Korea Itaewon crushed death accident Halloween disaster

On Saturday night, October 29th, 100,000 people flocked to Itaewon for Halloween. Then, as people flocked around the sloping downhill road, a few people suddenly fell, and as if dominoes were toppling over, people rushed forward in an instant, and the worst crushing accident occurred.

Worst crushing accident: 120 people died and 100 injured. A crushing accident occurred in front of the person, and after not being aware of this, the crowd continued to gather and increase the damage, paramedics. Too many casualties to afford CPR resuscitation Fire officials who arrived at the accident site also said they were very sorry that they could not quickly rescue the citizens who were lying at the bottom because they could not quickly enter the accident site due to the large crowd.

The accident occurred in a narrow alley downhill near the Hamilton Hotel in Itaewon-dong. The Itaewon fire department received reports of a patient having difficulty breathing around 10:20, and an ambulance and fire department rushed to the scene. Immediately after the accident, dozens of people who were crushed on the road in front of the Hamilton Hotel received CPR while they collapsed. According to the fire department, as of the morning of October 30th (Sunday), there were 120 dead and 100 injured, and the scene was truly a chaos. Meanwhile, various rumors have emerged that the cause of the accident was that a crowd gathered to see a celebrity, but the specific cause of the accident has yet to be confirmed.

The casualties were transported to Soonchunhyang University Hospital, National Medical Center, Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital, Gangbuk Samsung Hospital, Seoul St. Mary's Hospital, Chungang University Hospital, Seoul National University Hospital, and Yeouido St. Mary's Hospital. In recent years, there have been many restrictions on outdoor activities due to the corona virus. I carefully guess whether this kind of accident happened as the desire for outdoor activities of people who were suppressed by the removal of outdoor masks exploded, and this was driven to the Halloween festival. If you look at the articles and photos of the scene before the accident, you can see that the crowds are beyond imagination, and people can't even move. So, I think that maybe it wasn't a foretold disaster. It is very unfortunate that Happy Halloween led to such a terrible tragedy, and I hope that the government will take this opportunity to introduce various safety measures to prevent this from happening again.
