As someone who was there and narrowly avoided the worst by simply going down another alleyway, this documentary hit me hard. I still find it difficult to go into tight spaces and avoid places with too many people after everything. I grieve all these beautiful humans who were simple there to have fun and enjoy a night out. It was a tragedy that should have never happened, but thank you for this documentary to allow people to share their stories and I can learn more about those who are no longer with us. Thank you.
15:17 - The father who tried to hold back his tears while laughed when he said "she is gone" made me cry instead. To all parents who are so strong, I pray that your remaining life will be less painful and you deserve to see all kids again in Heaven.
It feels wrong to like this video, but i thought it was well made. No sensationalization, no dramatization. Only reminded us how fickle life is. Appreciate every day, cherish those around you. Be aware of your surroundings. Look out for one another
I'm cheering for Juna's recovery! It really sounds like things have been hard for her and it's understandable but I hope she knows how precious she is and that she deserves to live as much as she wishes Chaerim did.
I took a picture at that alley with my wife a few days prior to the Itaewon Crowd Crush incident. It is on my instagram page. Seeing that picture now sends chills to my spine. We were supposed to go back there to experience the halloween celebrations but I'm so thankful we decided to skip Itaewon and head to another place instead. I grieve for all the victims and survivors of this incident and my heart truly goes out to them. I cannot imagine losing my loved ones this way. 😭
I got chills also looking back at the photos I have taken way back in 2016. We really would not know what disaster awaits even in most beautiful places.
This is so heartbreaking to watch, but thank you for making this documentary to commemorate all the victims and allow survivors to share their stories as a means to process this tragedy. This truly was a reminder for myself to treasure every second of life and be grateful that I can still strive for my dreams no matter how tiring it might seem. My heart goes out to all the survivors and families. Thank you to those like Jinuk who leaped in to help that day without hesitation, you are truly heroes.❤️
i won’t lie this documentary has a heavy impact on me personally. It was hard to watch without getting emotional regardless of not knowing the people… I hope everyone else in this video is gonna be able to recover and try their best to live their life to the fullest.
The fact that people started reporting more than 4 hours before the tragedy is what makes my blood boil.. Complete failure of the police and the fire department, as well as the government (which has still not taken any accountability for this accident). Ridiculous
Fire Department have nothing to do with the issues. Local Government and Police are responsible for crowd control. Further to this cctv street cameras are linked to local security / government, so they have the historical and real time data + knowing about the history of the alleyway, all they needed was 10-20 traffic controllers / private security, a few police and the transportation to shut off station during particular time. Why are the first responders being blamed.
I was here as well with a couple friends. We began getting swept up by the crowd, so we escaped into the first club we saw that had the shortest line. I can't really explain how it feels to be forcibly swept up by the people around you. The way Byeongu described it as a 'big wave' is pretty much the most accurate way I would describe it. We had to cling to the barricade beside us. We finally made it in, and maybe 20 minutes later we began getting Korean citizen alerts to our phones that there had been some kind of 'accident'. At first it was reported as an injury or two, then one death, then our phones started pinging non-stop as more built up. We were in the alley that Byeongu said they walked down at 7:36. Can't even explain what it was like when we came back outside. With how crowded that entire area was, it could've happened anywhere. But I've been in the alley where the crush happened a thousand times... imho the steep slope was its doom (along with some insane people who thought it was a great idea to push and the horrendous timing of police). No way a street with that build could aid in a rush like a flat surface could. Once the initial people in the front went down, there was no chance. Not only were they crushed, but those who were standing who had nowhere to go. They were crushed and killed still upright. It was like the bottom of that alley was a pit. Thank you for this, and how much you focused on the victims and their families/loved ones. It's hard to really find meaning in any of what happened, but at least celebrating those lost is something worthwhile.
This is heartbreaking on another level. The fact that after being saved from the crowd crush most victims stayed to save their friends, loved ones, and strangers and have to do the CPR themselves was truly soul crushing. I hope the survivors will heal and find peace in their hearts that it was never their fault.😢
This documentary was informative, touching, and a great tribute to both the souls lost and survivors of the Itaewon crush. I commend the team who put this together for honoring the stories of all those affected in such a tasteful and respectful way.
These stories are heartbreaking, I can’t imagine how scary that was, something that would haunt you for a long time. My heart goes out to all the loved ones of those who didn’t make it.
I feel tremendously for them all, but especially the first girl. I hope she has friends and family checking up on her, because you can tell she's still taking it extremely hard one year later. It disgusts me that both the Korean government and police keep passing the buck on responsibility regarding this tragedy. Don't get me started on how they treated the deceased foreigners.
Juna if you are reading this, I will be praying for you. Stay strong! I believe Chaerim would want you to be strong and continue living your life. I’m rooting for your recovery!
K-Doc, thank you for creating such a beautiful, poignant tribute to the Itaewon crowd crush victims. You showed how alive, how beautiful, how full of hope, how much like their peers, these young men and women were. May their souls rest in peace. I am so sad that these promising young lives were so unfairly and abruptly cut short. The Korean government has not taken responsibility for this tragic incident; however, I do genuinely believe that South Korea will learn from this and never, ever, allow this to happen again. That is the real change that must happen. Genuine, procedural change so that other events like this simply end with the evening turning into morning, and not tragedy. It was heartbreaking watching the young man remember his fiancée, I cannot imagine the self-doubt he must be experiencing. Or the father who so desperately misses his daughter. He said her baby photos do not make him sad, but her current photos hurt him so much. Because the adult he raised, his lovely daughter who spent years studying to pass her exams, no longer exists. And the poor girl who lost her friend in the crush. Not only does she have to deal with her loss, but she is physically injured and has severe nerve damage in her lower body. I agree... it must be extremely difficult watching her friends live their lives as she sorrowfully and painfully lives in the past. How very hard every single day must be? And at the end of the video, when the young man says he believes in "parallel theory," in an alternate universe where he and his fiancée are living happily. It's what I would've thought, I would've desperately grabbed for this, and for a brief moment, I genuinely felt his loss.
The people of South Korea are still in deep pain from this incident... it hurts terribly. I cried while watching one of the documentaries of this incident. My heart goes out to all those that have lost their loved oned. May all the souls lost in this incident rest in peace... Amen
I really want to hug Juna, that strong girl who has beautiful smile. I want hug her, comfort her, and telling her that her best friend will so proud of her if she continues her life with smile and remember her in a good mermories. Juna, Chaerim is proud of you, will always do. Please be strong and live happily. You deserve all the world.
