Itaewon disaster, one year on

A year has passed since a crowd crush in an alley in central Seoul's Itaewon took 159 lives. It was a human disaster that could - and should - have been prevented had the governing mechanism and administrative system in this country worked normally. However, neither the police nor the central and local governments did their job properly. In the aftermath of the catastrophe, officials passed the buck to one another. After the police investigated the police, no responsible officials are now behind bars.
