The deadly South Korea crowd crush is just the latest in a series of tragic accidents where people can 'die standing up'. 9News
Rescue workers carry injuried people at the street near the scene in Seoul, South Korea, early Sunday, Oct. 30, 2022. South Korean officials said around 50 people were in cardiac arrest and a number feared dead after being crushed by a large crowd pushing forward on a narrow street during Halloween festivities in the capital Seoul.
People die standing up and those who fall die because the bodies on top of them exert such pressure that breathing becomes impossible.Stewards and supporters tend and care for wounded supporters on the field at Hillsborough Stadium, in Sheffield, England, April 15, 1989. Survivors tell stories of gasping for breath, being pushed deeper under what feels like an avalanche of flesh as others, desperate to escape, climb over them.“Survivors described being gradually compressed, unable to move, their heads ‘locked between arms and shoulders ... faces gasping in panic,’” according to a report after a human crush in 1989 at the Hillsborough soccer stadium in Sheffield, England, led to the death of nearly 100 Liverpool fans.
In Nepal in 1988, it was a sudden downpour that sent soccer fans rushing toward locked stadium exits, leading to the deaths of 93 fans.
