Isn’t crowd crush a serious problem everywhere? I’m from the states and I can’t tell you how many people here have died like this but it definitely happens and it’s featured in news stories, referenced in television shows, etc.

…due to the use of some real world news footage from a 2022 crowd crush in Seoul’s Itaewon district which killed around 150 people.

It’s the first sentence of the article.
