South Korea's Itaewon stampede has always attracted much attention!
Halloween is approaching, and countless people squeeze into this narrow alley, just 4.2 meters wide alley, 100,000 people squeezed into it.
The short girl was almost squeezed into meat pie. The lucky one survived the accident, and the unfortunate one died in the accident.
At present, the accident caused 156 deaths and nearly 100 injuries.
90% of the deaths are young people in their early 20s. Most of the dead die due to abdominal suffocation, or the internal organs are squeezed and the internal organs are bleeding.
At present, South Korea officially identified it as "National Disaster Day" because this is the most serious stampede accident in South Korea's history.
If you carefully observe the incident, Itaewon , the business district, all the entertainment facilities and store names are in English.
If you know more, people who come here will unconsciously communicate in English.
Regarding the stampede behind, many people think that someone did it on purpose, based on: someone received candy handed over by a stranger when the incident occurred, and the candy contained hallucinations; and some people heard someone say "Push hard, push forward."
But if you dig out the Itaewon place again, you will find such a bad scene.
Itaewon is famous for being a business district, and many people are now rushing to it. But its predecessor turned out to be a place where the US military had fun.
Over a hundred years ago, this was still a slum.
Since the outbreak of Korean War , a large number of US troops have been strongly injected into South Korea, but these US troops are very annoying about the boring life here, so they began to encourage the establishment of some entertainment facilities, bars, and nightclubs.
even directly proposed to treat some Korean women as playthings and use them as comfort women to comfort the US military stationed in North Korea.
Therefore, under such a background, some Korean women went to the region to "return to their old business" and were loved by American soldiers.
Slowly, this place has become a fashionable trend territory.
Since it was originally a place that the American army wanted to build, most of the places here are based on the "English store name".
What's even more ridiculous is that the Korean officials at that time actually used the excuse of "civil diplomats" to encourage these women to act as comfort women and give this profession a "sacred" meaning, just because it drove the development of the Korean economy at that time.
At that time, the Korean official even publicly organized these women to participate, calling them "patriotic contribution" and "to contribute to the development of the motherland."
For some women who want to do it alone, they will suppress and force them to join the battle. All the profits obtained by will be confiscated.
At the same time, another chaos also arises: countless women are pregnant and their children are forced to abort or abandon.
Most of the children who were abolished were mixed Chinese and American. People named this place ", the second child, ", but the name was not nice, so they changed it to "Itaewon".
Later, South Korea's economic development , and this group of people were gradually abandoned. In 2014, a group of people appealed collectively and eventually received humanitarian compensation, with each person of 35,000, which was considered a settlement.
However, when the Itaewon stampede accident occurred, 100,000 people flocked to the place and seemed to have forgotten the past and present of the place.
If it is a festival in your own country, it can be explained as an accident. For this festival that does not belong to your own country, such a tragedy is really tragic.
