Just back home from venice.
I didn't read all the posts, so sorry in advance if i will say something you already know.
Me and my girlfriend were under one of the towers that collapsed until 20 minutes before the storm hit the the venue. We decided to move nearer the stage (but still far away) next to the rails. at 5 o clock more or less started raining quietly, then more heavy rain. So we hid completely under my raincoat, and that was our lucky point, because we were not seeing all the mess around. i guess most of the people moved away from the stage to the hills surrounding the park before the hailstones and the strong wind. But hailstones and wind lasted for 5 minutes,not more, and i guess that towers collapsed very soon, because when the hailstones became bigger, we catched the heads out the raincoat and there were already only few people around us and everything messed up. i have to say that the exit was relatively quite. we were in a point with no towers (well, actually we were near one of the towers that didn't fall). what i can say is the that the wind was not that strong, becuase we didn't feel like falling out to the floor from one moment or another.
but god knows how much we were scared, seeing all the mess around. we were storng enough to think about the right thing to do like walking slowly afar from objects subject to hurt you bad like toilets, rails and other iron objects rolling over.
i think that some human fault will be discovered, because it's impossible that 8 towers collapsed for just heavy rain and hailstones. Have the rain and the wind lasted longer, i guess now we would talking about deaths, and sincerely, i don't know if me and my girlfriend were safe at home.
on the radio they talked about 20 people injuried, and the festival obvioulsy it's cancelled for the rest of the days, because police need to work on the place to discover what exaclty went wrong and to find evidences and responsibilities.
No reasons and not enough clearness of mind now to comment on festivals as such, perhaps tomorrow, sorry...

HEINEKEN FESTIVAL CANCELLED06.15.07
The Heineken Festival in Venice, Italy was canceled Saturday due to inclement weather. Performances by My Chemical Romance, The Killers and Linkin Park and Pearl Jam were canceled, along with the rest of the weekend festival.

We're told that there are no critical injuries and for that we are grateful. Our hearts and thoughts are with all of you in Venice. Festival officials had canceled the remainder of the events four hours before Pearl Jam was scheduled to arrive at the festival.

Hi guys,

i don't know if you would ever read this but i feel i have to write what i think: i was in Mestre last night and just came back at home after hours and hours of driving out of that hell.
You can't even imagine how much i love you and your music (i'll be in London and Dusseldorf in spite of everything, catching plane for the 1st time in my life only to come and see you...)

BUT

in the name of this love and passion, i wanna ask you PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE...

DON'T PLAY FESTIVALS ANYMORE!

DON'T get involved in something set up only to make money and speculate on people's passion. Do your own tours, play shows everywhere you want...we'll be as always in the 1st row enjoying the show, but PLEASE DON'T PLAY FESTIVALS: they've shown in too many occasions they can't absolutely guarantee people's safety that you always proved to care so much. Yesterday in Mestre almost ALL structures collapsed in less than 10 minutes on our heads...this is UNACCEPTABLE and UNJUSTIFIABLE.
We were lucky enough to came back home safe, but maybe next time someone else couldn't be as fortunate.

I really hope you'll read and take in consideration my "request" that - i assure you - reflects a lot of people's thought.
I'm sure you love us as much as we love you so PLEASE don't play festivals anymore.


With love,

Paolo

D'autres news des blessés, de la tournée ???

Venise: 25 spectateurs blessés, dont deux graves, à cause du mauvais temps

Vingt-cinq personnes ont été blessées, dont deux grièvement, vendredi au cours d'un concert à Venise (nord-est de l'Italie) lorsqu'un orage et de violentes bourrasques de vent ont fait s'écrouler sept structures métalliques, a annoncé la police à l'AFP.

"Vingt-cinq personnes sont blessées et deux le sont grièvement. Sept tours techniques" sur lesquelles étaient fixés des amplis, des spots et des écrans géants "se sont écroulés après un orage et des vents violents", a indiqué un responsable de la préfecture de police.

Les deux blessés les plus gravement touchés souffrent de fractures multiples, notamment au bassin et au fémur, a-t-on précisé.

Les médias italiens ont évoqué la possibilité d'une mini-tornade associant grêle, pluies diluviennes et violentes bourrasques, et qui s'est abattue sur les quelque 20.000 spectateurs rassemblés pour assister à un concert de rock, faisant tomber les structures métalliques recouvertes de toile sous lesquelles des groupes de personnes s'étaient abrités.

"Nous avons vu arriver une tornade, nous avons tenté de retenir les structures métalliques qui étaient secouées par le vent. Par chance, nous avons compris que nous ne pouvions rien faire et nous nous sommes donc éloignés, mais d'autres se sont faits coincer dessous", a indiqué un jeune Italien, selon un témoignage rapporté par l'agence Ansa.

Les autres concerts prévus vendredi ainsi que ceux programmés pour samedi, ont été annulés.

Venise accueille du 14 au 17 juin un festival de rock, le "Jammin' Festival", au cours duquel doivent se produire des groupes de renommée internationale comme Aerosmith, Iron Maiden, Pearl Jam ou encore les Smashing Pumpkins.

Les autorités ont indiqué avoir inspecté le site il y a deux jours et n'avoir alors relevé aucune irrégularité.

Ca déjà été posté

ouaip, et pour mettre une vraie mise à jour, voici un article du NME.

25 blessés, 19 personnes ont été hospitalisées dont une seule avec des franctures sévères.

Tout le festival, y compris le dimanche, a été annulé.

[Caribouuuuu]

voilà la reponse du TC par rapport à, eventuellement ,l'annutaion aux autres concerts...

Hi there.

No ... At this time, there are no other cancellations.

Thanks