Such a sensitive and loving documentary. A piece of art. You made us all feel so deeply and connect with both the survivors and the victims. Our hearts break
At the time, I was checking the updates about the incident on Twitter. As distressed as I felt about it then, I think even I, who lives in a whole different place in the world, will always remember what happened that day and feel very sorry about it. I didn‘t know one person that is sadly not among us anymore, but I will think of them from time to time and their loved ones who are grieving. I want to do nothing else but to apologise to every single one of them. This shouldn‘t have happened, and precautions should‘ve been applied way more intensively. I want to remember every single person that suffered from this accident and I will try to live my life to the fullest for them. I hope everyone can stop hurting.
A very sensitively shot documentary. I can understand all the thoughts of the survivors, I would certainly feel the same way. The strength of the survivors to talk about it or to give an interview shows that they want to live, but have not yet found a way to make it work. I still can't understand how so many people lost their lives so quickly.
This is sad and heartbreaking and the fact that they could even speak about this is brave cause I’d cry every second they lost their kids , friends , significant others brothers , sisters and a celeb died like all in 1 night and nobody seen it coming and they just wanted to have fun the fact that they probably will remember this every Halloween and always feel pain during that day is sad honestly and the fact that they seen people die in front of their faces is traumatizing I hope the people close to everyone and that passed are resting in peace and I hope these people can go back to living a peaceful life and just remember the good things about their loved ones cause this is unfortunate and the worst pain to feel honestly 💔
One of my friends literally had to climb up a building pipe to escape the crowd. He suffered severe cuts on his hands and legs because of the climb. I am so sorry so many young people lose their lives 😢
This video is so so important. It shows the victims were just normal people trying to have fun, not drunk teenagers pushing and shoving eachother. There was so much misinformation at the time and people victim blaming online. What happened was not these people’s fault.
A wonderful tribute with a beautiful soundtrack, those baby pictures are so touching. I visited Korea one month before the tragedy. Since I became older, I don’t enjoy going out anymore, and can’t stand crowded and noisy environments. What I noticed in Korea, some bars and clubs are concentrated on very narrow streets. In Busan, my hotel was located downtown, I had to pass by a very crowded area with many bars. Just a regular evening but it was so packed everywhere, I could barely walk and got out as fast as possible. Then, I was thinking « that’s total madness, what would happened on special day or Saturday evening ». And then, this horrific incident … I can’t imagine the pain they went through. The guy who lost his fiancée, that’s terribly sad. Losing a child is also an unbearable tragedy that no parent should ever experience. May they rest in peace.
I’m so sorry for everyone’s loss. It was such a tragic loss. They are all the guardian angels that nobody expected to have. The pain is heartbreaking and they all seemed so special in their own way. May the rest in heaven and May the family and loved ones of each of these angels find the strength through the memories to move forward.🙏🏼❤️🩹
I remember this day like it was yesterday. I’m a Korean American but my family lives in Korea and I was visiting them for the month of October, and my friends wanted to tag along with me so we can all have a vacation for 1 month. We wanted to go to Itaewon to celebrate Halloween, and if I remember correctly the actual Halloween day was on a weekday, so we knew the Friday and Saturday were going to be the best days. We went Friday, and it was a blast but I remember how packed it was and how busy the entire street was, but of course nothing happened that night. The next day we were all so hungover but still planned to head over since we figured it was probably going to be more fun. I can’t remember the exact time but after dinner I had a really bad food coma and took a nap and our original plan was to get there by 10pm or so. But because I took so long, we ended up leaving our Airbnb at 11pm. The subway was super busy and I remember when we got off the subway for itaewon, the entire floor was filled with people in costumes. Everyone was so excited, including me. But I could immediately tell that there were way more people than the night before. Once we got out the exit, I forgot what exit number it was but basically if anyone remembers the news photo that the Korean police took of the dead bodies with the blue tarp over them…that’s basically where we were. I forgot the actual time the crowd crush happened, but if I remember correctly we got there approximately 11:20-30?Somewhere around there. Once we got there, all I could hear was the police yelling, people crying, and 80% of people just talking and being confused. I actually recorded a video coming out the subway exit because it was so busy and I was so excited. In the video we immediately saw people on the ground giving cpr to probably at least 50 people, and I asked my friend “yo is this like a Halloween skit?” Because we were so close you could see streams of blood coming out of peoples mouths on the ground (TMI and graphic, I know). And then I put my phone away and knew something was forsure wrong. Meanwhile as this was all happening, the clubs are all still blasting music, across the street we could see people partying and drinking, and I just remember being so shocked at what was going on. And eventually I vividly remember a lot of the people performing cpr who were drenched in sweat, deciding to give up and the medical people covering the bodies with blue tarp. I remember getting goosebumps because everyone there knew those people were not coming back. We knew the vibes were off that night after seeing something like that so we decided not to go and drink and instead grab a late night dinner. And during that time me and my friends were talking how initially they were all mad at me for lagging that night, but seeing what happened raised the question “imagine if you didn’t sleep and we went to itaewon on time…” it still gives me chills thinking about it. I remember calling my mom right away before she heard the news so that she would know I was okay, she was going crazy for weeks after telling me not to go drink and go to tight places. She still does now. It’s almost been 2 years since this incident and I went back to Korea in January of this year (2024), and back to itaewon where this happened during the day and they had a whole memorial with personal notes and it was really beautiful. Really hoping something like this never happens again.
Thank you for sharing this whole story. It should not have happened .. I don’t understand they all expected how many people would be crowded, why even there wasn’t one person who managed this crowded stuff
from way they talked to the way they tells us that they really arent doing well after the crowd crush and arent able to move on. Those lovely souls who passed away are surely cheering on them...May god bless all of them
Thank you for this documentary and including English subtitles. My heart goes out to the survivors, family and friends of those who tragically lost their lives. It is clear from the interview's, that these precious people are suffering from post traumatic stress disorder. I hope and pray the survivors will come to realiae they are worthy of living. Their loved ones would want them to be happy. I realise this is still early days and they are still grieving. I just want to give them all a hug and take their pain away. It is so tragic that people lost their lives. I hope you will share a follow up on those interviewed. I am genuinely rooting for them, that they will begin to see they are precious and deserve a happy life. God Bless.
