@@nikolatesla8467 in a situation like this it’s just too many people in a small environment. So far I don’t see any other than crowds in tight places. There is no panic or desperation. That’s what makes it surreal. Suffocation is the cause of most of the deaths.
You can see some people leaving ,they were observant about their surrounding and could sense that something is not right and something is about to go wrong and so they decided to leave .What is the most heartbreaking thing of this video is we are seeing some of them for the last time or it will be the last memory for their loved ones .My deepest condolences to the victims and families who lost their loved ones .
And you can see there are people comming too . How you can see such a masive crowd and you still decide to go into it is beyond me. Koreans truly built different
At these moments the people who are leaving the narrow alleyway are saving their own lives. The people who are coming in are walking into a death trap. Tragic!

I love South Korea and I will never forget all the beautiful souls that lost their lives in this tragedy. May God rain down his blessings on all the people of South Korea and comfort the failies who lost loved one's.
This crowded narrow alley reminds me of Durga Puja festival in Kolkata, India. Thousands & thousands of people flock just like shown in this video in almost all parts of Kolkata. This tragic incident really scares me to think, if it happens in Kolkata, not hundreds but thousands of life will be lost. We must understand life is precious. It must be saved at all cost. I am wondering why there was no crowd control mechanism placed in these narrow alleys? If it was there this sort of incident could have been avoided. RIP 🙏
I heard there's a lot of people get drunk or drink a lot of alcohol that night, so a lot of people probably couldn't think straight or having proper awareness about their sorrounding, our sense of danger also can be dull if we're drunk. Things just escalated quickly from bad to worse and to deadly in minutes. You should able to make quick decision in that kind of situation, just like the cameramen, this guy made smart decision to leave the place asap after he saw the mild crowd surge start getting out if hand, and this decision highly possible saved his life
Korea is no newcomer to big festivals and events. The reason why crowd control was not put in place in this case is Halloween is not recognized as an organized festival or event by any designated party or organization, or at least it's the excuse that the district governor has provided so far, which obviously isn't well received. Usually with festivals, plans and logistics are known in advance so that resources can be allocated appropriately. Halloween doesn't really belong in this category in from government perspective since it's fairly new (less than a decade old probably) and mostly just a ""nightlife" event with fun costumes. There are no parades or trick or treating.
@@iranjackheelson yes thats definitely a poor excuse from governor...if you watch videos of past Halloween celebrations in Itaewon, you can easily see it attracts huge crowds. People go there specifically for foreign celebrations like Halloween. Granted it's never been this packed but the pent up energy from 2 years of covid lock downs is definitely apparent. Not to mention Itaewon police are always understaffed despite knowing how notorious the area is...very poor response on police's part, they should have been much more reactive to the situation.
@@akemiyie7560 sí fue suerte, en los últimos minutos pasa por el callejón donde ocurrió la tragedia, solo que tuvo suerte en pasar minutos antes de que todo ocurriera.
8:38 Look at the people walking up the middle, like they are so special. Not only are they trying to jump the queue, but they are taking the space of people trying to walk down
I feel so anxious within of the crowd walk after all what happened. Im relieved that u are safe among the hectic and chaos scenes. Condolences to all the victims family. May this kind of things will never happen again 😭😭
I can't believe those people at the bottom were trying to enter there when it was already full. They were preventing the people at the top from leaving. That's why the people at the top started pushing
To be fair, that was a three way alley. The people going up were actually coming out from the train station so they didn't know what was happening. All in all, this was a situation that was totally preventable had crowd barrier was placed there but 2022 happened to be a year when korea just elected their new president and he was a coward who allocate majority of the police to protect him instead on that fateful day hence why you don't see any police on the streets that day. Prior to 2022, there was always tons of police on the streets patrolling on halloween cus of riots fear
This is a lesson for all of us. These kinds of crushes always happen the same way. There is some place that is extremely crowded, then, on a downward slope, somebody falls over, leading to a domino effect and the creation of a barrier to further movement. We must learn to recognise this before it happens and find ways to prevent it
Quien grabo este video, impresionante saber cómo por segundos salvo su vida 🙏🏻 Pido🙏🏻y hago oraciones por todas esas familias que perdieron a esos chicos que están tan jóvenes😢🙏🏻 Dios les de fuerza y paz en sus corazones💙
Dios cuide y perdone las almas de todos nosotros. Deberiamos celebrar fiestas en honor a Dios y mas bien perdemos la vida celebrando fiestas que no le dan gloria a El.. Dice un mandamiento Santificar las fiestas. No merecemos a Dios. Cuando morimos recien nos acordamos del Seño.. Como nos presentaremos ante el cuando moramos es lo importante. Dios nos perdone a todos. El es bueno pero tambien rinde justicia.
