As we reported earlier today, according to the official announcement three girls had been crushed to death due to crowd panic in Budapest leading underground club last night. We posted about a the venue and the event earlier, now we try to resume known facts.

First of all, we can’t say it enough, this is a really sad thing and we really hope the party organizers will learn from this. However nothing can bring back the lives of the three victims.

Everything is unclear at the moment, noone seems to know what happened and why, what was the real reason of the crowd panic. Many witnesses who been at the party are talking about murder, they say one or two of the girls was knifed, others say the club was 3 times over capacity and the security started to empty the building but the crowd has been stuck in the stairway. Many witnesses are criticizing the organizers, for letting so many people in, and in a place like West-Balkán it’s definitely a bad idea to place the coat room at the third floor at the end of the narrow stairway. The police investigation is still going on, but it’s already turned out that the club had no licence for organizing big events like this, and the organizers and the security didn’t care about the basic safety rules either. This is a very sad and brutal lesson for everybody, the story of greed, money chasing and irresponsibility.
