WARNING: This report contains references to suicide and death, which some viewers may find distressing.

It has been exactly six months since the Halloween night disaster in Seoul, South Korea, when some 160 people died in a crowd crush in the popular party district of Itaewon. Big questions remain about why so few police officers were on duty that night, and why emergency workers failed to respond in a timely manner.
