Conflicts and gaps
The source set is consistent that the concert experienced dangerous crowding, but some figures and detail differ between reports.
Sources give different attendance figures for the same FM95BLÖ / Fermingarveisla aldarinnar event.
Reported about 10,000 guests at the concert.
Cited venue-operator information of around 8,600 attendees, with a permit request for 8,000.
The figures likely reflect different reporting sources or counting methods. The exact number present at the moment of the surge was not verified.
Early and later reports used different medical measures.
Three people were reported transported from the venue to emergency care.
15 people were reported to have sought emergency treatment, with one admitted.
These figures may not conflict directly: one appears to describe transport from the venue, while the other describes total emergency-department attendance.