@@nagarajtalawar3765 too crowded and people are being squished too tight eventually ran out of breath. Stampede happened in the narrow avenue (with the decline slope) where hundred of people fell on top of each other like dominos.
Who would have known alot of people would gather in a 14ft wide alley all at once? This was so unexpected and no one to blame because no organizer sponsored such event, just alot of people deciding to gather to celebrate... Can't turn back time, just pray for those who left us too soon and especially the families who won't see their love ones anymore.

You made the right decision to turn around and exit the crowd. I just can’t figured how could one enjoy when you are just walking in the crowded place. It’s a preventable disaster, both with good planning from the authorities and self awareness to avoid crowded places.
Deepest condolences to all the people of the Republic of Korea for the horrible Tragedy and the loss of there beloved once may they Rest in peace and send my best wishes for a quick recovery to all those who were injured
This is so tragic. Who would think, "Oh let me go down this alley instead of straight" and think it's going to be the beginning of a slow and painful death??? RIP ... young beautiful lives cut much too short.
People who were coming insids the other side from you. I wanted to tell them to go back 😭 You took the right way because you were going towards the main road.
More police and MP's should have been on hand. Businesses open who heard or saw what was happening should have turned OFF all music to calm the vibe down so people could hear the screaming to move back. Government and all businesses in region need a meeting asap to allow exit back doors of businesses to be used for evacuations off of streets. Nobody shut down anything even as people were dying they still danced and partied. Shameful
Police wouldn’t be able to do anything unless they were at all entrances and were counting every single person. Businesses in Itaewon are VERY small, there are a few big ones like the bbq o chicken places but most of them are bars, and they are always a bit full so, even if they were able to fit people inside it wouldn’t have been enough. Itaewon is loud, you don’t really know what’s happening and you don’t expect accidents to happen, that’s why they are called accidents. It was just an unfortunate turn of events.
Considering the number of people, the place is too small for the partying, too conjested. Before the accident, it seems they could not breathe already too crowded! Condolence to their families!! 🙏😢
It really seems that most that night had no idea that people were being crushed to death in narrow alleyways. I've been in that area in early 2000's and it's hilly and with narrow alleys.
It's unbelievable what happened their, my heart goes out for everyone who lost a beloved relative or friend their. It's even more sad because they wanted to have fun after a long no fun period because of Covit and then this happens......it makes me so sad.....all this young precious people! 🤧😭🥀
I've never celebrated Halloween and celebrating Halloween in Itaewon is (was?) on my bucketlist. Now after this tragedy, would it ever be the same? I doubt it would remain the same. My heart goes to the family of everyone lost in this disaster. I pray for them the fortitude to bear the loss🖤🕊 M
@@irneaa I think It was that way because the police mismanaged the event. There should have MUCH more control for such a popular celebration spot. Other than that, I can agree that gathering so many people in one place is indeed dangerous but it could have been handled better.
Mi corazón se estremece al ver vídeos de ese día, con solo pensar que estoy viendo los últimos minutos de vida de algunas de esas personas me hace sentir muy triste
The management in these areas were below zero. They didn't even take precautions. The area is so narrow why didn't they do assume scenarios like this so that they could have done something for it to prevent accidents. Now because of their negligence a lot of dreams vanished. A lot of people within the youth. A lot of irreplaceable loved ones. A lot of memories with them.
Those people coming into the alley... they're gonna be having the most hellish experience of their life... sad... the person filming this is smart enough to get out before bad thing happens.
8:42 yes this video is actually seconds or minutes before the accident, if I am not mistaken I saw this mid hair tall guy trapped in between in another video when polices tried to evacuate some victims in front of him.
