Halloween
Halloween
A famous bar street near Itaewon, Seoul, South Korea, has appeared one after another in the evening.
is wearing strange clothes, holding colorful lights, drinking big wine, and kneading candy, some are poisonous,
walks around the streets.
No one expected that the god of death was already holding a sickle and circling over the bar street.
In fact, if there is a fire professional who can observe the flow of people on the street through drone ,
will find that from the peak of the influx of people in the evening,
Death has waved his sickle and excavated a trap on this 10-meter-wide street.
From the terrain, Here is a Slope .
Both sides are narrow and there are sharp turnovers.
is less than 20 meters away, and there are subway stations and large bus stations.
These factors converge,
is a natural trap terrain that triggers collective stampede events.
slopes, narrow passages, is a dangerous (also a necessary) factor that has occurred frequently in large stampedes in history.
: The most terrifying stampede in human history happened in 1990. When the pilgrims of Saudi Arabia passed through a tunnel that was 500 meters long and 20 meters wide, someone fell down.
The trampling accident happened, and 426 people died .
and where is the most trampled?
Sports stadiums in various countries.
and their most similar terrain are: The passage is narrow and there are slopes (stairs) terrain.
Let’s compare and analyze the stampede in Chen Yi Plaza in Shanghai, which is still fresh in our country and has a deep lesson.
will find that fatal elements also exist.

New Year's Eve
straddle old and new year
On December 31, 2014, a large number of citizens and tourists went to the city to celebrate the New Year's Eve.
New Year’s Eve is an imported product, but it is very popular. After several years of continuous development, there are more people in
.
This person gathers together like a magnetic field. Some people are here for the New Year,
and more people are watching the fun.
It was not the New Year's Eve, but I heard that there was a lot of fun, so I came.
According to the subsequent investigation of the incident, the accident at Chen Yi Square on the Bund that day in Shanghai,
, but it was like a sudden flood, completely exceeding expectations.
(I guess, at that time in 2014, the power of social media was not as valued as it is today.
Many people in Shanghai did not want to go to this square for the New Year at the beginning,
But looking at the fireworks posted on WeChat Moments, looking at the thousands on Weibo on Weibo 2 Tens of thousands of forwarded live pictures and texts,
, everyone is on the New Year's Eve,
, so beautiful,
, so lively,
Wow, it's so fun,
Many people finished their meal and felt itchy, so they decided to come out and join in the fun.
So, in a very short time, at around 10 o'clock, a large number of new citizens and tourists were added.
poured into Chen Yi Square. And that square itself was a side. The old square was very small. The police force at the scene could no longer be blocked.
According to existing public information, at 10:37 that night, on the north side of the southeast corner of the square, the warning belt of the pedestrian ladder was broken by a large number of people who rushed to the landscape platform in retrograde direction.
flock effect.
At this moment, at seven or eight o'clock, the tourists who had already seen the night view were about to walk down the observation deck.
The flow of people on both sides formed a hedge.
As a result, it was in the middle of the ladder. Those who wanted to go down could not go down, and were blocked by those who wanted to go up.
No one knows what happened at 23:35. The power of the people on the stage to run down suddenly increased, and
It was like many people were rushing down all of a sudden.
The person at the bottom of the ladder fell after being hit.
All the tragedies of stampede incidents start with something like Someone fell to .
A person fell, causing many people to fall.
trampled, and it happened.
people are crowded, it’s really a squeezing person.
According to the report of the joint investigation team, 36 people died in the stampede incident.
After that, although Shanghai did not completely stop activities like New Year's Eve, it had more clear and standardized restrictions - in , the number of people entering the Bund , the number of people entering the Bund cannot exceed 3,000.
Of course, some people are very upset, thinking why should we restrict everyone from having fun?
But, it's really too dangerous.
is too dangerous.
In that case, everyone is like bowling balls together.
If there is another slope, it will be almost inevitable that someone will fall.
Even if no one fell on the scene and people were running together, an unexpected sound,
For example, Balloon suddenly exploded, the bottle shattered, and caught fire, which could cause the group of explosions.

