What was supposed to be a night of Halloween festivities suddenly turned into a horrifying scene. So far, 149 people are dead, and more than 150 injured in what authorities are describing as a stampede. Dozens of ambulances and emergency rushed to the scene as bystanders began administering CPR to people on the ground. The country’s president appealed for disaster teams to work quickly to identify the dead.

#Seoul #Halloween #Stampede
How….uncivilized.
That is so crazy I am sure the party goers were having fun in that wave, but it was like a “Slow” stamped and people were probably shouting on the ground “I am being crushed I can not breathe”, but no one could hear I bet because of all of the ‘Noise” of the large crowds and music from the bars this is similar to a Black Friday incident because of people rushing in stores early morning for deals for Christmas look up a video of Target their was a man on the ground saying “Help!” and people kept going in, but fortunately they eventually took notice, but this was a “Small” crowd early 4 am for Black Friday the title is “Raw Video Of ‘Black Friday’ Shoppers Trampled At Target Store” all the way back in 2010 go search for it BE SAFE OUT THERE HONESTLY I WOULD HAVE CUT TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT AND HELD ON TO AN OBJECT AND START CLIMBING LIKE A MAN DID IN THIS VIDEO AT 0:58
삼가고인의 명복을 빕니다..
Rest in peace..
Lol stupid games
Doesn’t anybody have any common sense anymore? You can”t corral thousands of people together on city streets. This could have been avoided.
Darwin survival of the fittest. The weak and short dies, the tall and strong lives.
Crowds don’t know how to crowd safely anymore
John 3:16 God so loved the world he gave only be God and Son whoever believe on him not perish have an eternal life give your life to Jesus Christ he’s the one love you
亡くなられた方のご冥福をお祈りします。
I guess it really is the day of the dead. Condolences to the families.
This is the second stampede in one week in Seoul no crowd control no where to be found, my condolences to the families and everyone involved. 🙏🏾
It’s a shame people can’t have fun without violence.
I’m litterly scared and I don’t like hallowen
Halloween nowadays became a annual sacrifice. Horrible
Korean astroworld
they die littery by body crushing…i cannot imagine how this happen🤯
human are soo weak, not even in africa see creatures die in dumb circumstances when they try to cross vast rivers infested with crocodiles, soo dumb
A stampede of what, Bulls.
6ft apart!
This is so sad. I don’t understand why people would stay in an area that densely crowded though?! It could have been prevented if some limit on the number of people was used. Common sense tells you not to go to an area packed like a can of sardines. Why not enjoy Halloween in a different area of the city?
Can you tell us how many ghosts or how many other types of costumes that the dead were wearing?
😭😭
What’s food for thought is that those Seoul teens were celebrating a festivity which just a hundred years ago had nothing to do with their history, customs or traditions. That makes this tragedy even worse. This is so sad. May they all rest in peace.🙏🏼💗🙏🏼
Celebrating the day of the dead,its the devils day. Halloween is dangerous , follow Jesus
Found some quotes worth sharing.
Koreans dying for Western beliefs and traditions that aren’t even theirs. And people still try to
pretend they are not a Western colony.

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.
-WebMD
Survivors say those trapped in the center got pushed from the rear and from the front.
They got sandwich like a scene from Star Wars where the room get closer and closer until they’re crushed to death.
You can’t get trampled if there is no empty gaps.
😢.
이것은 한국에서만 일어날 수 있습니다, 휴일의 우스꽝스럽고 끔찍한 조직, 부끄러운 서울 시장! 오징어장난…젠장…한국의 팝그룹은 정말 개소리…쇼크! 200명 이상의 희생자, 아무 말도
THE SATANISTS BEHIND THE PLANNED-DEMIC SHOULD ALL BE HELD PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE HERE………FAUCI, GATES AND.THE ENTIRE….”W.H.O.” WHO “NOW” NEED TO BE HELD PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE…….!!!!!!!