I was station in South Korea back in 1999 I was here on New Years 2000, Itaewon had a lot US Army MP's and SK Police walking around so incidents like this would never happen
соболезную семьям погибших ... хорошо что ты жив! такие массовые праздники должны проходить под контролем регулирующим потоки людей, это не новость , большая вина властей города в случившемся😢
Incase you didn't comprehend what youre seeing, starts around 7:00. You dont' see it, If you listen closely, you'd hear screaming. Very subtle to miss. Those screams are the victims. Eerie stuff.
@@napz8511 You can still hear screams when he comes down. People must have started screaming but probably nobody wanted to find out why. Instead they flocked that alley more and more even after hearing screams.
Yes, and I watched a vid explaining crushes. The recommendation is to go with the flow of the crowd and get to the sides as much as possible if you can and escape. It's just like a fluid in a pipe. Flow velocity is going to be highest in the middle
Es tremendo lo que pasó, lo estoy viendo desde Argentina, pero no entiendo hacia dónde querían ir si todos los bares estaban llenos, por qué siguieron caminando por esa angosta calle, pobres jóvenes, que tristeza enorme 😢, me siento angustiada. Mis condolencias para las familias que perdieron a sus seres queridos 🙏
Hizo lo correcto en salir pero hubiese sido mucho mejor al mencionar a los demás que procurarán regresar por que no había paso y así evitar más aglomeración al lugar donde no se podía ni avanzar
This tragedy has broken my heart from the moment I heard about it. Sorry to the victims, may you rest in peace. Sorry to the family and friends of the victims. 🙏❤️
I can never see Halloween as before also itaewon. Condolences to all those people who lost their lives, to who are suffering from this horrific tragedy, to all those who are still recovering and people who lost their loved ones. I can never be in a crowded place without thinking about this.
Such an incredible horrific tragedy. But this could happen anywhere. Ever been to Georgetown in DC or any of the other hotspots? There is little to no crowd control. Add a huge crowd, booze and party atmosphere and this can and likely will happen.
Dios mío... mientras el que graba se retira de ahí sabiamente... Se escuchan los gritos detrás de él...la mayoría de las víctimas eran jóvenes de 20 años. Fuerzas a sur Corea
I admit that I am divided as to what I think about such a video. I have always looked to this channel as a vehicle of escape to beautiful South Korea. I don’t know whether this video is too soon and inappropriate or if perhaps it’s a service to those who truly want to know what went wrong and how terrible it was. I’m emotional about this because I remember too well the Sewol ferry disaster and how incredulous I was that something as such could happen. I was hopeful that we had learned a lesson and “Never again “, but I was wrong. I’m also emotional because I have a 16 year old niece living in Anyang (southwest of Gangnam). This could easily have been her. Thank God it wasn’t. Maybe one day I will appreciate you for posting this video, but I don’t think that day is today. May God give rest to the tortured souls who died that night and their grieving families. You live in our thoughts and prayers.
The ferry disaster happened in South Korea is in my opinion one of most terrible tragedies that ever happened. Not to dimish this one which is still terrible.
Que triste situación, los jóvenes solo querían divertirse y tan felices que se miraban , mis más sinceras condolencias para sus familiares. D. E. P. Y luzca para ellos la luz perpetua. 🙏🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️
Common sense could have helped but Security is to blame or lack of security for this event, way too many ppl and that can be seen a mile away. You can see most of them laughing when getting pushed and squished a bit, tho I forget some are drunk so common sense would go out the door. :(

I couldn't imagine how much the victims must hv suffered they r all looking happy & enjoying their evening with their frnds & love ones but really sad how it turned this way ... My deepest condolences to the family of the victims
Even when people were already pushing, some were still smiling and laughing with loud fun screams not realizing that this is an accident waiting to happen, the pushing & losing balance were already danger signs, most of them are teens to early 20’s, i guess they aren’t experienced and wise enough to know that at any moment this could turn deadly. Sad that their authorities are not even taking responsibility when this couldve been prevented. How awful.