Tragedy
Tragedies
Another tragedy in Saudi Arabia was that a tent caught fire in the valley where the pilgrims camped.
When I saw the tent on fire, everyone in the valley ran out.
The valley road has a slope and is narrow. Someone fell in front of him, and the people behind him didn't know that the front was blocked.
was driven away by the fear of fire and was still trying hard to push forward.
resulted in the tragedy of 343 deaths and more than 1,500 injuries.
(You may understand why it happens to festivals and scenic spots need to control the number of people)
(Once a super-large gathering of people in the crowd is formed, there is no orderly channel for diversion,
There are pits and slopes on the terrain, that is the scene where the god of death is coming)
Just look at the tragedy in South Korea last night.
00,000 people, and in such a short time, 100,000 people flocked into the alley that was only 10 meters wide and 60 meters long.
How did such a large flood suddenly come?
To put it bluntly, even though the epidemic has been in the three years,
is almost crazy. It is finally lifted. When it comes to the first festival,
is all out to have fun.
Then why did it suddenly flood into such a small alley?
Because some people say that a certain star appeared in a bar here.
Some people say that a certain bar hired a star that night.
However, so far, no one has found any promotional posters, materials or messages about celebrities going to a certain bar, whether they are on social media or on-site reporters.
It is very likely that it is a young man who is having fun or eating soft drug candy,
A scoop of fake news spreading casually.
is right. Although Halloween is a day for children to celebrate the holidays, more and more teenagers are participating.
is a soft drug packaged as candy, which is popular on campus and bars.

Dangerous factors
Dangerous factor
We are now withdrawing from time and space to summarize, last night, how many dangerous factors gathered on that small street.
+ 100,000 people flocked in a short period of time. Everyone is in high spirits.
narrow, 90-degree bend tunnel.
ramp.
drugs.
Alcohol .
teenagers.
no longer manages and guides.
Judging from the reports sent back on the spot so far,
When the stampede in Rikangyuan in Seoul occurred, no police were maintaining traffic order nearby.
Let’s just say that for similar public festivals, as long as you know there are celebrations,
All parts of the country are facing great enemies. allocate a large number of police forces, security and volunteers to maintain order on the spot.
Seoul's event, knowing that it was the first public carnival after three years of the epidemic,
, knowing that everyone is crazy,
, knowing that many participants can drink alcohol and even take drugs,
, did not make plans in advance,
, that really has a great responsibility.
is equivalent to, you are holding a flame festival in the city center,
but you have not arranged a fire extinguisher, nor have you notified Fire Station .
When it comes to this part, it is to give death a head.
live...... It's really a terrible sight.
is like other similar events - someone fell in front, but the person behind didn't know.
continues to crowd forward in cheers/screams/urgency.
More people fall.
The road is more cramped and crowded, falling and stampede occur.
Panic happens.
screams aggravated the panic and chaos aggravated the crowd.

Death
Death
Many people were trampled to death, and more people were squeezed and killed.
Yes, if you step on it, you will be trampled to death.
squeeze, too.
The broken bones and ribs are likely to penetrate into the internal organs.
If you are stepped on an important organ, it will cause heavy bleeding.
Even if the bones and organs are not injured, they are squeezed tightly by many people, and
will also die.
This is how people squeezed to death: are all around you, and the people around you are also squeezed by the people around you,
The pressure is getting stronger and stronger. At first, your chest cavity and your bones are still desperately resisting such pressure,
breathing again and again.
But very quickly, just like you usually lift dumbbells, lift dozens of times, your biceps can't lift it. The same is true for
Pleural muscles.
It soon was no longer able to push away the pressure around it.
Gradually, I can no longer breathe.
, duration 0:28
, it suffocated.
doesn't take a long time - a few minutes, and suffocation occurs.
So the suffocation in such a stampede does not mean that there is no air in the confined space, but
but... it is so squeezed that it can no longer breathe.
The person who wants to save you may be close to you. Just like in the death lane of South Korea, someone climbed up the second floor,
Someone climbed into the electric box, left the surging crowd under his feet and survived,
Someone also wanted to pull up the crowd below, but it was too crowded to pull up.
A survivor in a previous stampede accident recalled that she was squeezed on a railing, and she was a person outside the railing. She pulled her out of the mud like pulling her into the slush like pulling her from the railing, and then she survived.
People are like waves, one wave after another, layer by layer, rescuers want to rescue the person who was trampled, but they can't pull it out at all.
No one else wants to pull it?
cannot be pulled out, is "hard to pull out than a bottle stopper".
The people on the railing, cried and shouted, struggling in the end.
The people on the railing, were crying and shouting, making their final efforts.
saved people, watching the help seeker who was close to him, his face turned red and purple in front of him....
can do nothing.
The video of Lixiangyuan trampling scene in the video, we can clearly see the faces of the victims -
Their faces were purple, their mouths were open, and their eyes were desperate. You can see a girl looking at the camera in despair,
Her face was pale.
The eyes were full of fear.
Red Star News, like 15,000
This may be her last look at the world.
That's right, there are so many people in the video, they may be giving out their last breath with difficulty.
Most of the victims will be women and children.
The weakest and shortest person will be the most unbearable in such a disaster.
.........
At least 151 young people died in the carnival night yesterday.
This is their first time gathering in three years.
are all young people.
and it is said that many of them come from wealthy families.
Near Likangyuan is a wealthy area in Seoul. In South Korea, families with better economical economy are more inclined to support their children in Halloween.
Now, overnight, their children are gone.
In South Korea, this may be a serious casualty accident that was more serious than the sinking of the "Sewol " passenger ship in 2014.

