I hate Halloween, the one “holiday” the US has managed to spread throughout the globe.

Was this the old 1950’s “Cram inside a phone booth” thing, only in a huge room or something????

There were reportedly 100,000 revellers in the area celebrating the first outdoor no-mask Halloween event since the pandemic.

Today in Berlin there was an abandoned bag at the train station that needed checking. So people were told to immediately leave the area. I ended up running down the street with a group of Halloween party people dressed as the Scooby-Doo Gang.

More people probably died from this accident in their age group than of Covid.

“I ended up running down the street with a group of Halloween party people dressed as the Scooby-Doo Gang.”

And you would’ve gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for those meddling kids! :)

Did Velma have a gay pride flag though?

Itaewon is adjacent to what used to be the big US military base in Seoul (Yongsan Garrison). I have no idea what it's like now, but the main drag through Itaewon used to be a pretty big international district lots of shops, bars, restaurants, some geared towards GIs, others not so much. Off the main drag was the notorious, "hooker hill," full of dive bars and juicy girls. This is where GIs would go to get in trouble. I would need more than both hands to count the number of military careers I know of that were ended because somebody went there to try Soju for the first time.

If Itaewon is still laid out like it was in the '90s, I'd wager the deaths occurred on or near hooker hill.

I’m sure we all have similar stories, but I was at a Springsteen concert in the mid 70’s at Oswego State, at their Men’s Gym. He had just come out with Born to Run, and his popularity was skyrocketing.

There was a small alcove that led to the entrance doors. We got there early, and were waiting in that alcove for the concert to begin.

As the crowd started to arrive, that alcove got more and more packed. The idiots in the back of the crowd started pushing toward the doors, and things got really scary. The people in the alcove had no where to go, and we had absolutely no control. Girls were screaming, and our bodies were being crushed to the point where it hurt and got hard to breathe.

Luckily, cooler heads prevailed and we got the crowd behind to back off. But it truly was one of the scarier moments of my life. We were helpless.

So my heart goes out to the people there. So frightening because it’s all so surreal. It’s the last thing you would think people could die from, when they were expecting something else, something fun.

It happened once to me here in the states getting main floor standing at a concert. I felt the crush, and the tremendous claustrophobia!! I NEVER put myself in that position again...
