The stampede accident in South Korea has caused 154 deaths. What caused this tragedy?

The stampede accident in South Korea has caused 154 deaths. It is really chilling to see such a huge amount of data, because every number means the disappearance of a life. In the face of this incident, the victims include not only Korean natives, but also more than 20 foreigners from Iran, Norway, China and other countries. It's really regrettable that such a thing happened, but I feel powerless. What are the factors that caused this tragedy?

According to the review of the whole incident, we can analyze four main reasons for this tragedy. The point 1 is too narrow. Second, the reason for celebrating Halloween. The third point is the lack of guiding ability. The fourth point is the star effect and other issues.

1, the space is too narrow. According to the past stampede events, we can draw a conclusion that most of the places where such accidents happen are relatively narrow. Anyone who knows this place in itaewon must know that the alley extending from the World Food Street in itaewon Cave to the exit of Litaiyuan Station 1 is 45 meters long and only 4 meters wide, and the whole alley is downhill, and there is no alternate exit during the period. These problems have laid a very serious hidden danger for the stampede and safety problems.

2. Celebrate Halloween. Many people celebrate Halloween, which leads to a surge in traffic. It can be said that the number of people on that day has reached the usual 10 times. This will also lead to too many people and extremely crowded places that are too narrow. When the accident happens at the first time, it is difficult to carry out rescue work, which leads to the problem of trampling death.

3. Lack of combing ability. According to the people present, in fact, the ability to guide at that time was very poor. Even when the danger occurs, many businesses along the way refuse to help, which will lead to the situation of the incident becoming more and more serious and developing in an extremely bad direction.

4. Star effect. Because the activity was very lively, many stars also went to the scene. In this case, it will cause a certain star effect, which will lead to an increasing flow of people, and finally there will be too dense crowds, laying the groundwork for future stampede events.
