No one's fault really. It was just a very unfortunate accident.

@@jasmithyantro9680 I would definitely blame government officials. A big failure on their part. One can always expect rowdiness with a very big crowd.

I mean not too long ago from this incident, there was a stampede at Travis Scott’s concert where people died as well and that was in the US which is developed too. It happens when the crowd control is not good ,. And the narrow alleyways of itaewon contributed with the loss of crowd control as well

@@Fartsquad_ A few deaths vs 159 deaths. I wasn't implying anything negative toward South Koreans. All I was saying South Korea got more than enough resources to maintain security and safety for the crowd was that huge.

howarddo8462 Yeah Ik you didn’t mean anything negative ,. But the stampedes were due to similar reasoning . Poor crowd control. It was probably better for the Travis Scott concert because it was an open arena. Whereas itaewon I heard was full of narrow alleyways. So that was probably what led to more death

Yes ..their consciousness are still alive and with loved ones ..they become their guardian angels

Very true.

It is the people who buy into the culture of mindless consumerism that overcrowded the streets that day, and some were just unlucky to lose their lives by getting crushed. Big corporations will always value their own interests, and they don't care about the unintended consequences as long as they make profit. People can either do something about the corporate consumerism's dominance on popular culture, or they can engage in the consumerist culture at their own discretion. Either way, one should reflect on the consequences of one's own choices, because ignorance sometimes can be fatal. It is laughable to see majority of Koreans blaming the state for what has occurred with the claim that the state failed to protect the crowd who were just out to enjoy themselves. Just because someone is a victim of an accident doesn't mean he is above any responsibility for what has occurred, and videos like this doesn't achieve much other than emotionally blackmailing the public. If this mother had taught her daughter about the risk of just mindlessly following the popular culture and going along with the crowd, her daughter wouldn't even have been there in the first place, and she may have gone on to achieve her dreams. The mother might be able to avoid guilt by blaming external factors, but that doesn't actually absolve her of what she failed to do as a parent. I hate to be so harsh, but if she lacks the concept of critical self-reflection, she wouldn't have been teach it to her daughter, and her daughter most likely would have gone onto harm herself and others one way or another as a result. While it is unfortunate for her to lose her daughter this way, those that are alive and must live on should seek to learn something positive out of this tragedy, because compulsive display of empathy isn't exactly going to help you live a better life.