What a lesson for us all. But still, men will never learn out of it! So sad they had survived covid but not in a crowd crush! RIP to those who met their untimely death. 😰

@@aubreysong this is EXACTLY why they need crowd control mechanisms in play ❤
I'm getting goosebumps knowing that some of those people may have not make it out alive:(( condolences to their families and friends:((
All I can say is you were lucky, unlike more than 150 other people
Suerte no.. el se dió cuenta del peligro demasiado gente había y no fue irresponsable.
@@akemiyie7560 sí fue suerte, en los últimos minutos pasa por el callejón donde ocurrió la tragedia, solo que tuvo suerte en pasar minutos antes de que todo ocurriera.
8:38 Look at the people walking up the middle, like they are so special. Not only are they trying to jump the queue, but they are taking the space of people trying to walk down
I feel so anxious within of the crowd walk after all what happened. Im relieved that u are safe among the hectic and chaos scenes. Condolences to all the victims family. May this kind of things will never happen again 😭😭
이태원 사고로 놀라고 상처 받았을 한국 분들의 깊은 슬픔과 아픔을 다 헤아릴 수 없지만 어서 문제가 해결되고 상처가 단단히 아물기를 기도하겠습니다. 진심으로 애도의 마음을 보냅니다.
It's so eerie knowing that everyone was so happy and having the time of their life before the chaos and the deadly experience
I can't believe those people at the bottom were trying to enter there when it was already full. They were preventing the people at the top from leaving. That's why the people at the top started pushing
To be fair, that was a three way alley. The people going up were actually coming out from the train station so they didn't know what was happening. All in all, this was a situation that was totally preventable had crowd barrier was placed there but 2022 happened to be a year when korea just elected their new president and he was a coward who allocate majority of the police to protect him instead on that fateful day hence why you don't see any police on the streets that day. Prior to 2022, there was always tons of police on the streets patrolling on halloween cus of riots fear
This is a lesson for all of us. These kinds of crushes always happen the same way. There is some place that is extremely crowded, then, on a downward slope, somebody falls over, leading to a domino effect and the creation of a barrier to further movement. We must learn to recognise this before it happens and find ways to prevent it
Quien grabo este video, impresionante saber cómo por segundos salvo su vida 🙏🏻 Pido🙏🏻y hago oraciones por todas esas familias que perdieron a esos chicos que están tan jóvenes😢🙏🏻 Dios les de fuerza y paz en sus corazones💙
Dios cuide y perdone las almas de todos nosotros. Deberiamos celebrar fiestas en honor a Dios y mas bien perdemos la vida celebrando fiestas que no le dan gloria a El.. Dice un mandamiento Santificar las fiestas. No merecemos a Dios. Cuando morimos recien nos acordamos del Seño.. Como nos presentaremos ante el cuando moramos es lo importante. Dios nos perdone a todos. El es bueno pero tambien rinde justicia.
You were really there at that alley, wow. Glad you are safe. I feel so sad for those people that did not make it out that alley..
Rest in Peace to all the victims.. 😢😢
The tragic event should serve as a lesson for many...
someone die ?? sorry i don’t know
@@llostghoul omg I’m sorry about that . Thank you for telling me
Can u please explain what has happened i have seen this all over the TH-cam page
@@nagarajtalawar3765 too crowded and people are being squished too tight eventually ran out of breath. Stampede happened in the narrow avenue (with the decline slope) where hundred of people fell on top of each other like dominos.
wow, dude you just narrowly avoided death. 💀
You lucky guy. 🍀
prayers, condolences to the victims and families. 🙏
Who would have known alot of people would gather in a 14ft wide alley all at once? This was so unexpected and no one to blame because no organizer sponsored such event, just alot of people deciding to gather to celebrate... Can't turn back time, just pray for those who left us too soon and especially the families who won't see their love ones anymore.
7:00 the death trap starts here.
People at this area won't move.
Curious spectators from 3 different directions want a piece of the action pushed forward. The screaming make them even more curious.
I'm hoping more people could see this.
While you might think most injuries and deaths in such incidents are cause by trampling, a lack of oxygen is often to blame. The crush of the crowd pushes against your chest and makes it hard to breathe. It takes 30 seconds before you lose consciousness, and around about six minutes, you're into compressive or restrictive asphyxia. That's a generally the attributed cause of death - not crushing, but suffocation,” he added. It can also cause head and neck injuries.

