For those who didn't here's a quick fill-in on the ravage: At aprox 18:30 a short but intense storm broke loose destroying several stages and flooding the entire festival-site. The sky litterly was GREEN!!!! (not pitch black but green, like all hell broke loose on earth) According to the latest updates there are 5 deceased and aprox 100 heavily injured. Festival has also been canceled. Here are a few pictures of the chaos that had happend: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=265946750098132&set=pu.265937993432341&type=1&theater That is just a support group on facebook, but you can click through the pictures. I shall see if i can update this post with some video's that have been made to show the wreckage. But the good news is: your favourite pain in the ass is OK!

I saw the sail going down through all the rain on it and I said to her: run as fast as you can we need to get away from under here. And we where like 5 meters further and it collapsed and a mass panic occured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm telling you if there shall be an apocalypse, I think I saw a preview of it. Totally wild and crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
