South Korea's famous nightlife busy area Itaewon 29th on the evening of the 429th, at least 151 people were killed and 65 were injured. Emergency personnel said that most of the dead were teenagers and young people in their 20s, most of them were women.
Reuters reported that Longshan District Fire Department Director Cui Chengfan said on the 30th that 19 people were seriously injured and were in emergency treatment, and the number of deaths may increase.
Cui Chengfan said that many people fell while attending Halloween events, with a large number of casualties, and many people died near a nightclub. He said most of the victims were women in their 20s.
Witnesses pointed out that before the stampede, the masses had lost control, and a large crowd was expected and the police who maintained order at the scene could not control the masses.
This was originally the first Halloween weekend carnival party that South Korea ushered in after the epidemic lockdown, but it turned into a tragedy of 100 casualties. Now the incident happened and the video has also been exposed.
A doctor netizen posted that at the moment of the incident, usually the front and back rows may not know what happened. "It is possible that the back row thinks the front row is in high spirits, but the front row has already escaped (but) is blocked, which eventually leads to group chaos and distraction." In addition, as long as one person falls, it will cause a "domino effect", causing more people in the back to fall to the ground one after another, causing trampling damage or suffocation, fractures, internal bleeding caused by the superposition of the human body, and "the rescue of this level is very difficult."
