Hard to comprehend. Articles a bit unclear - maybe I skimmed too much - but why did the stampede start? Usually there’s an inciting event - say someone thinks they hear a gun go off and people start rushing, then madness takes over - but I don’t think the article stated anything of the sort. What triggered the initial surge?

This is terrible. Saw few reports and it seems to be just from being over crowded in a narrow place.
I remember I was at Disneyland years ago on fourth of July watching the fireworks. I was at the square and it was way over crowded. I was thinking things can get really intense with all the people around. It's really scary. Thank goodness nothing happened though.
wow, sounds like the soccer match stampede. Estimates are over 100k people were there.

The videos bring it home. I could see some situations here where it could happen. I know West Hollywood has a huge Halloween carnival but I guess thats cancelled for 2022 as well.
I was there last night. There was no “stampede”. It’s just thousands a of people crammed into small alleyways throughout the area. I barely survived myself. Took about an hour to get from the station exit to a bar called Thursday Party, which is probably like 100 feet away. Saw at least a dozen bodies last night.

Jesus Christo! Thank God you survived. How horrific.
There's a lot of great things about how Seoul was redeveloped after the wars, but some of the less glamorous neighborhoods they inadvertently created have become real rabbit warrens. _________________ Under New Management
