I was about to comment that they seemed ok. Were you watching RAI tre?
Yes.
Sorry, that was my impression,
They are ok because they're not injured.
Anyhow, the situation is calm, no panic in San Giuliano park.
People are maybe scared but there's not crowd pushing or somthing like that. Guys are going out the park calmly to their cars and all.
L’organizzazione del Festival ha comunicato ufficialmente che le persone ferite sono 10. Nove per il crollo delle impalcature e uno colpito da un albero sradicato dal vento. Nessuno è in grevi condizioni. Tutti i concerti di stasera e di domani sono annullati. Ancora in forse quello di Vasco previsto per domenica che avrebbe dovuto essere la chhiusura del festival
In english:
Festival organization comitee officially claimed injured people are 10. Nine due to the crash of scaffolding and one hit by a fell down tree. No one in seriuos conditions. All today's and tomorrow's shows are cenceled. Sunday's shows are not sure to be cancelled.
just abit perturbed that people are wondering about the show
and whether its being cancelled or not ,, but whatever
i hope everyone is ok
and im sorry we can't get a fanview today
p.s. this is not directed solely at you
Listen, there are public order reasons for keeping an event that big going despite the injuries. 22 years ago the soccer Championship league final was played despite the fact that dozens of people had just died in the stadium.
And there is no reason to be all judgmental. I am not apologizing for caring whether the show I plan to go to will be cancelled or not, especially since apparently there are no serious injuries here.
... and the will to show I will always be better than before.
Just recieved a message from my friend Einat who said that they are all just fine and that no one got hurt, she didn't seem too worried so I guess that's a good sign... ?
I don't know, it sounds pretty bad to me.
i really hope no one got seriously injured.

I have to admit, festivals scare the hell out of me.
They are terribly scared.
I was about to comment that they seemed ok. Were you watching RAI tre?
Yes.
Sorry, that was my impression,

Anyhow, the situation is calm, no panic in San Giuliano park.
People are maybe scared but there's not crowd pushing or somthing like that. Guys are going out the park calmly to their cars and all.