This was very heartbreaking to watch. Such a traumatic experience for the survivors and the loved ones left behind by the deceased. I just wanted to say to all the survivors that what happened was NOT your fault. You have done nothing wrong, please don’t try to blame yourself while yourself is already so shattered deep down. Life is short and hard, so bury the loss and keep living as best as you can. You all deserve happiness. ❤
I was there at that time. I am a foreigner living in Korea, after this tragedy, I was in shock for 3 days. I can't relive those memories (ever) getting goosebumps.
omg seriously broke my heart to see this but K-Doc did a wonderful documentary honoring the victims. makes me so pissed that people would actually blame those that died there for being at itaewon? I mean some people are just curious to see itaewon halloween vibes, not like they are doing anything illegal or bad!? I can't imagine any parents having to lose their child. :(. Sangeun Father- him nae sae yo! Sangeun is an angel looking down at you from heaven! Juna hwaiting on continued recovery & I hope Juna & Byungwoo do not feel survivors guilt-- it is not their fault!! And Jinuk - poor guy was trying to save people's lives and now has ptsd. He's a HERO! I hope he knows that!!!
"We'll be rescued soon." Something one of the kids said on the Sewol tragedy. And again we are watching the same with the itaewon tragedy. When will korea gonna learn?!
K-DOC, I appreciate your programming and creating documentaries covering topics that you rarely see elsewhere. It makes me appreciate my life so much more.
Thank you for making this video. I feel so sorry for all the losses so many people went - and still go - through. June, you are strong. Doing this video is just one example of your strength. I am sending you positive energy.
I was there too but luckily me and my friends arrived after it happened, without even knowing something happened until the police stopped our taxi and said we couldn’t go further in this direction. So we walked a short distance and saw the aftermath when we got there. 😢
thank you for bravely sharing your stories with your raw emotions. I resonate a lot with Juna's fear of forgetting and my heart breaks seeing how she's at war with her emotions & thoughts. I hope you know that even as it gets difficult and you may feel weak, that even choosing to wake up each day and breathe is a display of strength. I've recently lost someone very dear to me too and I'm sending sincere love & prayers from this side of the world to you.
why i watched this? this is so heartbreaking 😢 every single of them are so strong and doing a interview about something so painful... i wish i could give juna a big hug and take all her pain away.
I'm over in Arizona and I remember watching peoples lives that night enjoying the night life when it all happened. I don't remember who's live I was watching just that there was a loud yell, a lag and the feed was lost. So I assumed someone just dropped and broke their phone. Then the live feeds and videos of people being crushed started to came out and it was so hard to see. However it might be strange to say this , but I felt like someone needed to watch, and pray for them after all thats all I could do. Those people were alone and scared and I felt as though I needed to keep telling them to just keep hanging on even when your million of miles away. I cried so hard for long there wasnt much information at that time, but I can still see the face of people that did not survive. I think about that night a lot and just how much of a shock it still is. Hearing these story's break my heart all over again, but i'm thankful people made it out alive. The PTSD is unimageable as i'm sure it is for so many that were there. There were so many beautiful souls lost that night .......my deepest condolences. I will be visiting Korea for the first time in 2 years and I will be leaving flower for those who have lost their lives. I want to pay my respects to them and their familys. I know this maybe hard to watch and hard to talk about, but its helping us all never forget just how delicate life can be.
I had to stop watching because I still get chills every time I hear about the crush, and I wasn't even there. But I had friends there and let me tell you the grieve I felt while living the whole incident through twitter while trying to get more information about the situation, is amazingly heartbreaking. I feel like this tragedy marks a whole generation, including myself and it hits the hardest knowing most of the victims were my age, so it feels close to me. I was already claustrophobic but now I struggle going into crowds too. This documentary felt like releasing some of that pain. I remember watching the pictures raw while it was happening and feeling so useless since I couldn't do anything, it was just sad, so my heart goes to the families and friends, and of course the rescue teams for being so strong and resilient. I hope talking and sharing their stories heals them as much as they need. Don't keep anything and please know that you guys are not alone and shouldn't feel guilty for it. Thank you for opening and to us and thank you to the team for being so respectful to everyone.
Juna baby, there’s a reason for everything. Including your life. There’s a big purpose and bigger life ahead. Be strong, and remember Chaerim in good memories. I cheer for you forever.
This is so heartbreaking. I remember watching the news and RUclips here in California when this happened. I am so very sorry for all the lost souls and broken survivors and families. I wish you peace. For the people who have the audacity to try to put blame on the victims, it’s shocking and disguising. Unbelievable!
I still remember, I still cry, and I still get angry and anxious whenever I see situations where something like this could happen again, how society still doesn't learn to prevent, and to respect
Since I was there that night one road away at around 9/10pm, it was too close to home to watch any documentaries about it, but this is the first one and it's made me appreciate and mourn a lot of things. But mostly I just hope that everyone involved, who is left, or gone, finds peace.
To the girl i know u feel guilt towards your friend death but ur life is just as important you have alot to do in this life whether you belive it or not. If you want to honour your friend embrace the past and live in the now, take charge of your life get back in the game of life, go on with college and make something of the life you still have. To the guy who is rocked with guilt, don't regret your time with her. It never last but it was wonderful while it lasted, all things happen for a reason. It's heart breaking to lose someone you love but they would not want you to pause life and stop living because they are not here, be strong know u did your best, make something of your life you now have guardian angel looking out for you❤ i hope you both cherish the 2nd chance of life you have as you too could have not been here, make your lover/ friend proud that you survive and is thriving.
Thank you for making this video. My heart goes out to victims and their families & loved ones. survivors please hang in there, things will get better, you will never forget but you will heals, I promise. ❤
I grew up in NYC, so I never thought of crowds as dangerous until I watched a documentary about the Hillsborough disaster. From that, I realized there is a science to crowd control that must be carefully managed by people who know what they’re doing. When they don’t… disaster. I took my out of town cousins to the Winter Village at Bryant Park this past Christmas. I hadn’t been in that area around that time of years for years. Certainly not since the pandemic. While it had always been crowded with tourists and NYers alike trying to see the tree and soak up the festive atmosphere. This was the first time I felt afraid. The crowd was of a size that I’d never experienced. We were being crushed on all sides - not like in the video, but I can understand what they’re talking about. I remember turning to my cousins saying this is dangerous. They agreed, and we left. I don’t plan to go back for Christmas. I think it’s an accident waiting to happen if crowds of that size continue
I'm a Korean studies major and have lived in Korea for a little over 10 months now. Last year on the exact same day I was still in my country and we organized a halloween party for our Korean studies department. Somehow, the party was kinda dead and when I went home I heard about the news. I was devastated and still can't get over it. I actually live close to Itaewon, it's pretty much the neighborhood next to me, however, until today I avoid Itaewon at all costs and only go to the area around Hangangjin. It just hurts too much thinking about what happened to all those beautiful souls. When I first came to Korea I went to the city hall and saw people demonstrating for justice, I froze at the sight of this and almost started crying.
