In a Seoul gymnasium, rows of trainers, high heels, jackets, and Halloween accessories lie spread out on the floor. They are all numbered in the hope that their owners will come and find them. Many may never be collected.
They belong to victims and survivors of last Saturday’s crowd crush in Seoul, which has so far killed 156 people. Ninety-four per cent of the dead were in their teens, 20s, and 30s.
