Originally posted by Mirrorgirl:hey guys! couldn't ignore this topic as it is very disturbing. I live in Moscow and I can tell you that news exaggerates the situation a lot. even our local news: my parents phone me from my hometown and they're scared because they think that we're suffocating here. this is not true. people in masks are obviously tourists because I haven't seen anyone wearing them in last three weeks. and the smog isn't so bad, really. all our windows are open and one can breath freely. so if U2 cancel their show it will be really awful, I'll be more than pissed... my friend is coming from another part of the country merely to see them, we've also collected an awful lot of money to pay for my mom's plane ticket... and bands keep performing here, we saw The Editors at an openair festival two weeks ago right in the middle of the smog panic, so let's hope for the best... sorry for this outburst of emotions though.
Good to hear, thanks