I haven't seen the video yet, but I can't believe it's already been a year since the tragedy. I am from the US and was devastated when I first heard the news. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the families and friends of the fallen and thoughtful wishes to the survivors.
No words to say 😢😢😢😢all these people need everyone's support..they survived..why some cruel people are criticizing about the young people who wanted to have fun..they should critcized the government that didn't do anything to avoid this tragedy and didn't punish all those who were responsible..
Well done documentary..very very sad..my heart goes out to the survivors especially and hope they can find the strength and courage to go on and find meaning in their lives, which is what their loved ones would want. I will remember them in my prayers always.
진짜 돌아가신 분들 한분 한분 보는데 마음이 미어집니다. 부디 평안하시길 바라고 생존자분들은 정말 상상도 못할 정도의 트라우마와 아픔이 있으시겠지만 통제와 사고방지를 못한 정부 탓이지 본인들 탓이 아니니 절대 죄책감 가지지 마시고 힘드시겠지만 천천히 한발 한발 나아가셔서 다시 조금이나마 일상의 행복을 찾으실수 있기를 간절히 바라요 🤍 온 마음으로 응원합니다
How can some people say that they do not deserve a memorial just because they were having fun? Partying is normal, going out with your friends is normal. I really hope the survivors can found peace
the government and the police failed all of them so bad. many emergency calls were ignored or not taken seriously. a friend of mine even said it was expected that so many people would go out partying after covid. so WHY does the police and the gov didnt thought it was neccessary to station more of their men in the city and around narrow alleys? that doesnt get inside my head. this could had been prevented
I was there. But I didn't get out of the subway station as the crowd started there and I didn't want to spend a stressful evening so I turned back with my friend and we went to Hongdae ..The next day was a Sunday and I went out because I couldn't breathe at home anymore because of the tragedy which effected me. But I was shocked to see that right the next day there was everywhere K-Pop music coming out the speakers of the shops and restaurants ( I expected that they would turn off the music as a sign of sympathy!) and people were dating, families were laughing and having a nice time... To see that Koreans had no sympathy for their own people shocked me so much. I was just crying..I'll never understand.
Just heartbreaking.... Its so hard to even comprehend... I really hope the friends and family members that are still here can continue moving forward, with their memories in their hearts, try to live their best life for themselves and for the loved ones they've lost
Being in Seoul on this exact day i was out in hongdae instead of itaewon (was about to head there but told by MANY do not come to itaewon) This day and event will always linger at the back of my head as i visit korea almost yearly. Rest easy those who are not with us today. Society is becoming to numb to real events and its becoming a scary world. Hope all who were within the area on that night get help they need and deserve it will take a lifetime to heal.
Juna you mentioned no one remembers the accident- if it brings you any peace, I remember, from halfway across the world. Hoping for your continued recovery and happiness. Please find a way to believe you do deserve happiness, it doesn’t mean you are forgetting your friend. Fighting!
Barely made it past the 17min mark and I can’t help but cry. It’s so heartbreaking. I need to take some deep breaths before I continue watching… this shouldn’t have happened 😢
I can fathom at least 10% of how they felt because I feel that crushed feeling every morning in the subway during rush hour... but still I can't imagine how they felt, it's such a tragedy and should never happen again
This is so heartbreaking, but thank you for making this, I pray for these people who shared on what happened during the night at Itaewon, may they find peace and also healing on their hearts
no words at all… my heart goes out to those affected… life is so incredibly precious we always forget that something could happen around the corner to you and your loved ones 😢
It feel so hard for me to watch all of the Itaewon tragedy last year. It must be really hard for the family of the victims. May God gives the family strengths and may the victims rest in peace.
I remember seeing a picture of Genego Limamu, a black guy with blanket over his body on the street but his arm with a watch was out, I never forget it and was wondering why nobody posted his picture anywhere because I knew he was black foreigner who had died too. Instantly, I knew that was him, even though I never met him, now I know his name.
My heart aches so much. I can't stop thinking "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry". These people are fighting such difficulties... I'm so sorry. Thank you for being brave and sharing your story. Thank you for keeping fighting. For being alive. Soon will be Halloween again, I hope no one will forget... and be careful.
As someone who was there and narrowly avoided the worst by simply going down another alleyway, this documentary hit me hard. I still find it difficult to go into tight spaces and avoid places with too many people after everything. I grieve all these beautiful humans who were simple there to have fun and enjoy a night out. It was a tragedy that should have never happened, but thank you for this documentary to allow people to share their stories and I can learn more about those who are no longer with us. Thank you.
what made you decide another alleyway instead? luck or choice?
are you seoul local or a tourist if u dont mind us knowing
Same, I was there and I was lucky
15:17 - The father who tried to hold back his tears while laughed when he said "she is gone" made me cry instead. To all parents who are so strong, I pray that your remaining life will be less painful and you deserve to see all kids again in Heaven.
😢
It feels wrong to like this video, but i thought it was well made. No sensationalization, no dramatization. Only reminded us how fickle life is. Appreciate every day, cherish those around you. Be aware of your surroundings. Look out for one another
I'm cheering for Juna's recovery! It really sounds like things have been hard for her and it's understandable but I hope she knows how precious she is and that she deserves to live as much as she wishes Chaerim did.
I took a picture at that alley with my wife a few days prior to the Itaewon Crowd Crush incident. It is on my instagram page. Seeing that picture now sends chills to my spine. We were supposed to go back there to experience the halloween celebrations but I'm so thankful we decided to skip Itaewon and head to another place instead. I grieve for all the victims and survivors of this incident and my heart truly goes out to them. I cannot imagine losing my loved ones this way. 😭
I got chills also looking back at the photos I have taken way back in 2016. We really would not know what disaster awaits even in most beautiful places.
