DoomAinakin kolme ihmistä on kuollut ja useita loukkaantunut konserttipaikan romahdettua brittiläisen crust punk/grindcore-yhtye Doomin esiinnyttyä Chilen Santiagossa. Viranomaisten mukaan tapahtumapaikkana toimineelle klubille oli pakkautunut liikaa väkeä, sillä klubin kapasiteetti oli rajoitettu maksimissaan 50 ihmiseen, ja tämä johti rakennuksen osittaiseen sortumiseen. Yhtyeen virallisen tiedotteen tapahtuneesta voit lukea tästä:

As a band & as individuals we are deeply shocked, saddened & distressed at the news that some of our fans lost their lives or were seriously injured due to the events that took place outside the venue in Santiago. This tragedy happened without our knowledge & was completely out of our control.
The first we heard of this incident was when we were told to leave the stage after a few songs & taken back to our hotel. Only then did we receive trickles of information about the severity of this tragedy.
We are in South America on a promotional tour & our gigs are usually very lively but always have a friendly & a party atmosphere.
We had assurances that the promoter had in place sufficient security & safety measures. As this was our first time in Chile and we were unaware that such a thing could happen with such a devastating outcome.
We would like to pass on our deepest condolences to the families & friends of those who lost their lives or those who were seriously injured.
