On October 30, the stampede in Itaewon, Seoul, South Korea, aroused enthusiastic attention from the outside world. So far, the accident has killed 151 people at the scene, including 4 Chinese citizens and 82 others were injured.
It is reported that on the 29th, a highly anticipated drag party was held in Itaewon area, and many idols and singers will appear in the event in the form of drag. The scene was even more crowded that night, and passers-by surrounded the already narrow ramp so that it was blocked. According to statistics, the number of onlookers on the scene exceeded 100,000, and the order on the scene was chaotic, which eventually led to this tragedy.
In response to this sad incident that shocked the world, relevant departments have also made important measures. The Halloween event originally scheduled by local catering brands has been completely stopped, and some programs and performing activities have also been cancelled one after another.
Among them, SM Entertainment of the three major entertainment companies in South Korea also quickly issued a notice, stopping Halloween themed activities. The red carpet event, which was originally planned to be live broadcast at 6:15 pm local time on the 30th, has also been cancelled. The organizer said that please understand the outside world, and many netizens said it was understandable in the comment area, after all, the accident was really a heavy casualty.
After hearing the bad news, many Korean stars posted updates to mourn, including singers Kim Changyeol, Zhao Bin, Luan and actor Kim Kyu-jong. Everyone felt heartbroken by the incident and hoped that there would be no more casualties, so I pray for everyone.
Movie queen Kim Hye-soo also posted updates on social platforms to help find the missing person on the scene and pray for the injured.
At the same time, the three major Korean TV stations MBCh, SBS, and KBS also announced that they will stop broadcasting the original variety shows, including "Running Man", "Full-time Intervention Perspective: Special Edition", " Popular Songs " and "Three Days and Two Nights", which have high ratings, have been broadcasted to special special reports on stampede incidents. "Running Man" also issued a statement announcing the suspension of broadcasts, please forgive me.
tvN TV also went in unison and canceled the variety shows " Comedy League " and "Business Day 15 Nights 2" that were broadcast as planned. In addition, the concert originally scheduled to be held at the main stadium of the Asian Games on the evening of the 30th also announced the cancellation.
This accident has undoubtedly become a bloody lesson, reminding more people to try their best to avoid participating in such group activities with excessive traffic. If you are already in such a large-scale accident scene where stampede is prone to, you must do your best to ensure your own safety and avoid your life-threatening situation. In case of this situation, you must remember the following points:
1: In places with a large traffic, remember not to stop suddenly, and do not squat down and tie your shoelaces.
2: Once you find that you are being swept by the abortion and cannot control the direction of your progress independently, remember not to stop, and do not force yourself. Instead, move along the abortion simultaneously while moving to the side until you move out of the crowd.
3: When you see someone falling in front of you, you will immediately shout a reminder to the crowd around you.
4: If you accidentally fall during this process, you must keep a calm mind and take the correct response, that is, cross your hands and ten fingers to hug the back of your head and neck, and protect your head as much as possible.
Finally, I sincerely hope that the number of casualties in this accident will not continue to increase. Taking this as a warning, similar tragedies will not happen again in the future.
