First I've heard. What's even going on over there?
There is a "trendy" neighborhood in Seoul for nightlife, clubs, partying
One alleyway in particular is famous
This is the 1st halloween without COVID restrictions.
100,000 people slammed into that neighborhood
The force of tens of thousands of people pushing towards the small narrow alleyways from multiple directions resulted in a crush of bodies in a narrow, confined area. the pressure exerted by people pushing to get in exceeded the ability of the people already there to breathe. high heat, being stepped on if you fall down, and not being able to breathe from the crush of bodies, all contributed.
Once it starts, the people making it happen are at the edges of the crowd maybe a mile away, and have no idea.
If you're in a crowd and you start pushing the people in front of you, you should receive a free street execution. That's herd animal behavior. Except no, herd animals know better than to be that particular flavor of retarded. Literal sheep are more intelligent than crowd pushers.
Halloween Stampede. Not entirely sure why or how
These things happen because some percentage of any crowd is going to be short-sighted assholes. People shove in crowds without considering that the person they're shoving has to go somewhere, forcing them into the person ahead of them, and so on until the pressure wave either reaches empty space and dissipates, or reaches an obstacle and puts someone between a rock and a hard place.
Phalanxing intensifies!