What’s ur ig I would like to see it
This is so heartbreaking to watch, but thank you for making this documentary to commemorate all the victims and allow survivors to share their stories as a means to process this tragedy. This truly was a reminder for myself to treasure every second of life and be grateful that I can still strive for my dreams no matter how tiring it might seem. My heart goes out to all the survivors and families. Thank you to those like Jinuk who leaped in to help that day without hesitation, you are truly heroes.❤️
i won’t lie this documentary has a heavy impact on me personally. It was hard to watch without getting emotional regardless of not knowing the people… I hope everyone else in this video is gonna be able to recover and try their best to live their life to the fullest.
The fact that people started reporting more than 4 hours before the tragedy is what makes my blood boil.. Complete failure of the police and the fire department, as well as the government (which has still not taken any accountability for this accident). Ridiculous
Fire Department have nothing to do with the issues. Local Government and Police are responsible for crowd control. Further to this cctv street cameras are linked to local security / government, so they have the historical and real time data + knowing about the history of the alleyway, all they needed was 10-20 traffic controllers / private security, a few police and the transportation to shut off station during particular time. Why are the first responders being blamed.
I was here as well with a couple friends. We began getting swept up by the crowd, so we escaped into the first club we saw that had the shortest line. I can't really explain how it feels to be forcibly swept up by the people around you. The way Byeongu described it as a 'big wave' is pretty much the most accurate way I would describe it. We had to cling to the barricade beside us. We finally made it in, and maybe 20 minutes later we began getting Korean citizen alerts to our phones that there had been some kind of 'accident'. At first it was reported as an injury or two, then one death, then our phones started pinging non-stop as more built up. We were in the alley that Byeongu said they walked down at 7:36. Can't even explain what it was like when we came back outside.
With how crowded that entire area was, it could've happened anywhere. But I've been in the alley where the crush happened a thousand times... imho the steep slope was its doom (along with some insane people who thought it was a great idea to push and the horrendous timing of police). No way a street with that build could aid in a rush like a flat surface could. Once the initial people in the front went down, there was no chance. Not only were they crushed, but those who were standing who had nowhere to go. They were crushed and killed still upright. It was like the bottom of that alley was a pit.
Thank you for this, and how much you focused on the victims and their families/loved ones. It's hard to really find meaning in any of what happened, but at least celebrating those lost is something worthwhile.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We hope you stay safe and healthy.
This is heartbreaking on another level. The fact that after being saved from the crowd crush most victims stayed to save their friends, loved ones, and strangers and have to do the CPR themselves was truly soul crushing. I hope the survivors will heal and find peace in their hearts that it was never their fault.😢
I wish I could give a real hug to the survivors of this video. You guys need our support ❤
The beginning with all the videos and images of the victims are heartbreaking seeing how full of life they all were.
This documentary was informative, touching, and a great tribute to both the souls lost and survivors of the Itaewon crush. I commend the team who put this together for honoring the stories of all those affected in such a tasteful and respectful way.
These stories are heartbreaking, I can’t imagine how scary that was, something that would haunt you for a long time. My heart goes out to all the loved ones of those who didn’t make it.
its so insane how the government, the police, no organization that were at fault apologized. it's just crazy.
Yes, they did!
Apologising would be like admitting blame which could get them in a lot of trouble
They end up blaming the Fire Chief who were the first responders due to negligence of the Local Government and Police.
@@StanChunghaOrGoHome lmao and thats not their fault which everyone with eyes can see?
I feel tremendously for them all, but especially the first girl. I hope she has friends and family checking up on her, because you can tell she's still taking it extremely hard one year later.
It disgusts me that both the Korean government and police keep passing the buck on responsibility regarding this tragedy. Don't get me started on how they treated the deceased foreigners.
Juna if you are reading this, I will be praying for you. Stay strong! I believe Chaerim would want you to be strong and continue living your life. I’m rooting for your recovery!
K-Doc, thank you for creating such a beautiful, poignant tribute to the Itaewon crowd crush victims. You showed how alive, how beautiful, how full of hope, how much like their peers, these young men and women were. May their souls rest in peace. I am so sad that these promising young lives were so unfairly and abruptly cut short. The Korean government has not taken responsibility for this tragic incident; however, I do genuinely believe that South Korea will learn from this and never, ever, allow this to happen again. That is the real change that must happen. Genuine, procedural change so that other events like this simply end with the evening turning into morning, and not tragedy. It was heartbreaking watching the young man remember his fiancée, I cannot imagine the self-doubt he must be experiencing. Or the father who so desperately misses his daughter. He said her baby photos do not make him sad, but her current photos hurt him so much. Because the adult he raised, his lovely daughter who spent years studying to pass her exams, no longer exists. And the poor girl who lost her friend in the crush. Not only does she have to deal with her loss, but she is physically injured and has severe nerve damage in her lower body. I agree... it must be extremely difficult watching her friends live their lives as she sorrowfully and painfully lives in the past. How very hard every single day must be? And at the end of the video, when the young man says he believes in "parallel theory," in an alternate universe where he and his fiancée are living happily. It's what I would've thought, I would've desperately grabbed for this, and for a brief moment, I genuinely felt his loss.
The people of South Korea are still in deep pain from this incident... it hurts terribly. I cried while watching one of the documentaries of this incident. My heart goes out to all those that have lost their loved oned. May all the souls lost in this incident rest in peace... Amen
Do you have a link to that documentary?

I really want to hug Juna, that strong girl who has beautiful smile. I want hug her, comfort her, and telling her that her best friend will so proud of her if she continues her life with smile and remember her in a good mermories. Juna, Chaerim is proud of you, will always do. Please be strong and live happily. You deserve all the world.
Such a sensitive and loving documentary. A piece of art. You made us all feel so deeply and connect with both the survivors and the victims. Our hearts break
At the time, I was checking the updates about the incident on Twitter. As distressed as I felt about it then, I think even I, who lives in a whole different place in the world, will always remember what happened that day and feel very sorry about it. I didn‘t know one person that is sadly not among us anymore, but I will think of them from time to time and their loved ones who are grieving. I want to do nothing else but to apologise to every single one of them. This shouldn‘t have happened, and precautions should‘ve been applied way more intensively. I want to remember every single person that suffered from this accident and I will try to live my life to the fullest for them. I hope everyone can stop hurting.
This was so hard to watch. My heart goes out to each one of these people who lost loved ones.
A very sensitively shot documentary. I can understand all the thoughts of the survivors, I would certainly feel the same way. The strength of the survivors to talk about it or to give an interview shows that they want to live, but have not yet found a way to make it work. I still can't understand how so many people lost their lives so quickly.
