A massive stampede occurred in itaewon, Seoul. The stampede accident caused so many casualties, mainly because the space where the accident happened was narrow and a large number of tourists gathered, so many people suffocated and died.

10 year129 October, a stampede accident in itaewon, South Korea caused a large number of casualties. Many people are curious about why this accident caused so many deaths. What happened then?

First, the space where the accident happened is particularly narrow. The accident place is called itaewon, which is a small entertainment place in South Korea. Because of the unsealing of the epidemic and other reasons, a large number of tourists gathered here, but this place is only 1.39 square kilometers, causing the tourists behind to be pushed by the crowd and walk to a hotel with a slope. The accident happened here, and someone fell here, which then triggered a stampede.

Second, most people died of suffocation. When trampling happens, if you fall down, a group of people will step on your back, the whole chest may be crushed, the fragile ribs will be broken, and the broken bones will even be inserted into your organs, causing internal bleeding and shock. So many people actually died of shock. According to local government statistics, the number of victims is as high as 150, most of them are women in their twenties.

Third, we must have a sense of self-protection. The old man said that accidents are most likely to occur in crowded places. This sentence makes sense, because trampling accidents are easy to happen in crowded places, so when we go out to play, we should try to avoid the rush hour. If we find anything unusual, we suggest staying away from the scene of the accident. If you can't leave when you are involved in the crowd, you should try to curl up into a ball to protect your chest, avoid squeezing your chest to cause suffocation and avoid trampling accidents. The best way is not to join in the fun. I hope everyone will not join in the fun.
