At least 149 dead, dozens injured in Halloween stampede in Seoul, South Korea

At least 149 people were killed and between 65 to 150 more hurt in a stampede during Halloween festivities in the Itaewon district of Seoul, South Korea — the first outdoor, mask-free celebration of the holiday since the 2020 COVID pandemic, local media reported.

There were about 100,000 revelers out celebrating in the popular nightlife area, according to Yonhap News.

Officials warned the death toll could rise further, with 19 of the injured in serious condition.

Videos posted online showed people in fancy costumes being pushed through the narrow streets. Some appeared to climb walls on either side in an attempt to escape.

OMG, this is why I stick to small town and never follow the crowd, this is the worst kind of death!

RIP to all victims.

Chinese young people will not miss any festival they can find. Even including Arbor Day and Mud Festival. This is just the reason why they want to play together in the street. Don't think they really care about the content of this festival.

You sound as if the Koreans care about the content of the festival and were there not for party but to sing Hallelujah.

You're right. Koreans don't care too.

These asians have really gone crazy in US pop culture shyt.

Wtf going crazy over this American cultural dumbness and getting killed when you can be proud of your own shyt..

Well said, Dabbu.

They can celebrate however they choose, which you have no control over.

They died due to poor crowd control, not because they were at a Halloween party.

No, the Chinese have never been westernized, they are just modernization.

Well your "modernization" is basically following guidelines started by the West of cities of steel, glass, and concrete surrounded by a road system dedicated to automobiles.

If there was a Hollywood movie where all the Chinese signs were replaced with just English ones and all the people walking around were Westerners would the audience blink and say this seems completely strange?


or better yet a reaction like this...hmm...something just doesn't seem right.

Yep, you ain't in Kansas anymore. Damnit we screwed up the world yet again!!

It ain't about my control, if they are importing our festivals maybe also important crowd control techniques and social management

You know you don’t give a s**t about the 150+ that died. This was just an opportunity for you to bash Halloween and American culture. Pathetic

It turns out you are full of bullcrap as usual. The primary security responsibility remains with the police and other civilian agencies. You are just a lowlife trying to project your agenda on to a tragedy.

The death toll now stands at 153, sadly.

Enjoy the 6 legged creatures feasting on used toilet papers and your intellectual betters as they crawl on your face wherebsun and moon never shine on

If I saw crowds like that I’d just get the **** out. Never enjoyed going to places with huge crowds like concerts and ball games.

Paul Pelosi’s 911 call reveals he knew the man, his name is David and describes him as his friend.

In the beginning he said he didn’t know him but later, Paul confessed.

The Pelosi’s are not being honest. Retweet so everyone sees this.

There is no content of the festival it is just a little harmless (usually) play for children. But now, it has gone wild due to some overgrown "children" who are chronologically adults but mental midgets. Think of Tooth fairy and Santa Claus.

Lol wtf did I get dragged into.

I was just commenting on general cultural appropriation I've seen myself.

You guys got totally something else going on so I'm out.

Dudette, for some so hateful of the West, you watch too many cheaply produced Harroween movies!

Back on topic, Seoul must investigate the root causes, and prevent any future tragedies like this.
