Seoul crowd crush

             One hundred fifty-six people died in Seoul in Korea on Saturday. Crowds that gathered on streets of Itaewon, one of Seoul’s districts, during Halloween got out of control. People were crashed and that led to death of more than one hundred people, mostly people in their 20s and 30s. The country’s police chef, Yoon Hee-keun, announced an investigation to see if police took proper actions after receiving the large number of emergency reports informing police of danger. He also said that a lot of people called before disaster unfolded. It is said that only 137 officers were on the scene, mostly because of traffic that made it impossible for others to get there. It was deadliest disaster in Korea in 8 years. It is horrible that so many people died during festival, that was meant to be fun and relaxing. So many young souls left this world earlier than they should.
