Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar

There are no known witnesses or documents (victims, employees of emergency services and hospitals, injured, survivors or relatives of victims). Even after the 'wende' no concealed documents or witnesses could be traced - even if the extent of the damage was much smaller. Therefore, this accident is classified as a hoax.
