SANKT JOHANN/RIED. After the tent festival disaster in Sankt Johann am Walde in the district of Braunau, in which two people died and more than 18 were injured on Friday, August 100, the investigations of the authorities are in full swing.
The criminal investigations after the tent festival drama of St. Johann am Walde with two dead are – as reported – discontinued. The fault was therefore “an unforeseeable natural event”. However, the recovery processes of several surviving victims have not yet been completed. For some, this is likely to take years.
Five years ago, hurricane gusts tore away a marquee in the Kobernaußer forest. Two people died and around 140 were injured. There is now a book about the tragedy that came out of the blue.
