59 Dead And Over 100 People Go Into Cardiac Arrest At Korea Halloween event

Videos that are surfacing from South Korea are absolutely horrific.

Over 59 people are dead and over a hundred more are injured after a celebration outside of a nightclub in Korea went wrong.

According to news reports, the event was the first time South Koreans were able to gather without a mask.

Videos of the event were horrific and showed dozens of people in body bags while others were receiving CPR.

The cause of the cardiac arrests is officially being linked due to a stampede, however, some believe the Covid vaccine could be linked to the deaths.

The BBC had these details to report:

Fifty-nine people have died in a crush among huge Halloween crowds in a popular nightlife area of South Korea’s capital, officials say.

Yonhap news agency cited emergency services saying 150 more had been injured in Seoul’s Itaewon district.

Videos from the scene show body bags on the streets, emergency workers performing CPR, and rescuers trying to pull people trapped beneath others.

South Korea’s President Yoon Suk-yeol has called an emergency meeting.

Around 50 people were in cardiac arrest in the central neighbourhood, Yonhap news agency reported, citing fire officials. There were reportedly 100,000 revellers in the area celebrating the first outdoor no-mask Halloween event since the pandemic.

Social media messages posted earlier in the evening show some people remarking that the Itaewon area was so crowded that it felt unsafe.

UPDATE: South Korea 🇰🇷 — At least 20 are confirmed dead in Seoul after what is being described as a “Stampede” during a Halloween Event in Seoul.

ABC added these details:

At least 59 people were killed and 150 more were injured after being crushed by a large crowd pushing forward on a narrow street during Halloween festivities in the capital of Seoul, South Korean officials said.

Choi Seong-beom, chief of Seoul’s Yongsan fire department, said the death toll could rise as emergency workers were continuing to transport the injured to hospitals across Seoul following the stampede in the leisure district of Itaewon on Saturday night. He said 13 of the dead have been sent to hospitals while the bodies of the remaining 46 were still on the streets.

Officials say it was believed that people were crushed to death after a large crowd began pushing forward in a narrow alley near Hamilton Hotel, a major party spot in Seoul.

More than 400 emergency workers and 140 vehicles from around the nation, including all available personnel in Seoul, were deployed to the streets to treat the injured.
