At least 151 dead scholars in the Itaewon incident: The election campaign must also stay in a safe channel 2022-10-30 14:43 United The newspaper/reporter Yang Zhanhua /Taoyuan immediately reported that after a large-scale stampede occurred during the Halloween event in Itaewon, Seoul, South Korea on the evening of the 29th, the rescue operation was very difficult due to the narrow alley where the incident occurred. Rescuers had to do CPR for the injured at the scene. After a large-scale stampede occurred during a Halloween event in Itaewon, Seoul, South Korea on the evening of the 29th, rescue operations were very difficult due to the narrow alley where the incident occurred. Rescuers had to do CPR for the injured at the scene. At least 151 people are known to have been killed in a Halloween tragedy in Itaewon, South Korea . Scholars analyzed that the lack of safe passages at the event site led to delays in police and emergency rescue, which was one of the main causes of death. As my country's nine-in-one general election is approaching, all political parties, candidates and local governments should also implement the safety management of mass events, and make it clear Mark the moving lines, entrances and exits to avoid regrets. Some firefighters also pointed out that the "fighting" self-rescue method reported on the Internet can only be used for reference and should be prevented from the source. Wang, Po-Chi, associate professor of the Department of Criminal Justice at Ming Chuan University, pointed out that from the perspective of safety management, Itaewon is the first time to hold a large-scale Halloween event, and there are risk factors such as narrow alleys, slopes, and proximity to subway entrances and exits. In addition, there may be alcohol on the floor. , It is slippery and crowded in a short time. If you accidentally slip and fall, it will easily lead to a domino effect, and many people will be crushed to suffocation. Wang, Po-Chi said that large-scale domestic concerts, temple circumvention activities, political activities, etc. are also often crowded with people. The scene is crowded and can only be moved in small steps. It is difficult to get in and out; the recent election is approaching, there will inevitably be more large-scale events. Develop relevant safety plans. For example, in the Itaewon incident, ambulances and police were blocked from the crowd, delaying the golden rescue time. If the emergency passage was reserved, there would be no regrets. Wang, Po-Chi said that although my country's Ministry of the Interior and local governments have regulations related to the safety management of large-scale mass gatherings, the regulations are vague and only require the organizer to report the number of people accommodating, demarcating areas, access, evacuation, rescue and other safety and security measures. Traffic maintenance plan, but there are no specific control standards and normative measures. I have participated in major campaign activities in previous years, and I have not done any dredging action when I leave the venue. I call on the organizer to not only design in advance, but also have the obligation to disclose it through the media and cultural propaganda. The floor plan and moving line map are informed to the public to reduce the risk of scurrying, and emergency rescue channels are reserved. Regarding the suggestion of firefighters on the Internet to respond in a "fighting" posture, CHANG,YUNG-HSIANG, a senior ambulance technician of the Taoyuan Sanmin Fire Brigade, said that "cluster disasters" are prone to occur in religious, sports, festivals and political gatherings. It is just one of them. The most common cause of death is suffocation after falling to the ground. Firefighters do not have relevant self-rescue training. Therefore, the relevant "self-rescue skills" are for reference only. Most academic literature recommends starting from prevention, such as planning well in advance. Moving lines, doing total control, etc.
