It has been reported that 120 people have been killed in Itaewon due to the crowd surge.

As reported, over 100,000 individuals gathered in the neighborhood on October 29 to celebrate Halloween. According to Seoul Economy Daily, fire officials reported that 120 people have died and hundreds were injured, with the numbers rising. 

It has also been reported by several eye witnesses that the incident was caused by a crowd surge at a steep alley area. Others also claim that there was allegedly a celebrity in the area, which further provoked the surge. 

Meanwhile, South Korea's President Yoon Suk Yeol has called an emergency meeting in light of this tragic incident.

We express our condolences to the deceased.

In the end, nothing they say or do can bring all these people back from the dead. That's the harsh reality. One can just hope that they will at least learn something from this and be able to prevent such unnecessary deaths in the future.

This is not the first time something like this has happened, and it could have been prevented but seems like some people have a hard time learning from past mistakes, and others have to keep suffering because of it. Their deaths were completely pointless and always will be until people actually learn from it and make sure that it can't happen again. So often there is only done something when there already are victims, then it is talked about for a bit and after a while it's forgotten again. Rinse and repeat. My condolences to the bereaved and may their loved ones be at peace.
