I don’t know which one will come first, tomorrow or accident!
On October 29, to celebrate Halloween, a large-scale stampede occurred in Itaewon in Seoul, South Korea. It is said that this is a "100,000 people" gathering, the largest gathering since the epidemic.

I originally wanted to release all the emotions since the epidemic, but who thought it was the result? Sogou Encyclopedia has created an entry: As of 9:00 local time on October 30, 151 people have died and 82 people have been injured.

First of all, let’s talk about Itaewon. It is a famous wealthy district in South Korea and a famous business district . In addition to various specialty shops, it also has various gourmet restaurants and top nightclubs on the street of Itaewon. Many well-known DJs and celebrities often appear in Itaewon. It is one of the favorite places for young people: "It’s not surprising that Seoul is not surprising, but it’s strange."
Most of the people who died in this accident were young people in their 20s. It is said that celebrities would appear on that day, and many star-chasing people chased it to Itaewon. I don't know if this rumor is true. But it is a pity that so many young people died.
This is also the largest accident in South Korea since the Sewol shipwreck in 2014.
So, what was the situation with the "Sewol" shipwreck in 2014? It can be said that it was also a nightmare, and it was even more tragic than the Itaewon stampede -
In 2014, 250 high school students were cut off the sea of the souls
On April 16 that year, 325 high school students from Tanyuan High School boarded a "Sewol" passenger ship carrying 476 people and prepared to go to Jeju Island for an outing, but it unexpectedly sank in the waters of Zhendao County, Jeolla South Province. 304 people were killed, including 250 high school students. A vice principal of Tanyuan High School was rescued and could not bear the pain of his death for so many of his students and hanged himself.

There are many rumors about this tragedy, and I don’t know which one is the truth? The children who were supposed to graduate in 2016 only held their graduation ceremony after the hull salvage work was completed on April 9, 2017. It is a pity to see the children who should have been sitting in a row of empty seats at the graduation ceremony.

Later, Xue Jingqiu and Jun Duyeon also starred in a movie "Birthday" adapted from the Seyue shipwreck incident. The whole film was heartbroken.

1995, a 9-story building collapsed less than 20 seconds, 502 people died at the bottom of the building
1995 June 29, Seoul, South Korea, at that time, it was still called Seoul . A 9-story " Sanfeng Department Store " collapsed, causing 502 deaths and only 40 survivors were rescued.
In December 1989, after the opening of Sanfeng Department Store, it became one of the most popular department stores in South Korea at that time. However, on the evening of June 29, 1995, Building A of Sanfeng Department Store suddenly tilted. In less than 20 seconds, the entire building collapsed instantly. It is said that about 1,500 people were crushed to the floor at that time, which eventually caused 502 people to lose their lives.

Last year, when I was watching the Korean drama " Please answer 1994", I also saw a clip with this incident as the background: In episode 12, Najing and Qifeng agreed to eat cold noodles at 6 pm at Sanfeng Department Store . At 5:30, Najing took the bus to the appointment and suddenly encountered a traffic jam. The pager of the passenger in the car was shocked and the big screen on the street outside the car was reported: "Sanfeng Department Store collapsed, and more than 1,000 people were buried..." After getting off the bus, Najing ran wildly.

Seeing Qi Feng on the opposite side of the road waved to her with a smile, Na Jing cried with joy...

early Qi Feng thought that the cold noodle shop closed that day, allowing Qi Feng to escape the catastrophe, but the other more than 500 people were not so lucky!
502 people, how many families have lost their happiness because of these 502 people!
1995 Sanfeng Department Store collapse incident, 2014 Segoyle shipwreck incident, and 2022 Itaewon stampede. In 27 years, three large-scale "nightmare" incidents have occurred, which are more and more tragic, and more and more unexpected. I hope that this time I can thoroughly investigate the truth as soon as possible~
Cherish the present, I really don’t know which one will come first, tomorrow or accident!
