[MrAngelofd3eath]

We not say oxford if it happend in manchester!

[CharlotteDePicker]

Hate those people who write a comment about why they were so luckey that they didn't go .. It's not about them it's about those who never came back!

X fifteen years old student who's smarter than 'those people'..

[jolan94]

het was in limburg kiexit

[TheBeerjunkie]

My dad was there in the chateau, luckily he got out in time, some bumps and scratches but nothing else. Feel sorry for everyone at the festival, knew a couple that just got a baby, luckily they sold their ticket last minute to go elsewhere. Never felt so desparate as that day because I wasn't there to support him , was on holliday, seeing him today luckily.

[WentMon]

friggin idiots it wasnt brussels but hasselt

i was supposed to go, but my mom didnt let me last minute...... maybe mom does always know best.

[colififcation]

Wiz Khalifa was on stage when it collapsed

[ikkenienwel]

in 'small belgium, there only is 1 city, brussels'' ;)

[xpgek]

@ikkenienwel and its the most shit town in belguim 2 :s

[AnneloreMusic]

@xpgek

gij komt duidelijk niet van brussel.

[xpgek]

@AnneloreMusic nee maar wel al veel geweest

[SqoundreL]

funny how so many foreigners think we only have 1 city... it's no wonder they think it's boring here if all you ever go to is boring, dirty and unfriendly old brussels...

[realstoney]

@SqoundreL funny how you still think brussels is boring, dirty and unfriendly :) en dat komt van belg geboren te brugge gesturdeerd te gent en werkend te brussel

[SqoundreL]

@realstoney i go there regularly, it has some really nice areas as well but compared to other capitals it's not exactly the bomb and too many areas in the center look rather seedy.. so we'll have to disagree ;)

antwerp tho... now that's a cool and vibrant city!

[lzambeni]

Wow it's weird a similar catastrophe happened at the Indiana State Fair in Indianapolis - 5 people killed and many injured when a stage collapsed in freak 70mph winds and storm.

[xwij2en]

i survived. my love goes out to all family and friends,

[87converse87]

whoa,, BBC is more disinformed and fucked than CNN, good grief what a news tv!

[jfabproductions]

whats up with stages collapsing recently first Iowa then Kiewit

[SuperCameraguy1]

@jfabproductions REALLY WHEN WAS THIS i only heard about the one in indiana

[Nukske01]

It was terrible, I wasn't there, but my friends where... I'm so glad they're okay! All Belgium feels bad for those deaths...

[musiccfreakk1996Be]

their are 5 people died, where under a young couple RIP :(

3 people are still fighting for their lives :(

[F4Wildcat]

Dear BBC

Thank you for showing compassion

but you are 2 provinces and 75km off the area

[DavidTheWhisperer]

fake!

[ikuaru]

@DavidTheWhisperer Your mom's fake!

[DavidTheWhisperer]

@ikuaru HAHAHAHAHH i joke chill

[FGunZBakpao]

@DavidTheWhisperer why do you joke about stuff like this you ignorant jerk, go die in a cage

[diramonsky]

Disaster? I think most Japanese would not call this a disaster.

[RadicalLiquid]

@diramonsky Don't be a dick here. I know that when you were there you would say the same... So if you don't have anything good to say, dont say anything at all...

[dougotto]

@diramonsky I think they would. If they lost someone dear to them in a tragedy they would probably feel for these people here. 

[Obelisk1990]

Brussels???? It was not even anywhere near from Brussels

[Belzebub001]

I'm JUST back home from Pukkelpop.. It was pretty fucked up.

[lDinvalid]

@Belzebub001 It was horrible, i was there and also two of my brothers. I knew they were in one of the tents.. I cried sooo hard. But they are okay, one of them say a guy with no arm and a woman with a pipe through her body.. I was lucky

[videoANDadio]

@lDinvalid wa! een pijp door iemand zijn lijf! :o zage u broers da?

[lDinvalid]

@videoANDadio jep, ale een van de twee toch en diene was daar echt nie goe van. wa wel te begrijpe is natuurlijk

[Belzebub001]

@lDinvalid Yeah, I saw the man with no arm! Bur I didn't know there was a women with a pipe through her body too.. So, she's one of the people that died then, is she? All my clothes are ruined and me pillow was covered in mud, my shoes are gone; many cellphones where destroyed etc.. But nobody of my friend got hurt so I can't really complain.

[lDinvalid]

@Belzebub001 it's good you are okay. I feel so stupid bcs when it happened i was saying 'damn now i won't see rise against', but now i realise what happened i'm just happy nobody i know got hurt

[Belzebub001]

@lDinvalid Yeah, same here. I was in the Marquee for Panic! At The Disco and I just wanted the see them and we were all mad when we heard it would be delayed for at least one hour..

[larsboyful]

i am from kiewit



[HighQualityFish]

@larsboyful And?



[janwouters]

rip

5dead, 3 are still fighting for their live

the whole festival is cancelled ...

[Katchouken]

3 people still fighting for their life after the 5 deaths atm

[MrFameMonster2010]

BBC news is crap SKY news is brilliant

[NOautograph]

5 dead , 10 heavy injured , 140 less severe injuries

[cpunx]

Why is there noted "brussels". Thats about the same as stating recent uk riots happened in dover or something.

[Maaike997]

I was there, it was like a horror movie! Everybody was shouting, and running, I saw a teen falling under a tree.. 5 dead peopl..

[AMindFullOfThoughts]

It has been confirmed today that 5 people died... RIP

[octaine666fuckshit]

Jared Leto visited the evac centre with food and drinks they took from the backstage... That brought spirits up a bit. He talked to every single person in there! I thought that was so nice!

[musiccfreakk1996Be]

@octaine666fuckshit

jared leto is a great man!!!

[carbonfibertube]

"Hey mate, let's make some newsi"

- Okey good idea!

"Where'd that stuff happen Belgium?"

- Yea, gotta be Brussels then

" Yea, let's broadcast this !

Goe bezig manne, laat anders een ander bende idioten zo'n juiste info uitzende

[robke136]

I just got home safe from pukkelpop, it was horrible

[The8NW]

Not Brussels, Hasselt!

What a hell of a night

[PrincessMoniquePl]

That's terrible. God bless their souls.

[ChilliRyano]

thats too bad

[Ipodygirl18]

There 3 dead, 11 heavy injured, at least 40 less injured! You can put on twitter #ppok there can people say if there ok...

[lilseena]

My cousin is there :( We still haven't heard anything from him...

[tube4digger]

@lilseena just got back from pkp =s , it was a nightmare .. is your cousin allright ?

[lilseena]

@tube4digger Yes, he is allright. Thank you. I hope you are not injured or something.

[heldman]

This was not in Brussels.

It was in Kiewit, Hasselt.

[VaughanWithARawr]

@heldman just noticed that. BBC news slipped up.

[shittyfagg]

@VaughanWithARawr a rare slip, but still, this was pretty silly. Not all of belgium consists of brussels, you know.

[SqoundreL]

@heldman it's the only city they ever know...

[Reiben91]

@heldman they consider whole belgian as a suburb of brussels

[FRANKtheBRO]

goodness

[yipikayee]

it's confirmed that 3 people have died. RIP.

[GuataPeluda]

they say there are 2 deceased and over 40 injured =(
