It was supposed to be an incredible celebration of music - a festival like no other. But as 50,000 fans surged toward the main stage—the crowd pushed and pushed, and suddenly excitement twisted into terror. Flames shot up from the stage, illuminating a sea of panic-stricken faces as suddenly people who were once holding their hands up to film the performance, were waving their hands in desperation.
Bodies were crushed in the chaos, and screams were drowned out by the relentless roar of the music.
Ten people were dead, hundreds injured, and we were left with a haunting question - how did a night of music and fun spiral into one of the most horrifying concert tragedies in recent history?
