    So...I was there, in the front row. Never felt such a pressure anywhere else before or after...I decided to shoot my film and leave through security area. Lots and lots of ppl crowd surfing over me doing the same thing: leaving. After the band stopped, confusion and then a massive flow of ppl started coming over me. After a while security stood up and made a barricade in front of the security area. Saw some man getting CPR. Luckily found my friends after some time. Here's a photo:

    Never forgotten. Lots of love to those families & friends who lost their loved ones that day, to the band for surviving it, and to everyone here who shares the love of this music.

    10 years, doesn't feel that long ago, it feels so much closer in time than that.
    Will never forget hearing the news, and will never forget how worried we were here about our friends blue_rain and hund.

    If you guys are out there much love is going out to you today.

    I hope with the time that has passed, more healing has taken place for everyone that was affected, directly and indirectly.

    love and take care of each other~

    thoughts and prayers for the band and victims, and their families today.

    Someone mentioned "Arc" earlier and this is what I believe it to mean by being called "Arc":

    An arc is a half or a sentiment of a circle. I believe the "arc" is a metaphor for meaning pearl jam fans are no longer a full circle because of the people who died that day due to the tragedy. So the pearl jam family is broken and no longer whole.