You made the right decision to turn around and exit the crowd. I just can’t figured how could one enjoy when you are just walking in the crowded place. It’s a preventable disaster, both with good planning from the authorities and self awareness to avoid crowded places.
You literally can hear people screaming /yelling. It's alarming how people weren't paying attention. My condolences to those affected🥺🙏
Deepest condolences to all the people of the Republic of Korea for the horrible Tragedy and the loss of there beloved once may they Rest in peace and send my best wishes
for a quick recovery to all those who were injured
My heart weeps for all who passed and suffered losses on this day. God help the families and loved ones.
This is so tragic. Who would think, "Oh let me go down this alley instead of straight" and think it's going to be the beginning of a slow and painful death??? RIP ... young beautiful lives cut much too short.

People who were coming insids the other side from you. I wanted to tell them to go back 😭 You took the right way because you were going towards the main road.
th-cam.com/video/uZdv-TtiMkg/w-d-xo.html
I feel they should have been warned coz you can literally hear people screaming and it's horrific.
More police and MP's should have been on hand. Businesses open who heard or saw what was happening should have turned OFF all music to calm the vibe down so people could hear the screaming to move back. Government and all businesses in region need a meeting asap to allow exit back doors of businesses to be used for evacuations off of streets. Nobody shut down anything even as people were dying they still danced and partied. Shameful
I agree!!
I think if you are inside with loud music and people dancing, you don't really pay attention to the streets
Police wouldn’t be able to do anything unless they were at all entrances and were counting every single person. Businesses in Itaewon are VERY small, there are a few big ones like the bbq o chicken places but most of them are bars, and they are always a bit full so, even if they were able to fit people inside it wouldn’t have been enough. Itaewon is loud, you don’t really know what’s happening and you don’t expect accidents to happen, that’s why they are called accidents. It was just an unfortunate turn of events.
저렇게나 즐거워 보이는데 아휴 맘 아파
Considering the number of people, the place is too small for the partying, too conjested. Before the accident, it seems they could not breathe already too crowded! Condolence to their families!! 🙏😢
It really seems that most that night had no idea that people were being crushed to death in narrow alleyways. I've been in that area in early 2000's and it's hilly and with narrow alleys.
Very tragic, condolences to the people.of Korea. From America with love and peace 🙏
May the lessons from this incident save many lives and prevent similar incidents in the future.
My Heart Goes Out to the Victims and Their Families. So Many Young Souls Lost. May They Rest in Peace. 💐💐💐
Rest in peace to the people who who died
It's unbelievable what happened their, my heart goes out for everyone who lost a beloved relative or friend their.
It's even more sad because they wanted to have fun after a long no fun period because of Covit and then this happens......it makes me so sad.....all this young precious people! 🤧😭🥀
I've never celebrated Halloween and celebrating Halloween in Itaewon is (was?) on my bucketlist. Now after this tragedy, would it ever be the same? I doubt it would remain the same.
My heart goes to the family of everyone lost in this disaster. I pray for them the fortitude to bear the loss🖤🕊
M
that place is unsafe
Itaewon is a very popular celebration place where alot of foreign party
So it is expected to see a huge crowd
@@irneaa I think It was that way because the police mismanaged the event. There should have MUCH more control for such a popular celebration spot. Other than that, I can agree that gathering so many people in one place is indeed dangerous but it could have been handled better.
Mi corazón se estremece al ver vídeos de ese día, con solo pensar que estoy viendo los últimos minutos de vida de algunas de esas personas me hace sentir muy triste
No te pongas triste porque mientras tenga vida hay salvación para ti y tu alma ,Jesús es nuestro Salvador :th-cam.com/video/uZdv-TtiMkg/w-d-xo.html
De hecho no porque eran quienes venían atrás
Se lo buscaron señora la noche es de Satanás y ellos le fueron a brindar su fialdad así estamos muy malos unos con los otros
The management in these areas were below zero. They didn't even take precautions. The area is so narrow why didn't they do assume scenarios like this so that they could have done something for it to prevent accidents. Now because of their negligence a lot of dreams vanished. A lot of people within the youth. A lot of irreplaceable loved ones. A lot of memories with them.
