Writing error caused by terrain alarm Rock am Ring

A writer-out of two names of staff has caused the terrorist alarm and the subsequent evacuation of the German pop festival Rock am Ring.

The names of two employees were incorrectly written by a hired company that helped build the festival. When those names did not match an official list of the organizer of the festival, an alarm was struck. The Ministry of the Interior of the Land of Rhineland-Palatinate even stated that there were ties with salafic circles.

The German police say they want to learn from the mistake and will also volunteer to check construction workers. Now only the security officers were screened.

Rock am Ring continued the day after the evacuation.
