By Oliver SlowAfter more than 150 people died in a deadly crush in Seoul on Saturday night, the BBC looks at how the tragedy unfolded.
Last year the celebrations had been lively, but under control, with police preventing people from entering busy areas. Things were very different this year, he said. "We always go to this alley," he said. "I don't know why, but there are always good bars and people in costume." It was about 22:20 local time when the situation turned desperate. A number of people on the slope fell over, causing a massive crush. Crowds pressing from both ends of the narrow street meant no one could get out..
"There were so many people that they needed normal people to do CPR. So everyone started jumping in and help," Ana told the BBC. Initial reports said that about 50 people had suffered cardiac arrests - a common cause of death during a crush - but it was clear from grim photographs of body bags lining the streets that this was a major incident.