Those people coming into the alley... they're gonna be having the most hellish experience of their life... sad... the person filming this is smart enough to get out before bad thing happens.
You are so lucky that you avoided the accident in just seconds.
8:42 yes this video is actually seconds or minutes before the accident, if I am not mistaken I saw this mid hair tall guy trapped in between in another video when polices tried to evacuate some victims in front of him.
Do you know the video?
i also noticed him! Hope he is okay...
This was so sad! Condolences to all who lost😢
I was station in South Korea back in 1999
I was here on New Years 2000, Itaewon had a lot US Army MP's and SK Police walking around so incidents like this would never happen
соболезную семьям погибших ... хорошо что ты жив! такие массовые праздники должны проходить под контролем регулирующим потоки людей, это не новость , большая вина властей города в случившемся😢

All those young beautiful faces.The whole world mourns the loss of them.
Incase you didn't comprehend what youre seeing, starts around 7:00. You dont' see it, If you listen closely, you'd hear screaming. Very subtle to miss. Those screams are the victims. Eerie stuff.
Nah it hasn't happened yet. He's literally walking through the alley where it is yet to happen .
This is a survivor's video.
@@napz8511 You can still hear screams when he comes down. People must have started screaming but probably nobody wanted to find out why. Instead they flocked that alley more and more even after hearing screams.
When you see a crowd shockwave when you are in a crowd (like the ones at 6:49, 6:57) get out. A crowd crash may happen or is about to happen.
Yes, and I watched a vid explaining crushes. The recommendation is to go with the flow of the crowd and get to the sides as much as possible if you can and escape. It's just like a fluid in a pipe. Flow velocity is going to be highest in the middle
Какие узкие улицы для такого масштабного мероприятия... Мои соболезнования...
Es tremendo lo que pasó, lo estoy viendo desde Argentina, pero no entiendo hacia dónde querían ir si todos los bares estaban llenos, por qué siguieron caminando por esa angosta calle, pobres jóvenes, que tristeza enorme 😢, me siento angustiada. Mis condolencias para las familias que perdieron a sus seres queridos 🙏
Большой вопрос - куда все ШЛИ??!!! Не где информации НЕТ!!!
Te diste cuénta del peligro y saliste fué la mejór desición
Muchos debiéron hacér lo mismo =\
Hizo lo correcto en salir pero hubiese sido mucho mejor al mencionar a los demás que procurarán regresar por que no había paso y así evitar más aglomeración al lugar donde no se podía ni avanzar
เศร้าใจค่ะ เห็นเด็กวัยรุ่นหน้าตาดีๆทั้งนัน อนาคตยังไปได้ไกล บางคนต้องมาจบชีวิตอย่างไม่คาดฝัน ขอแสดงความเสียใจอย่างสุดซึ้งค่ะ
This tragedy has broken my heart from the moment I heard about it. Sorry to the victims, may you rest in peace. Sorry to the family and friends of the victims. 🙏❤️
So heartbreaking to watch this 😞 I did things in my 20s that i look back and think it could’ve ended up in tragedy but didn’t.
I can never see Halloween as before also itaewon. Condolences to all those people who lost their lives, to who are suffering from this horrific tragedy, to all those who are still recovering and people who lost their loved ones.
I can never be in a crowded place without thinking about this.
Very tragic. Prayers for the deceased, the injured and their families
Such an incredible horrific tragedy. But this could happen anywhere. Ever been to Georgetown in DC or any of the other hotspots? There is little to no crowd control. Add a huge crowd, booze and party atmosphere and this can and likely will happen.
Dios mío... mientras el que graba se retira de ahí sabiamente... Se escuchan los gritos detrás de él...la mayoría de las víctimas eran jóvenes de 20 años. Fuerzas a sur Corea
Там одна молодежь 🙏🙏🙏как жаль, все такие радостные, счастливые и не ожидали, что так будет 😥

People were still coming in when you can barely move. They were really there to party and oblivious of the danger.
I admit that I am divided as to what I think about such a video. I have always looked to this channel as a vehicle of escape to beautiful South Korea. I don’t know whether this video is too soon and inappropriate or if perhaps it’s a service to those who truly want to know what went wrong and how terrible it was.