FOR EVERYTHING LIKE THIS THAT HAPPENS BECAUSE OF OUR/THEIR HORRID FAILED PLANNED-DEMIC PAST……….THIS IS ALL THEIR FAULT AND THEY NEED TO PAY WITH THEIR LIVES BROADCAST FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD TO SEE THIS…… NOW……
I read a few comments and I have to stop. Some of the comments are just heartbreaking. Please have some compassion. I couldn’t help but think that it could be my child. This is a sad and unfortunate situations. Open your heart and be kind to the deceased and their families.
All the stealing of Africa Americans stuff and their racist behaviour Koreans YOUR SUFFERING HAS JUST STARTED YOU SHOULD HAVE MINDED THE WORD OF THE BIBLE
한국은 사람이죽어도 책임지는사람은 없습니다..
That guy who was lucky enough to climb away.
Omg how tragic
This happened , because they have less police officer in Seoul, Korea than other places in Asia. Especially in an overcrowded place.
And they said disaster like kanjuruhan can’t happen in their country, turns out same thing happened, hundreds died
White guy survived. take that you ants
I’ve been to multiple raves and Defqon.1 but nothing as packed as this. This is due to lack of crowd control patrols for these types of events.
Prayers to all of their families
Why reporter from Beijing doing South Korea report
Lol.
“What if they had normal judgment?”
1. They will not head into a large crowd.
2. They wouldn’t push each other.
3. They wouldn’t dance by the dead body.
4. They wouldn’t have a Halloween party just a day later in a city where many people died.
❗️This is the best example of a selfish group that everyone should be alert to.
This was a terrible accident. Even worse, Politicians -Such as President Yoon- doesn’t take responsibility for victims. No one is apologizing. And only tries to evade responsibility.
North Korean terrorism
The fact these people just went to celebrate Halloween not knowing today would be their last day is so sad. My prayers and condolences are with all the victims and their families in Seoul. May God give bless everyone 🙏
Satan’s time is short – Revelation 12:9-12. Taking with him many souls. Halloween is a worship to demons & demons are real. See Apostle Katherine for demon Deliverance & Isaiah Saldivar. The bible says 1 Corinthians 10:20-21 – God does Not want us to partake with demons. You can’t serve demons & God. God is a jealous God & doesn’t share you with anyone because He loves you more than anyone in this world. He gave His Son Jesus that whoever Believes in Jesus will Receive Heaven (eternal life) John 3:16, John 14:1-6, Roman’s 10:8-13, Revelation chapters 21&22. He’s creating a New Earth for those that believe in Jesus by Faith Alone. Jesus can be Trusted. Read the bible & Be Set Free in Christ
We have fireworks in BC Canada. Don’t often go anymore. Just the crowds annoy me. Even if it’s not a 100k people charging at me. Don’t get why people go. No concert or event is worth this lameness. Even if you don’t die from it.
Just isis type asthetics cons to hide racist allies maybe,all isis dna type bugged people have to be processed globally……..
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
O
Mean while Thailand legalizes marijuana attracting and healing more tourists than ever. Making millions and keeping society much happier
The people on top of that alleyway were yelling push push push.
I heard from people who saw it live. That it was a bunch of foreign(white western) guys who caused ignited the trampling. Itaewon should consider a foreigner surveillance program.
This can happen in our Canadian convoys specially while in ottawa we gotta be careful everyone stop just looking out for yourself lookout for others a little bit of care and help goes a long way a human life is just as Precious as that cute animal rolling over for a belly rub that you give so much attention to
Sheeple, you all kinda deserve this, “stupid is as stupid does”.
if ure weak, u deserve to die
Saya sangat seneng sekali melihat ini. Mereka selalu saja mengulang2 peristiwa kebodohan dan tak sadar diri. Mereka gerombolan yg memang tak punya akal dan otak. Oyee
Ini momen yg sangat bagus. Mantap
These kind of events just don’t look fun to me, even if there were crowd control and thought put into safety it just doesn’t sound fun to bunch up together in a street. I think some people feel like they have to go with their friends to this sort of thing. But you could have the smartest people in the world form a super dense crowd with no way out and it would be extremely deadly. When you join it you just give up control entirely, humans don’t instinctively know how to function as a crowd since they are not biologically designed to do so like bison or seagulls, and even those animals aren’t supposed to be in a small enclosed space.