Prevention
Prevention
Then, how can we avoid such misfortunes and accidents between ourselves and our family?
- , there are fewer people.
as far away from such large gatherings at night, especially outdoors in the urban area.
is very simple. Modern sports venues, cinemas, and relatively mature management. The lighting, lighting, channels, management, audio, and seat isolation have been scientifically designed.
Even if there is a crowding, the loudspeaker can effectively guide it.
As long as there is no fire, it is unlikely to get out of control.
I haven't heard of stampede in sports venues or cinemas for many years.
And urban areas, such as Bar Street, have poor lighting, complex terrain, too difficult to manage, and too many accidents.
If it is at night again, it will increase the chance of accidents.
- Second, develop the habit of seeing the safety of the terrain when you go with your children. The habit of finding safe passages.
ramps, steep stairs, and steep mountain roads in scenic spots are always dangerous.
Once you see the crowds surging on such a terrain, you must be vigilant.
As long as someone falls, you may be brought to you yourself.
I was really unfortunate and unfortunately didn't avoid it, so I caught up. There are several final tricks for self-protection below
.
-If you fall to the ground, curl up like a prawn, sideways, protect your head with your arms, bend your knees, protect your chest and abdomen, and use your arms and legs as much as possible to give your head and body a final defense.
Breaked arms and legs are not fatal. At this point, just be alive.
- Find something wrong with the crowd, get out of the crowd as much as possible and walk to the edge.
cannot walk on the edge,
There are trees climbing up the trees, there are telephone poles and the telephone poles, there are balcony on the second floor, light boxes and porch, so climb up.
The crowd on the ground has turned into a flood and climbed to a high place!
- . If you have a relatively harder package, hold it in your chest and count it as the last defense for you to isolate the crowd.
- , don’t make loud noises, so that the voices of security personnel can be heard by more people. If possible, you can help you see the security professionals convey instructions and direct the crowd simply and effectively.
tragedy occurred in Shanghai Plaza in 2014, and tragedy occurred in just ten minutes.
, and controlling the tragedy did not intensify casualties. is a very important turning point of . The police and several spontaneous young and strong tourists stood on the chest wall. Standing at a high place, they could see the situation clearly. They waved their gestures together and shouted rhythmically: "Back, back, back, back!"
tourists who were still influxing in without knowing that they were still in the right direction - back. The squeezing force of
begins to reduce. The channel guided by
is gradually constructed.
, in a crowded place, look at the surrounding situation more, look at the phone less, and shoot less videos.
Once more people start to increase, you find that you are all people in front and behind, which is very dangerous.
Humans have an illusion that when there are many people, they will instinctively relax their vigilance.
This is the instinct of animals, the sense of security brought by clinging together.
However, under complex terrain (complex terrain such as cities and mountains has the most),
has a large number of people, which is a huge danger.
No matter who you are lost with, don’t go against the trend and follow the trend.
The flow of people is even more violent than the flood.
If you want to go upstream, you are really seeking death.
Looking back, these young people in Seoul have been holding back for more than three years.
finally ushered in a moment of free breathing.
Experienced old police officers say that is actually the most likely to have accidents at this time...
people are like this.
The same is true for people.
May the deceased rest in peace last night, and the living take care of it.