I’m emotional about this because I remember too well the Sewol ferry disaster and how incredulous I was that something as such could happen. I was hopeful that we had learned a lesson and “Never again “, but I was wrong. I’m also emotional because I have a 16 year old niece living in Anyang (southwest of Gangnam). This could easily have been her. Thank God it wasn’t.
Maybe one day I will appreciate you for posting this video, but I don’t think that day is today.
May God give rest to the tortured souls who died that night and their grieving families. You live in our thoughts and prayers.
Tell her to never be a part of a large crowd if you can avoid it do so.
Es necesario recordar para no olvidar y repetir la misma historia aunque sea doloroso.
The ferry disaster happened in South Korea is in my opinion one of most terrible tragedies that ever happened. Not to dimish this one which is still terrible.
Highly inappropriate to post this video especially with a title like that.
@@Gonk I regret to inform that when one lives in Seoul, large crowds are a daily part of life.

Rest in Peace & Prayers to all the victims & families who lost the lives in Etawoon tragedy
Get well soon to all the survivors
Biggest question on everyone's mind is how to prevent such chaos again in the future and next year's Halloween.
Common sense could have helped but Security is to blame or lack of security for this event, way too many ppl and that can be seen a mile away. You can see most of them laughing when getting pushed and squished a bit, tho I forget some are drunk so common sense would go out the door. :(
@@GonkCommon sense is less common especially everyone is so lost in their phones and trying to click another insta worthy pic even if someone dies.
Just dont put yourself in these situations.
@@Gonk
Should follow our SG' style n then nothing fatal will ever happened to anyone up there. We've one v big event named d Swing SG held in 1988 along d whole stretch of Orchard Road, which was incidentally so much longer n wider than d v narrow alley/street in Itaewon, accommodating such a huge crowd of 250k n some bloggers even put d numbers up to 500k n yet we haven't heard of any fatal casualty being reported, may be a bruise here n there n some fainting or dizzy spells, breathlessness, etc. The enormous crowd mostly consisted d young, old n even toddlers were being v disciplined n well-manned by tens of thousands of police officers incl. those from armed forces, reservists, volunteers, many ambulances n fire engines as stand by too. This first n successful event has done SG proud n everyone r singing praises to it, even up till today when SS is being mentioned.
Plse read my contents' reply to 'Gonk' n that may help.
Its giving me anxiety just by looking. RIP all the people who died in there. Its so sad
if i saw a crowd like this i'd get away,seeing ppl converge is a warning that it aint worth it
Condolence and sympathies to the victims families
J'espère que vous qui avez filmé cette scène vous vous portez bien j'espère !😞
C'est vraiment une véritable tragédie !
J'aurais aimé que cette fête se termine sans ça 😞
je suis abonné a watchers club et je regardais le reportage d'une jeune femme habituelle , et depuis plus de nouvelles , jespere qu'elle n'a rien j'attends 13 h ou elle devait faire une vidéo , je suis inquiet sur Watchers club elle est en photo
This tragedy shouldn't have even happened. 😞
There was really no escape from this tragedy. Rest in peace all the people who lost their lives.
So heartbreaking my thoughts are with all the people of South Korea 🙏🏼🌹
I couldn't imagine how much the victims must hv suffered they r all looking happy & enjoying their evening with their frnds & love ones but really sad how it turned this way ... My deepest condolences to the family of the victims
the cameraman is clever...the minute the crowd getting pack, they leave
Even when people were already pushing, some were still smiling and laughing with loud fun screams not realizing that this is an accident waiting to happen, the pushing & losing balance were already danger signs, most of them are teens to early 20’s, i guess they aren’t experienced and wise enough to know that at any moment this could turn deadly.
Sad that their authorities are not even taking responsibility when this couldve been prevented. How awful.
What a lesson for us all.
But still, men will never learn out of it!
So sad they had survived covid but not in a crowd crush!
RIP to those who met their untimely death. 😰
As you went down, I can already hear some screaming.... My deepest condolences to all the victims.
The person who shooted this video is very lucky and got out of crush at right time I guess
The fact that most people in the video probably died.. r.i.p to them and biggest condolence to their family and friends who lost their loved ones