This is sad and heartbreaking and the fact that they could even speak about this is brave cause I’d cry every second they lost their kids , friends , significant others brothers , sisters and a celeb died like all in 1 night and nobody seen it coming and they just wanted to have fun the fact that they probably will remember this every Halloween and always feel pain during that day is sad honestly and the fact that they seen people die in front of their faces is traumatizing I hope the people close to everyone and that passed are resting in peace and I hope these people can go back to living a peaceful life and just remember the good things about their loved ones cause this is unfortunate and the worst pain to feel honestly 💔
One of my friends literally had to climb up a building pipe to escape the crowd. He suffered severe cuts on his hands and legs because of the climb. I am so sorry so many young people lose their lives 😢
This video is so so important. It shows the victims were just normal people trying to have fun, not drunk teenagers pushing and shoving eachother. There was so much misinformation at the time and people victim blaming online. What happened was not these people’s fault.
A wonderful tribute with a beautiful soundtrack, those baby pictures are so touching.
I visited Korea one month before the tragedy. Since I became older, I don’t enjoy going out anymore, and can’t stand crowded and noisy environments.
What I noticed in Korea, some bars and clubs are concentrated on very narrow streets.
In Busan, my hotel was located downtown, I had to pass by a very crowded area with many bars. Just a regular evening but it was so packed everywhere, I could barely walk and got out as fast as possible.
Then, I was thinking « that’s total madness, what would happened on special day or Saturday evening ». And then, this horrific incident …
I can’t imagine the pain they went through. The guy who lost his fiancée, that’s terribly sad.
Losing a child is also an unbearable tragedy that no parent should ever experience.
May they rest in peace.
My heart goes out the the survivors and the families w lost ones, I remember panicking that day texting my friends to make sure they were all okay
I’m so sorry for everyone’s loss. It was such a tragic loss. They are all the guardian angels that nobody expected to have. The pain is heartbreaking and they all seemed so special in their own way. May the rest in heaven and May the family and loved ones of each of these angels find the strength through the memories to move forward.🙏🏼❤️🩹
I remember this day like it was yesterday. I’m a Korean American but my family lives in Korea and I was visiting them for the month of October, and my friends wanted to tag along with me so we can all have a vacation for 1 month. We wanted to go to Itaewon to celebrate Halloween, and if I remember correctly the actual Halloween day was on a weekday, so we knew the Friday and Saturday were going to be the best days. We went Friday, and it was a blast but I remember how packed it was and how busy the entire street was, but of course nothing happened that night. The next day we were all so hungover but still planned to head over since we figured it was probably going to be more fun. I can’t remember the exact time but after dinner I had a really bad food coma and took a nap and our original plan was to get there by 10pm or so. But because I took so long, we ended up leaving our Airbnb at 11pm. The subway was super busy and I remember when we got off the subway for itaewon, the entire floor was filled with people in costumes. Everyone was so excited, including me. But I could immediately tell that there were way more people than the night before. Once we got out the exit, I forgot what exit number it was but basically if anyone remembers the news photo that the Korean police took of the dead bodies with the blue tarp over them…that’s basically where we were. I forgot the actual time the crowd crush happened, but if I remember correctly we got there approximately 11:20-30?Somewhere around there. Once we got there, all I could hear was the police yelling, people crying, and 80% of people just talking and being confused. I actually recorded a video coming out the subway exit because it was so busy and I was so excited. In the video we immediately saw people on the ground giving cpr to probably at least 50 people, and I asked my friend “yo is this like a Halloween skit?” Because we were so close you could see streams of blood coming out of peoples mouths on the ground (TMI and graphic, I know). And then I put my phone away and knew something was forsure wrong. Meanwhile as this was all happening, the clubs are all still blasting music, across the street we could see people partying and drinking, and I just remember being so shocked at what was going on. And eventually I vividly remember a lot of the people performing cpr who were drenched in sweat, deciding to give up and the medical people covering the bodies with blue tarp. I remember getting goosebumps because everyone there knew those people were not coming back. We knew the vibes were off that night after seeing something like that so we decided not to go and drink and instead grab a late night dinner. And during that time me and my friends were talking how initially they were all mad at me for lagging that night, but seeing what happened raised the question “imagine if you didn’t sleep and we went to itaewon on time…” it still gives me chills thinking about it. I remember calling my mom right away before she heard the news so that she would know I was okay, she was going crazy for weeks after telling me not to go drink and go to tight places. She still does now. It’s almost been 2 years since this incident and I went back to Korea in January of this year (2024), and back to itaewon where this happened during the day and they had a whole memorial with personal notes and it was really beautiful. Really hoping something like this never happens again.
Thank you for sharing this whole story. It should not have happened .. I don’t understand they all expected how many people would be crowded, why even there wasn’t one person who managed this crowded stuff
Thank you, for being brave and open. Our love remains strong for those who can no longer be with us. 💓
So sad. So many young people that died and so many that were left behind broken. Why isn’t the city taking responsibility…?
Juna really needs help. I wish I could hug her and console her. Such a poor soul. It was not her fault that her friend died.
from way they talked to the way they tells us that they really arent doing well after the crowd crush and arent able to move on. Those lovely souls who passed away are surely cheering on them...May god bless all of them
Thank you for this documentary and including English subtitles. My heart goes out to the survivors, family and friends of those who tragically lost their lives. It is clear from the interview's, that these precious people are suffering from post traumatic stress disorder. I hope and pray the survivors will come to realiae they are worthy of living. Their loved ones would want them to be happy. I realise this is still early days and they are still grieving. I just want to give them all a hug and take their pain away. It is so tragic that people lost their lives. I hope you will share a follow up on those interviewed. I am genuinely rooting for them, that they will begin to see they are precious and deserve a happy life. God Bless.
It is hard to watch this happy day go so wrong so quick , my heart goes out to you
Watching this was so heartbreaking. I'm crying in the midnight now. Rest in peace.
This was very heartbreaking to watch. Such a traumatic experience for the survivors and the loved ones left behind by the deceased. I just wanted to say to all the survivors that what happened was NOT your fault. You have done nothing wrong, please don’t try to blame yourself while yourself is already so shattered deep down. Life is short and hard, so bury the loss and keep living as best as you can. You all deserve happiness. ❤
I was there at that time. I am a foreigner living in Korea, after this tragedy, I was in shock for 3 days. I can't relive those memories (ever) getting goosebumps.
omg seriously broke my heart to see this but K-Doc did a wonderful documentary honoring the victims. makes me so pissed that people would actually blame those that died there for being at itaewon? I mean some people are just curious to see itaewon halloween vibes, not like they are doing anything illegal or bad!? I can't imagine any parents having to lose their child. :(. Sangeun Father- him nae sae yo! Sangeun is an angel looking down at you from heaven! Juna hwaiting on continued recovery & I hope Juna & Byungwoo do not feel survivors guilt-- it is not their fault!! And Jinuk - poor guy was trying to save people's lives and now has ptsd. He's a HERO! I hope he knows that!!!
