Surprise everywhere. “Are you not Dimitri, who was just running there?”, The numb festival goers asked in the doorway. Dimitri answers in the affirmative, and lets them in. “They showered and I gave them something to eat and drink, and then brought them to the station.”
Dozens of festival goers to hospital

“The Velser tunnel was even closed because groups of people were in the tunnel. I think they still received a bill for that.”
