South Korea: It is reported that, the first call to police from Itaewon came at 18:34 local time – several hours before the deadly crush took place. “That alley is really dangerous right now people going up and down, so people can’t come down, but people keep coming up, it’s gonna be crushed. I barely made it to get out but it’s too crowded. I think you should control it,” the caller said to the South Korea’s 112 emergency number. Earlier on Tuesday, South Korea’s police chief said their emergency response was “inadequate”, the first acknowledgement from officials that they did not do enough to prevent it.