A year later & it is still immensely heartbreaking...may the 159 beautiful souls rest in eternal peace, Amen..
I cannot personally begin to imagine a year later how devastated people must be from the experience. God bless all who loss their loved ones 🫶🏻
I’m crying so hard. I pray for all the survivors and the families
"We'll be rescued soon." Something one of the kids said on the Sewol tragedy. And again we are watching the same with the itaewon tragedy. When will korea gonna learn?!
That Sewol tragedy was really heartbreaking. So, many students could have been rescued, but they didn't. 😢
A tragedy that was still fresh in many peoples minds. Families even brought the tragedy up when this happened.
K-DOC, I appreciate your programming and creating documentaries covering topics that you rarely see elsewhere. It makes me appreciate my life so much more.
Thank you for making this video. I feel so sorry for all the losses so many people went - and still go - through. June, you are strong. Doing this video is just one example of your strength. I am sending you positive energy.
I was there too but luckily me and my friends arrived after it happened, without even knowing something happened until the police stopped our taxi and said we couldn’t go further in this direction. So we walked a short distance and saw the aftermath when we got there. 😢
thank you for bravely sharing your stories with your raw emotions. I resonate a lot with Juna's fear of forgetting and my heart breaks seeing how she's at war with her emotions & thoughts.
I hope you know that even as it gets difficult and you may feel weak, that even choosing to wake up each day and breathe is a display of strength. I've recently lost someone very dear to me too and I'm sending sincere love & prayers from this side of the world to you.
why i watched this? this is so heartbreaking 😢 every single of them are so strong and doing a interview about something so painful...
i wish i could give juna a big hug and take all her pain away.
I'm over in Arizona and I remember watching peoples lives that night enjoying the night life when it all happened. I don't remember who's live I was watching just that there was a loud yell, a lag and the feed was lost. So I assumed someone just dropped and broke their phone.
Then the live feeds and videos of people being crushed started to came out and it was so hard to see. However it might be strange to say this , but I felt like someone needed to watch, and pray for them after all thats all I could do. Those people were alone and scared and I felt as though I needed to keep telling them to just keep hanging on even when your million of miles away. I cried so hard for long there wasnt much information at that time, but I can still see the face of people that did not survive.
I think about that night a lot and just how much of a shock it still is. Hearing these story's break my heart all over again, but i'm thankful people made it out alive. The PTSD is unimageable as i'm sure it is for so many that were there. There were so many beautiful souls lost that night .......my deepest condolences.
I will be visiting Korea for the first time in 2 years and I will be leaving flower for those who have lost their lives. I want to pay my respects to them and their familys. I know this maybe hard to watch and hard to talk about, but its helping us all never forget just how delicate life can be.
A sensitive and thoughtful tribute
I had to stop watching because I still get chills every time I hear about the crush, and I wasn't even there. But I had friends there and let me tell you the grieve I felt while living the whole incident through twitter while trying to get more information about the situation, is amazingly heartbreaking. I feel like this tragedy marks a whole generation, including myself and it hits the hardest knowing most of the victims were my age, so it feels close to me. I was already claustrophobic but now I struggle going into crowds too. This documentary felt like releasing some of that pain. I remember watching the pictures raw while it was happening and feeling so useless since I couldn't do anything, it was just sad, so my heart goes to the families and friends, and of course the rescue teams for being so strong and resilient. I hope talking and sharing their stories heals them as much as they need. Don't keep anything and please know that you guys are not alone and shouldn't feel guilty for it. Thank you for opening and to us and thank you to the team for being so respectful to everyone.
to all the survivors, i hope you recover from this tragedy. and family of the deceased, i prayed for you to recover from the pain, and have peace.
Juna baby, there’s a reason for everything. Including your life. There’s a big purpose and bigger life ahead. Be strong, and remember Chaerim in good memories. I cheer for you forever.
The first 5minute’s of watching the video I already wanted too cry😢.
This is so heartbreaking and unfair, my heart is heavy and with the family and friends who lost someone
The part about the father really hurt his daughter is so beautiful and looks like she lived an amazing life
An amazing life that was tragically cut short. All because the police didn't prepare for this.
This is so heartbreaking. I remember watching the news and RUclips here in California when this happened. I am so very sorry for all the lost souls and broken survivors and families. I wish you peace. For the people who have the audacity to try to put blame on the victims, it’s shocking and disguising. Unbelievable!
So heartbreaking how many young souls we lost that day, who had so much to live for…may they rest in peace
I still remember, I still cry, and I still get angry and anxious whenever I see situations where something like this could happen again, how society still doesn't learn to prevent, and to respect
Since I was there that night one road away at around 9/10pm, it was too close to home to watch any documentaries about it, but this is the first one and it's made me appreciate and mourn a lot of things. But mostly I just hope that everyone involved, who is left, or gone, finds peace.
To the girl i know u feel guilt towards your friend death but ur life is just as important you have alot to do in this life whether you belive it or not. If you want to honour your friend embrace the past and live in the now, take charge of your life get back in the game of life, go on with college and make something of the life you still have.
To the guy who is rocked with guilt, don't regret your time with her. It never last but it was wonderful while it lasted, all things happen for a reason. It's heart breaking to lose someone you love but they would not want you to pause life and stop living because they are not here, be strong know u did your best, make something of your life you now have guardian angel looking out for you❤ i hope you both cherish the 2nd chance of life you have as you too could have not been here, make your lover/ friend proud that you survive and is thriving.
Thank you for making this video. My heart goes out to victims and their families & loved ones. survivors please hang in there, things will get better, you will never forget but you will heals, I promise. ❤
I grew up in NYC, so I never thought of crowds as dangerous until I watched a documentary about the Hillsborough disaster. From that, I realized there is a science to crowd control that must be carefully managed by people who know what they’re doing. When they don’t… disaster. I took my out of town cousins to the Winter Village at Bryant Park this past Christmas. I hadn’t been in that area around that time of years for years. Certainly not since the pandemic. While it had always been crowded with tourists and NYers alike trying to see the tree and soak up the festive atmosphere. This was the first time I felt afraid. The crowd was of a size that I’d never experienced. We were being crushed on all sides - not like in the video, but I can understand what they’re talking about. I remember turning to my cousins saying this is dangerous. They agreed, and we left. I don’t plan to go back for Christmas. I think it’s an accident waiting to happen if crowds of that size continue
I am so sorry, My heart breaks every time I hear the stories! it Is so sad!
