Recriminations begin to fly over how 19 people were killed at a dance music festival in the German city of Duisburg

Constanze TressJuly 25, 2010

State prosecutors in Germany have begun investigating the circumstances that led to the deaths of 19 people in a crush at a festival in Duisburg yesterday. Local officials told a press conference a few hours ago they're still unsure what caused the accident. They also appealed to the public to wait for the results of the investigation - before apportioning blame. People across Germany have been horrified at the deaths. The organizers of the festival - the Love Parade - say the event will never take place again.
