Choi Seong-beom, chief of Seoul's Yongsan fire department, said the death toll could grow as emergency workers were continuing to transport the injured to hospitals across Seoul following the stampede on Saturday night.
The incident took place at about 10:20 p.m. after a large crowd began pushing forward in a narrow alley near Hamilton Hotel, a major party spot in Seoul. "A number of people fell during a Halloween festival, and we have a large number of casualties," Choi Cheon-sik from the National Fire Agency said. Many of those killed were at a nearby nightclub, he said. 150 dead (video screenshot)