I'm a Korean studies major and have lived in Korea for a little over 10 months now. Last year on the exact same day I was still in my country and we organized a halloween party for our Korean studies department. Somehow, the party was kinda dead and when I went home I heard about the news. I was devastated and still can't get over it. I actually live close to Itaewon, it's pretty much the neighborhood next to me, however, until today I avoid Itaewon at all costs and only go to the area around Hangangjin. It just hurts too much thinking about what happened to all those beautiful souls. When I first came to Korea I went to the city hall and saw people demonstrating for justice, I froze at the sight of this and almost started crying.
Rest in Peace to all those poor souls who were lost🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
I haven't seen the video yet, but I can't believe it's already been a year since the tragedy. I am from the US and was devastated when I first heard the news. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the families and friends of the fallen and thoughtful wishes to the survivors.
I feel so bad for everyone, especially the father and parents. No parent should bury their child, that’s what how life was supposed to be.
Juna you are not alone. You matter. Take your time to heal. Live for your friend who is cheering for you on the other side.
No words to say 😢😢😢😢all these people need everyone's support..they survived..why some cruel people are criticizing about the young people who wanted to have fun..they should critcized the government that didn't do anything to avoid this tragedy and didn't punish all those who were responsible..
I speak complete healing to everyone that's gone through/going through hard times ❤
Thank you for this documentary.
Well done documentary..very very sad..my heart goes out to the survivors especially and hope they can find the strength and courage to go on and find meaning in their lives, which is what their loved ones would want. I will remember them in my prayers always.
I would like to give a hug to each one of them specially to Juna 😢
진짜 돌아가신 분들 한분 한분 보는데 마음이 미어집니다. 부디 평안하시길 바라고 생존자분들은 정말 상상도 못할 정도의 트라우마와 아픔이 있으시겠지만 통제와 사고방지를 못한 정부 탓이지 본인들 탓이 아니니 절대 죄책감 가지지 마시고 힘드시겠지만 천천히 한발 한발 나아가셔서 다시 조금이나마 일상의 행복을 찾으실수 있기를 간절히 바라요 🤍 온 마음으로 응원합니다
My Heart goes out to all of you stay strong ❤
How can some people say that they do not deserve a memorial just because they were having fun? Partying is normal, going out with your friends is normal. I really hope the survivors can found peace
Such a beautiful tribute to these beautiful lives cut too short. Much love from the US ❤
the government and the police failed all of them so bad. many emergency calls were ignored or not taken seriously. a friend of mine even said it was expected that so many people would go out partying after covid. so WHY does the police and the gov didnt thought it was neccessary to station more of their men in the city and around narrow alleys? that doesnt get inside my head. this could had been prevented
I was there. But I didn't get out of the subway station as the crowd started there and I didn't want to spend a stressful evening so I turned back with my friend and we went to Hongdae ..The next day was a Sunday and I went out because I couldn't breathe at home anymore because of the tragedy which effected me. But I was shocked to see that right the next day there was everywhere K-Pop music coming out the speakers of the shops and restaurants ( I expected that they would turn off the music as a sign of sympathy!) and people were dating, families were laughing and having a nice time... To see that Koreans had no sympathy for their own people shocked me so much. I was just crying..I'll never understand.
Just heartbreaking.... Its so hard to even comprehend... I really hope the friends and family members that are still here can continue moving forward, with their memories in their hearts, try to live their best life for themselves and for the loved ones they've lost
Being in Seoul on this exact day i was out in hongdae instead of itaewon (was about to head there but told by MANY do not come to itaewon) This day and event will always linger at the back of my head as i visit korea almost yearly. Rest easy those who are not with us today. Society is becoming to numb to real events and its becoming a scary world. Hope all who were within the area on that night get help they need and deserve it will take a lifetime to heal.
I hope all these survivors heal and take the time to recover. It's never your fault and I pray you are healthy and happy...God bless
Juna you mentioned no one remembers the accident- if it brings you any peace, I remember, from halfway across the world. Hoping for your continued recovery and happiness. Please find a way to believe you do deserve happiness, it doesn’t mean you are forgetting your friend. Fighting!
Barely made it past the 17min mark and I can’t help but cry. It’s so heartbreaking. I need to take some deep breaths before I continue watching… this shouldn’t have happened 😢
I’m in tears😩😩😩😩. So young…..
My heart goes out to all their families and loved ones. I pray they rest in peace.
I can fathom at least 10% of how they felt because I feel that crushed feeling every morning in the subway during rush hour... but still I can't imagine how they felt, it's such a tragedy and should never happen again
This is so heartbreaking, but thank you for making this, I pray for these people who shared on what happened during the night at Itaewon, may they find peace and also healing on their hearts
May her family stray strong and him... My heart is bleeding
They are 2 years old now ❤❤❤ best wishes to them and their family ❤
So heartbreaking this video so sadly for this people i will give them a real hug😢❤
no words at all… my heart goes out to those affected… life is so incredibly precious we always forget that something could happen around the corner to you and your loved ones 😢
주나 씨, 아주 잘 하고 있어요. 좋은 친구이고 좋은 사람이예요. 힘들겠지만 계속 화이팅해요. 필리핀에서 응원할게요
It feel so hard for me to watch all of the Itaewon tragedy last year. It must be really hard for the family of the victims. May God gives the family strengths and may the victims rest in peace.
I feel so sorry to thise who lost loved ones in the crowd crush
I remember seeing a picture of Genego Limamu, a black guy with blanket over his body on the street but his arm with a watch was out, I never forget it and was wondering why nobody posted his picture anywhere because I knew he was black foreigner who had died too. Instantly, I knew that was him, even though I never met him, now I know his name.
That is so sad. But you saw him. He was seen. You were his angel.
My heart aches so much. I can't stop thinking "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry". These people are fighting such difficulties... I'm so sorry. Thank you for being brave and sharing your story. Thank you for keeping fighting. For being alive. Soon will be Halloween again, I hope no one will forget... and be careful.
