THE head of a police union warned German authorities 12 months ago that the Love Parade in Duisburg at which 19 people died was an accident waiting to happen.

ANGRY survivors demanded answers from organisers after 19 people were killed in a stampede at Germany’s Love Parade and prosecutors launched an inquiry into how the tragedy unfolded.

THE death toll rose to 19 yesterday and police said that 340 had been injured in a panicked crush of partygoers in an overcrowded tunnel that served as the sole entrance to a German festival billed as the world’s largest techno music party.
