The President was an ignorant, despicable and corrupted prosecutor. His wife was a stock manipulator, falsification of academic credentials, and call girl called Julie(Jewelry). Also they are looked under an obsession of Pseudo-religion.
Most of government officials and civil servants are corrupted prosecutors they appointed. They are preoccupied with gaining money and power but are not interested in institutions for the safety of the people. This is a tragedy caused by anarchy in which morality and trust have fallen to the ground.
In Korea, So many people hold candlelight vigils every week demanding the President's resignation and fair investigation of his wife.

So the majority of victims were females. Unless there were more females in the crowd in total, seems like the men crushed the women. Well done, lads, considerate as always!
I've never quite been in something like this, but I do remember when I went to disney world, and my mom couldn't walk because she was tired from walking allday. This was 9 o'clock at night. But suddenly, a whole crowd surged towards us, about 200 people passing right by us in a narrow walkway. It was scary, and I lost my mom for a few seconds in the crowd. At that point, you just gotta try and slowly make it to the other side, but its so cramped and people are just passing right by you, the rush of it. You don't know what to do, but I had to follow the crowd, and eventually, I found my mom and brother. In a situation like that, its dangerous if you try to push against so many people. Because once you fall down, they can't see you, and they most likely won't hear you.
11:11 wishing for healing and prosperity 🌸💗🔥
Wheres the list of names like no one gives names how are people supposed to find out if its a loved one
These people had to been VERY foolish to even THINK to be in such a CONGESTED area……what happened to Common Sense???? I thought ONLY Americans were THAT FOOLISH…….
Can we stop with the politics and what this event should be called? It's quite simply a massive tragedy; our thoughts should be with the poor victims and their families.
It was an accident! Tons of young people in the prime of their lives have died, and that's what matters. Nothing else, at least for now. RIP Seoul victims!
This horrible tragedy illustrates the importance of always showing our family and friends that we love them. None of these attendees thought, "I'm going to a Halloween party tonight to have fun but instead I am going to die." I hope the authorities do a much better job of doing right by the survivors and families who lost loved ones than they did with the Sewol Ferry disaster in 2014.
Why are 2 Americans national news? Meanwhile Daily in USA:
111 people are shot and killed
210 survive gunshot injuries
95 are intentionally shot by someone else and survive
42 are murdered
65 die from gun suicide
10 survive an attempted gun suicide
1 is killed unintentionally
90 are shot unintentionally and survive
1 is killed by legal intervention*
4 are shot by legal intervention and survive
1 died but the intent was unknown
12 are shot and survive but the intent was unknown
If this happened with all americans, the death toll would probably be two or three if people squished together like this because there would be too many fatties using their bellies to protect their heart like inflatable tires.
Man..staying at home is so much better..why go in the Middle of all those people?
Could it be too much CO2 build up and cause these death?
This is not new details… these details have been known…
This is so heartbreaking.🙏🏼
I didn't see any new details though 🤷♂️
Natural selection at it's finest
The fact that the alley ways are angled downhill let alone them being that thin are just a recipe for disaster in the first place.
Nothing new other than the 2 American victims.
real squid game
Pro American Asians dead…
Worst police in the world after usa
Korean police admitting their wrongs something that never happens in America
This is not the first time Korea has had shoulder to shoulder crowds. 2002 worldcup, protest marches, and city hall plaza civilian gatherings are super crowded affairs. This was different on a night and location with mischievous intents and undiscerning excitement. Korean Government never had an issue with disorderly crowds crushing each other. Their subways at peak hours are crushing but nobody dies from it. This is mob interest. People looking for celebs and their idols and fueling worse crowd dynamics in a narrow alleys.
People are idiots..it's 2022 and people are still crushing others trying to get away like animals…we are doomed
New details start after :36 seconds mark. I’m so happy everyone has been identified. This is so sad.
Simple solution. Large crowd. Stay home. So many risk factors in play. Be smart dummies.
I'm sorry but it reminded me of what happened in the Travis Scott concert. So sad.
Stop calling it a stampede
Celebrate God not devil. Devil is a treacherous creature that will betray you.
I was in something like this awhile ago in line for a concert. I can only describe it to those who have never experienced it like this. People in the back of the line started pushing forward as soon as the doors opened. This caused the line of people to walk forward about 2 – 3 feet. Then the people in the front started pushing back, so the line moved back a few feet. This kept happening over and over as we were forced to walk back and forth, as the crowd became very tight and I couldn't breathe because someone's chest was pushing against my back and someone else in front was pushing on my chest. At the same time you had very little foot space as the people in front and behind were taking your foot space (I had to take fast baby steps to keep up), while you were forced to try to walk forward (or back) with each crushing push from behind (or front). It was very scary and if you fall it's all over…you become a door mat, you won't get up and people can't help you up. I will never forget it. PEOPLE, please don't push in crowds! Ever!! That's how it starts.
Shhhheeeiiittt!!! This happens for days on end at Mecca during Ramadan!!
