Unreal. I can't even imagine how the families of those kids must feel right now.
You'd think after this many years of major concerts around the world and similar things happening that there'd be safeguards in place to prevent this kind of thing.

Yeah - you'd think, but sadly, nothing is fail safe...there's always a possibility...From what I've managed to catch through the news, almost everything possible was in place to minimise such an occurance; however, most regretably, it still wasn't enough. Hopefully organisers will be able to learn something through this though, it may be unfortunate for those who died, but I just hope they don't completelty go to waste...
Don't worry too much about me, ignore me long enough and I'll go away.

A horrible accident has taken place on the
Roskilde Festival in Denmark.
During Pearl Jam's concert last night( 30/6 )
8 people died, as a reaction of the pressure
of 50,000 people.

Man, I heard that on the news this morning before I got outta bed....First time in the 30 year history of the festival...They said they couldn't "shead any light onto why it happen yet, but investingation are continuing"...
I'm sure everyone's hearts go out to the families and friends of those unfortunate few.
