Germany's beloved "Love Parade" music festival has ended in chaos and tragedy.
The world-famous gathering, known for its dance-filled celebrations and odes to techno, turned deadly Saturday when 18 people were crushed to death during a stampede.
While details are scarce regarding what exactly caused the deadly dash to a tunnel at the event, it is believed attendees rushed there when police told them that a portion of the festival grounds had been closed off due to overcrowding, according to the New York Times.
