A witness told BuzzFeed News she was making her way through the crowd when 'suddenly this wave of panic rushed us.' This story contains graphic photos and describes disturbing video.
"Even in the video we’re just casually meandering our way and suddenly this wave of panic rushed us," she said."So I stopped filming because it got too scary."
Story said she and her friends took cover in a nearby bar. They then tried to retrace their steps to head back to a different bar, but another person in the street told them to turn around because someone had passed out. "We heard a few other people say 'someone’s fainted' or 'someone’s passed out' and in Korean I could hear people saying 'go back' or 'turn around,'" she said."But in that moment - and even when I posted the video - I really only thought maybe it was one or two people that got caught in the stampede? I had NO idea the scale of it."
As they left the area, Story said she saw ambulances, fire trucks, and police vehicles make their way toward the alley."Even with all of that I still had no idea just how huge the tragedy would become," she said.
