The stampede in Itaewon, Seoul, South Korea caused death (the person was confirmed later), and more than 100 people were injured. According to the confirmation, most of the dead were young women, and the number was twice that of men. This incident shocked netizens all over the world. Many people don’t understand that good Halloween , it should have been a happy and relaxing night, but such a large social casualties occurred. According to the investigation results reported by witnesses and given on the scene, the accident occurred mainly due to the domino effect, the location of the incident, hallucination candy, and disorderly order, which led to the ambulance being blocked.
Fall caused the domino effect
On the night of the accident, itaewon, South Korea welcomed about 100,000 tourists. Because it is a carnival festival and it is the first time since the epidemic that you can enter without wearing a mask, tourists are very excited. Many people followed the crowd and rushed into the Hamilton Hotel in Itaewon . Some people fell down due to crowding and the domino effect occurred. One by one, the people around them were pushed down one by one. Even if the people who were not fallen to the ground wanted to help the people around them because they were overcrowded.
The incident happened at the slope
According to the investigation, many people were squeezed into a narrow alley at the time of the incident. Because the road surface was a slope, when the people in front were crowded, the people behind were squeezed back and could not retreat, so a stampede occurred, and even five or six layers of people were stacked. The trampled person screamed for help, but because it was too crowded, others could not help. When the rescuers arrived ready, it was in a mess and the rescue work was very difficult.
hallucinogenic candies caused chaos
Some people at the scene responded that on the same day, someone was posting some strange candies, which contained hallucinogenic ingredients. Some people had conflicts with others after taking them, which caused chaos. Those who escaped this disaster heard that there was something wrong with these candies after returning, and were so scared that they quickly threw away the candies they received. I hope the relevant departments will investigate it as soon as possible.
Order disorder caused ambulance to be blocked
When the stampede occurred, the ambulance had arrived at the scene, but many people still carnival because they didn't know what was going on, blocking the ambulance and ambulance personnel. Because there were too many people in the ambulance, it was unable to quickly reach the accident site, delaying timely rescue, which caused many casualties. If someone maintained order at that time, evacuated the crowd in time, and let everyone move out in time, it might have reduced a lot of casualties.
Summary: The Itaewon stampede was due to too many people and inadequate management, which led to many people being affected by the domino effect. In addition, people with ulterior motives have caused hallucination candies, which triggered a tragedy . Although South Korea held a silence ceremony afterwards, it was still impossible to calm the grief of the relatives of the deceased.
