Fifty-nine people died and 150 others were injured in a stampede in Seoul as a huge crowd poured into a central district of the South Korean capital for Halloween festivities Saturday, according to local reports.
The Associated Press reported on the casualties, citing the chief of Seoul’s Yongsan fire department. The death toll could grow as emergency workers continue to transport the injured to hospitals across Seoul.
