Birthday Girl Forgets To Set Facebook Party To Private And 1500 People Show Up
A 16-year-old girl in Hamburg, Germany accidentally made a public Facebook event for her birthday party and was forced to flee when more than 1500 guests showed up to party at her home (via The Atlantic).
A spokesman for the Hamburg police told the Associated Press that, “11 people were temporarily detained, several girls wearing flip-flops cut their feet on broken glass and a garbage can was set on fire at the 16th birthday party in Hamburg on Friday night.”
The birthday girl, only identified as Thessa, left the scene, and 100 police officers were needed in order to control the situation.
So much for her sweet sixteen.
Despite the broken glass, trash can fire, and the birthday girl needing to flee, Police spokesman Mirko Streiber told the AP that the “nonetheless, the party was quite a hit.“
Unless you want 1500 guests you don’t know and a large police presence at your next party, it’s probably a good idea to check the Facebook privacy settings before posting an event.
Here’s a video of the party:
