Today I want to tell you about thunderstorm during the concert. It was Rock am Ring festival in Germany. Rock am Ring- this is a rock festival that appeared in 1985. And thunderstorm happened on 06.06.15.
This thunderstorm started about 1a.m. The first hit of lightning got into the backstage. Eight people were injured. It happened after Merlin Manson’s performance.
People were asked to stay in special places to escape from lightnings.
About 4a.m. new lightning got into camping zone. And because of it 25 people were injured too. Another lightning got into the crowd. About 6 people were injured.
Local police said that all people who were injured were taken to hospitals. Fortunately, no one died.
In spite of bad weather, organisers of this event didn’t stop the concert. And lots of people knew that the weather on this day would be dangerous.
If you will be in similar situation try to go out from a big crowd. And try not to stay near stage or metal things.
Thanks for your attention:)
