Stampede at Seoul Halloween event kills 120, injures at least 100 more, officials say

washingtonpost.com

SEOUL — At least 120 people died and at least 100 more were injured after an apparent crowd crush during Halloween celebrations in the Itaewon area of Seoul Saturday night, according to fire department officials.

Witnesses reported a chaotic scene of partygoers cramped into narrow streets near the Itaewon station, some trying to leave the area after a night of celebrations. Some people couldn’t even move their limbs because of the elbow-to-elbow crowd. Many couldn’t hear one another over the noise or call for help because of lack of a cell connection.

Bodies covered in blue medical sheets were being carried out from a makeshift emergency site in an empty building early Sunday morning, some with just one shoe on, others barefoot.
