Schadenfreude

Even unintentional comedy in Germany has Schadenfreude attached to it.

Marienplatz January 1

No reproduction/reprinting without explicit permission and license agreement. Please share original link. 

Marienplatz, Munich, on New Year's Eve.  An absolutely unbridled, chaotic scene, even before midnight, sometimes resembling what I'd imagine to be a Purge.

In many respects, this was closer to a warzone than I imagined beforehand and, indeed, I was even burned on the neck either by intentionally placed fireworks or fallout.

It's recommended to not bring children to this area and safety glasses are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
