LSD Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 A lorry has ploughed into a Christmas market in central Berlin, killing nine people and injuring many more, police say. Police now say they suspect it was a deliberate attack. Video footage from the scene shows stalls knocked over and people lying injured on the ground. The driver is on the run, German media report. The market is at Breitscheidplatz close to the Kurfuerstendamm, the main shopping street in the city's west. A reporter for the Berliner Morgenpost described a "gruesome scene". The Berliner Zeitung reports that police have set up a meeting point for relatives at the scene. A photographer for the DPA news agency said that armed police were at entrance to the nearby zoo. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-38373867 Horrific. Hope all our German members are safe.

Nick Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Germany has been very generous to refugees and migrants and now extreme assholes have to kill innocent people and heighten social/political tensions. Very f**ked up, especially during xmas week. RIP..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonoka Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 It's 10 minutes from where I live...been there several times the last couple of weeks. Quite shocked right now! Germany has been rather spared from attacks like these so far, but obviously it was always a matter of time before something worse would happen here too. So sad.

Nick Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Very surprised to read that a few people were shot near the Islamic center in Zurich. Don't know what that incident was about, but there's defintely crazy s**t taking place in Europe today. Hope nothing else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitehat Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Tragic news, I hope there won't be more victims, nine is already nine too much. I've been to Christmas markets a lot this year, it's scary to think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raider of the lost Ark Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Don't know what to say. It's so sad. I'm so sorry for all the families and friends who lost a loved one and the ones in hospital right now. I hope the death toll is not rising. They say many of the victims were heavily injured, which makes sense considering what happened, and some are still in critical condition. Christmas markets in Berlin will probably remain closed today out of respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOD Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 This Is so weird, because my bf's parents wanted to spend Christmas time in Europe and do the Christmas markets. he highly suggested Berlin, his dad liked the idea very much. We are so glad that they decided on London instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cost to evacuate a train station, all the staff involved from police to private security, the problems that trains can no longer arrive and depart, the loss of revenue for the outlets situated at the train station. This is easily a huge amount of money. Not counting the problems for the passengers and visitors. Those criminals will be in debt for the rest of their life and will have to live at a minimum. That's the only way. I think this scares people more than some prison time. Although I think sentence for a such a crime is pretty hefty as well.
