In Palma de Mallorca, a tragic accident occurred nearby, leading to a moment of silence at the popular party spot Ballermann 1 on a Saturday evening around 7 p.m. The unusual silence was in honor of the four deceased individuals, including two German women. People mourned and shed tears in remembrance, rather than the usual loud shouts and music. The surrounding area was somber as restaurants turned off their music and the street was cordoned off by the police. Hundreds of people gathered at the scene of the accident, known as the “Medusa Bar,” to pay their respects and mourn the loss of life. A funeral service was organized by friends of the victims, and hundreds of mourners laid flowers and lit candles in memory of the deceased. Among the crowd were Caro and Andreas Robens, visibly moved and wiping away tears even as firefighters returned to pay their respects with a final farewell gesture.
