My sympathies to the family and friends of all those who lost their lives or were injured. I have to say that the venue itself seemed hugely inappropriate for such a massive event.

The event was held on an enclosed parade ground instead of it's usual open-air location, and it could only be accessed via a tunnel. As the crush built up, people panicked and tried to escape but they were surrounde by high walls. 19 dead from around the world and around 350 injuries.

why would you create a single-entry event for a festival of this magnitude? The organizers were negligent and the police plan in-place was obviously not sufficient to control the flow of traffic with too many unobserved blind-areas where people could try to get around the barricades. You have to plan your crowd flow controls in-depth to every single detail when organizing something on this scale.. love parade no more

Hope this is a sign, that although events of this scale attract mass participation, it should be the smaller more intimate parties that must return...Nonetheless, it is sad...

Some good points made above, many of which I'm sure the bereaved families will want to put to the inquest. Although the organizers bear prime responsibility, serious questions must also be asked of local officials who rubber-stamped it. There's no way it was suitable even for the 250,000 originally expected.
