On July 24, 2010, 21 people died and over 500 were injured in a crush during the Love Parade music festival in Duisburg, Germany. The festival was held at the city's former goods station, which had limited access through a narrow tunnel. An estimated 400,000 visitors attended, but the tunnel was only 5 meters wide, leading to overcrowding and panic. The organizers of the event, including the city mayor, event planners, and founder of the Love Parade, all faced accusations of responsibility for the deaths. Investigations were conducted to determine the causes and those responsible. Memorials were erected in Duisburg for the victims of the tragic event.
