Social media messages posted earlier in the evening show some people remarking that the Itaewon area was so crowded that it felt unsafeDozens of people are reported to be in cardiac arrest after a reported crush among crowds in a popular nightlife area of South Korea's capital, Seoul.
President Yoon Suk-Yeol ordered disaster responders to the area, where thousands gathered ahead of Halloween.But it is unclear how many people have died, and how many are injured in the incident.But in South Korea, local medical officials are likely to say only that someone is in "cardiac arrest" until there is an official announcement of death by a doctor.There were reportedly 100,000 revellers in the area celebrating the first outdoor no-mask Halloween event since the pandemic.
Photos and videos on social media show a number of both emergency responders and civilians attending to what appear to be unconscious people on the streets.
Why the fuck do we care ,pets worry about our own country,stop worrying about others
Bit of bad taste to do clickbait
The local authorities should be charged with the deaths..An incident of this nature with large volumes of people appears to be forceeable..Where you have large crowds a risk assessment should have been in place..
Noooo.😢
It was stamped..... so sad, in a country like South Korea!!
Something fell on the crowd?
🙏🏽
The headline implies people were dropping like flies from heart attacks. Yet nowhere in your story said anything about 'cardiac arrest'. Have you become the Daily Mail?
Excuse me?
It's seriously a bad reporting
Scary Halloween becomes a scary nightmare 🤦♂️
Prayers with them
This is horrifying. Really sad.
Can you imagine scenes like this playing out in the UK 10DowningStreet ? Apparently 4000 rescue staff involved. Where would they come from here? They’re all sitting in queues outside maxed out A+E depts in maxed out hospitals.
All had a jibby jab I expect
Watch all the anti vaxers jump on!!
Really? True?
The way the BBC report on tragedy in non western nations is appalling tbh.
Jeff will tell them to wait 3 months just for the craic. He’s a bad un
Wow grooming gang not a word
💔🙏
Halloween in Korea ?
Muted. I’m done with your crap bbc news.
Christians should not participate in Halloween festival. It's demonic!
Were these people vaccinated with Pfizer Covid 19 vaccines?
All these 'You know where this is going' 'Protein spike cocktails lol' for people with mental health this is incredibly trauma inducing to read please be more mindful in what you say. Be better than that.
Gangnam Style!
Hallowen has never been part of the culture of the oriental man. It is also an Anglo-Saxon madness.
Titillating pictures on the BBC News site for this.
How about writing dozens (now hundreds) crushed in crowd … unnecessary click baiting
There is no depth anymore that the BBC won’t sink to defundthebbc
That would sound better if you added the word people :- 'Dozens of people in cardiac arrest in Sth Korean Halloween Crowd',
This headline is just bait to see who outs themselves as not clicking the article.
There is no cardiac in your story.
All vaxd right up
And so it begins
나는 내가 사랑하는 도시에서 이런 일이 일어났다는 사실에 너무 화가 났고 내 생각은 이 비극에 휩싸인 모든 사람들에게 전달됩니다.
Human Stupidity never ceases to amaze.
This us the craziest headline I have ever read
doing clickbait headlines 😤🙄
Why I don't leave the house
BBC trolling the antivaxxers like a pro.
is is because of stamped..
There’s that dang climate change again..! 🤷♂️👀🤦🏻♂️
I used to expect better from the BBC than this clickbait. Shame.
Some weapons in these comments. It was a crush… poor people.
I strongly recommend you not to watch the video. it’s very traumatic.
What a terrible click-bait headline BBC - kinda disgusting that you'd resort to that.
funny
Getting as bad as Ladbible ! Clickbait nonsense when in fact it’s an extremely sad event. Disrespectful even!

Headline reads as though it was some kind of mass synchronised heart attack phenomenon
