  1. Police chief has a band. You should hear them play Seoul Man.

  2. Es tan triste esta noticia, realmente me duele el alma, ver estas imágenes me produce escalofríos, no quiero imaginar cómo sufrieron los que estuvieron presentes en semejante situación, descansad en paz.

  3. we know in ourselves that the police isnt entirely to blame

  4. Strange… only American photos… maybe this was a staged incident to target the deth of those Americans and the incident was used as the reason for their deths.

  5. NBC this wasn’t anything to do with your 🗑

  6. Could happen anywhere at any event

  7. There were cops on the street, but more focused on petty crimes and drugs. Likely, some of them radio'd in and said the crowd was way too big.
    Korea's hierarchical system likely failed and someone didn't listen the incoming reports. Also, Itaewon has to have a ton of CCTV live cameras. Someone was watching this real time.

  8. The Seoul police did their best for the savage south korea people 🤔

  9. Those shoes….. breaks my heart.

  10. Imagine that: a police force taking responsibility for failures. Never in America. 💔💔💔💔💔The footage of the clothes made me sob. This is all so terrible.💔💔💔😢😢😢😢😢💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐🫶🏻🫶🏻💋🇺🇸