Are these people never been in Halloween party or people just don’t have nothing others to do? Just walk around the crowded street is just hopeless for me. Govt. should immediately ban such fest in a small alleys. This kind of fest should be in big open ground. Sad to see so many innocent soul were lost.
This festival doesnt exist in world only exist in west . Grow up koreans
some of you guys in the comments absolutely have no respect😕
God doesn’t like Halloween party be careful lady and gentlemen.
MISLED report here **************** as it is a CROWD CRUSH accident !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
girls should always stay away from a large crowd of men, ALWAYS
Who are they going to sue? Im just saying
How do they walk over 150 body’s
Please, don’t let there be kids and infants 🙏🏼🙏🏼😰😰
RIP for all the victims rest easy up there
Korean ☕ wwwwwwwwwwwww
This is why they say single file folks 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Allah is great ☝️
Dude we’re just a bag of cells and bones. People are not invincible. No one uses their brain anymore. Barbaric.
I don’t get it, do thy have some limitation that they can’t cross,othrrwise it’s an open air, why thy suffocated..😢
No polititian No government agencies are not to take full responsibility for that terrible disaster in ITAEWON.
Even Han Duk-Soo, Prime Minister South Korea,
Joked about wordplays in Foreign Media Briefing.
It’s really disaster from the moral viewpoint combined with aggressive social insolence.
And only tries to evade responsibility. It’s a serious problem in Korea
I always though Halloween is a stupid thing to celebrate. I guess Halloween couldn’t get more real than this. RIP to those who died.
Des rumeurs courent que les personnes ayant reçus les injections expérimentales n ont pas supportés les décibels ???🙄🤔🤔🤔 terrible tragédie.
This is really tragic and horrifying Rest in peace who lost their life .God give strength to those victims families.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
-What a scary and Seouless thing to do!!
Getting killed celebrating something stupid is the dumbest way to die.
150 dead end crowd cruh it’s beautifull”☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️😆😆😆😆
That’s a horrific tragedy ! So senseless , all to celebrate Halloween.😔
What caused the stamped? They only tell you people were there for Halloween party.
Oh no that my favorite county
How crazy all those people doing CPR on the lifeless bodies. So heartbreaking. Praying for them and their families
You Christian Buddhists have no compassion, you celebrate a haram holiday knowing that people are dead. Again, your shameless expression of sympathy is foolish, in fact this holiday is illegitimate, if you don’t stop this holiday, there will be even more terrible casualties next year, people get choked to death, my words are not for everyone
This is so very sad 😢🙏🏽
This makes the astroworld tragedy look mid , no offense,r.i.p to all those who lost their life in both incidents, r.i.p takeoff too 🙁
#Fuckedupween
The Lord has Done this, turn from the worship of Baal. Turn to Jesus
Allah hu akbar.innalilahiwainnalilahi rojiun ….Allah hu akbar.
Hantu buat kerja dah …sbb xcukup team ..tambah team
Rushing to a bar because of a “celebrity” was the reason that motivated the stampede😩😔
This wasn’t a stampede, that involves everyone running. This was a slow crush of the crowd in a tight alley.
Tragic. RiP 🙏 ❤️
4 type of problems; 1) some of the cafes, build unlicensed 12-17m2 more building parts on street. 2) some of the guys scream back back and push push 3) police not opened the road for the people in the corridor to come out 4) The majority are rule-abiding people. therefore it does not overflow into the traffic path. Specially on my country many poeple not care law authority on that situation and walk on traffic road to relieves stampede. More information please check this video; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIvQCZunUvo
this will happened to those peaople who die hard fans of the celebrities they want to see that night before stampeed
150 people Sacrificed to Halloween 🎃 Demons.But Still this Foolish people will not Repent & Turn to Jesus Christ for the Remission of their Sins.
