Pukkelpop right now...
I hope everyone's okay, I know plenty of people who are there right now. It's such a mess out there :(

Re: Deadly Storm Strikes Belgium's Pukkelpop Festival (18 August 2011)

just like in the U.S they were warned about the oncoming weather but still sum assholes festival organizers decided to go along with the festival.
They learned nothing from what happened a week ago in Indiana.

Re: Deadly Storm Strikes Belgium's Pukkelpop Festival (18 August 2011)

Fuck it good riddance. Their export to world is fucking chocolate, paedophiles, and Poirot. In the Belgian congo they used line up the people 10 in a row to save on bullets when they shot them. When you are in Belgium and you are looking at their palacies in marble remember that they were paid in the blood of Africans, and lots of them. Thats why I hate the bad press we British get. Compared to all the other colonialists we were way much better. Fuck em they deserve it.

Basically just don't let any Belgians organise any parties for you.

Re: Deadly Storm Strikes Belgium's Pukkelpop Festival (18 August 2011)

rich you obviously dont keep a close eye on the news considering the high number of pedophiles that have been busted in the uk. few years ago that pedo who was living in that family's house under a 12 year old's bed in tameside. but in the last year key figures of the biggest online pedo ring ever uncovered were busted in the uk. so was the man with the biggest collection of pedo pictures on his pc ever. and not to forget gary glitter. go england


dont forget that pakistan. one of the two biggest sources of islamic extremism was also created by the uk with their colonisation.


and the uk's most recent donation to the world.... chavs...
