Rescuers attend to injured people on a street in Seoul's Itaewon, Oct. 30. Yonhap
A witness of the deadly Halloween crush in Seoul's Itaewon district that killed at least 154 people has shared his horrific experience of carrying dead bodies and watching people, many in their 20s, suffocate to death.
"I think I carried, like, 50 bodies," a man in his 20s working at a store in Itaewon told Yonhap News Agency on Sunday night. "All I could think was that I had to save just one more person."
At least 133 others were injured in Korea's deadliest crowd surge that happened in the famous nightlife district Saturday night, after tens of thousands of people visited the area for Halloween.
The witness, who requested anonymity, said once he had rushed to a narrow 3.2-meter-wide downhill alley, there were already people ― some unconscious ― trapped and trampled.
