Pukkelpop tree falls on tent

Just saw a clip on the news filmed by an amateur who was standing in a tent during the Pukkelpopdrama (one of the worst storms, 33-50 l in 20 min)

Then go to : "GEKNAKTE BOOM VALT OP BOMVOLLE TENT"


That is just sick

In total there are 5 death casualties, 10 severely wounded and about 60 light wounded

Those people allowed to go behind the stage and on the material trucks. That's a great moment of fraternity.
Belgian fraternity!
We need more of this.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT I VE JUST LOOKED AT THE SECOND VIDEO. OMG.

Now i understand my friends who just described it as "Horror and horror".
I still don't think you understand if you weren't there..
Parent
Please, don't act like a WWII veteran.
"Kids, its not because you've seen Saving Private Ryan that you have now seen and felt what i lived 60 years ago". Of course i wasn't there but hé.. don't act like that please, i also lived some.. sad situations. Very sad situations.
Parent
true but just meant that the atmosphere there was really bad, something that I guess u can't completely imagine. didn't mean anything degrading with my comment
Parent
No offence felt, don't worry.
I support my belgian mates..
Parent
to be fair, in Leuven there was more rain
Parent
but not 60000 people jammed in 1 place :) but it's true that the whole eastern part of belgium got hit hard
Parent
technically they got hit the least hard cause the storm went from southwest to northeast (so you were last)

And do recall the re-exams started again so people are coming to leuven again... we do have houses though
Parent
De storm werd erger naarmate die over het land trok btw

maar idd, in Leuven wast ook goe zot
Parent
ksprak over regen, in Leuven was er meer regen
in Hasselt was er wel meer wind & hagel
Parent
wolkbreuk pal boven brussel
Parent
I said to look at that vid....
Parent
I don't get it. That's what I did. And?
It's fucking scary. I don't get your point.
Parent
I didn't go there cuz I had to redo some exams. My laziness saved me :D
It's pretty tragic. Shouldn't there have been an evacuation before it got that bad?

Also I saw very few people with wellies in that video, who goes to a music festival without wellies.
this happened in 10 min time and was unpredictable. they evacuated the victims effectively and pretty fast actually
Parent
it has been sunny all day long, they predicted some thunder and stuff like that

but what happened there, never been seen before, it was insane, total madness for 20 minutes
Parent
not usefull imo. might aswell wear sneakers or smt. who cares if they get dirty or not
Parent
people that give a shit about their shoes
Parent
nobody at a festival gives a shit what you are wearing
Parent
i got it all wrong, i should've said people that don't give a shit about their shoes go to festivals without "wellies"
Parent
ah right okie! x
Parent
if you don't want to have wet feet you can just put some plastic bags around your feet :)
Parent
you seriously bring rubber boots to a festival?
Parent
I'm not sure if you're trolling (eg: saying something retarded so you can be like: LOL TROLLD) or if you're being sincere but I will give you benefit of the doubt.

I work at a lot of festivals and I would never go to one without them (same for every single one of my colleagues). In fact at the last one I managed to leave them in my tent before starting an 8 hour shift. It started raining and I only had suede trainers on. There is nothing cool about having cold, wet feet for hours and you have to be cool a moron to attend a festival without some kind of wet weather footwear. That or you just enjoy gouty feet.

It's a festival, nobody gives a shit if you're wearing rubber boots, walking boots or flip flops.
Parent
For working at a festival, I can understand it. But for just attending a festival it seems a little silly to me.
But then again, I've never been to a festival so what would I know.
Parent
33 liter?
yup... that normally falls in a month
Parent
Milliliter not liter I hope..
Parent
i think it's even millimeter not liter
Parent
I do mean liter

"Volgens de Hasseltse brandweercommandant Bert Swijsen is gisteravond op de Pukkelpopweide 36 liter regen per vierkante meter gevallen in amper 20 minuten tijd. Zo'n hoeveelheid valt normaal in een maand tijd."
Parent
Wat die ene zei het is normaal mm, dit is echt een vage eenheid om regen mee aan te geven :D althans voor mij
Parent
Pretty default for a storm
Parent
it's not normal when something that normally takes a month falls in 20' ....
Parent
as much as falls in half a month in 15/20 minutes
Parent
33l/m² in half an hour
Parent

So where is the tree falling on tent?
In Brabant there was a weather-alert "Code orange" - weird there wasn't a real evacuation :/
in Hasselt too but evacuating 60000 ppl that fast isn't realistic i guess
Parent
tree was obviously next to the tent , kekeke
FUCKING MAYAS WERE RIGHT ABOUT 2012
it's 2011...
Parent
Just looks like the water party I was at 2 weeks ago in Magaluf.
sad, so sad :(
