Korea's melting pot community of Itaewon wary of fallout from deadly crowd crush

Jessy Crawford, a 29-year-old Canadian office worker, was on her first trip to Korea and Asia. For her and her Korean friends alike, the tragic crowd crush that claimed 156 lives on Saturday night was the last thing they imagined would happen during Halloween weekend. With five days left in Korea on Tuesday night, she paid a visit to the memorial site at exit 1 of Itaewon Station, just a few meters from where the crowd surged, to pay her respects to those who lost their lives.
