Seoul’s alleyways are narrow and very steep with stairways in a lot of places, where a lot of the bars are located. If a person trips its like a “Domino” affect causing a cascade of people falling over each other buried under a waterfall of falling people.

@beegchunguz7425 They were tightly packed together and when the first one trips and falls grabbing others nearby, panic starts as the weight of people starts piling down on them. Like drowning people grabbing others to stay above the water, the people at the bottom fights to get the weight of others off them. Soldiers in marching formation will keep a minimum distance when marching. The people were so close together that they couldn’t shift their feet for balance once someone lost their balance and added their weight to them, thus the “Domino” affect of falling.
