Reply to comment by xakeri in South Korea mourns and probes deadly Halloween crowd crush by lustfulcuties

I understand that, but it is still baffling how this happened just out and about and not at a concert or something. I heard the crowd somehow moved into a alley with a dead end and then things went bad. But it's still baffling how that could have happened.

The alley is relatively narrow and slopes downward. People at the end of the slope were the most impacted. In videos you can see that they fell and were unable to get back up so they became the bottleneck for the crowd.

Not that baffling if you take those details into consideration.

the videos are crazy, they're floating around reddit. i think when you see it, it's understandable. the alleyways are as wide as one line here in the US
