Disaster strikes at Pukkelpop

So, what should be a great time for music in Belgium and The Netherlands with two major festivals this weekend has already turned into something of a downer. Whereas the people coming to Lowlands a day early for the full camping experience (...) probably are pretty soaking wet by now, disaster has struck at the Pukkelpop festival where the weather has taken at least one casualty. At the time of writing everything is still pretty much up in the air, but it seems that at least one person has died. Some news outlets talk about six people who saw their lives slip away. There are also at least a few people who have been seriously injured.

The next question also is whether or not the festival will continu. Bands had to stop playing, there is quite a bit of material damage, not to mention that what I typed in the previous paragraph. It is a serious downer to what for some should've been the best part of their vacation period. Hope the ones injured get well and get well soon, and hope that not much more harm has been done by that moody bitch Mother Nature. My thoughts go out to all involved.
