#Risk_Management: The death of at least 153 people in Seoul is a vivid example of the failure of law enforcement agencies to prevent a risk. Crowd control was ineffective or even absent. As a result, the uncontrolled mountain of the masses began to crush those who could not⤵️
escape. However, the question is what is behind this human negligence and error? In my opinion, there are several factors that led to this: 1) lack of previous similar events (no possibility of lessons learned); 2) the biases of the authorities and the people regarding the⤵️
risks to life due to massive concentrations in the street, which, unlike cases in stadiums, clubs, etc. are very rare; 3) underestimation of post-pandemic social behavior. The investigation will certainly find a culprit, but this tragedy looks like a “system failure”.
