In tears, Philomene Aby's hands shook as she asked workers at a South Korean community centre for any news of her 22-year-old son, missing in the wake of a crowd surge in Seoul that left at least 151 people dead on Saturday (Oct 29).
Her son, Masela, went to work at a club in the city's Itaewon area around 6pm on Saturday. That was the last time Aby, a Seoul resident from the Ivory Coast, saw him.
"I called his number but... he wasn't answering," Aby told Reuters while standing in the Hannam-dong Community Service Center, which became a makeshift missing persons facility in the wake of the disaster.
Bureaucrats who typically handle birth certificates or housing registrations sought to help hundreds of distraught people seeking details of their relatives.
Officers at the centre manned emergency phone lines, taking hundreds of frantic calls to find missing people.
Maybe S.Korea need to reflect as a nation … every now and then they have a major disaster …. remember the ferry sinking killing many students.
Karma at works? Many victims are. young people'

Funni thing is the latest man-made tragedy in S Korea is because their young pple died celebrating a "Western ritual"...
Now 156 confirmed dead. Now their loved ones have to search and collect their personal items.
Wasted lives.
The Wonhyoro sports centre, which was initially turn into a makeshift morgue, now become a lost-&-found centre - Some of the shoes, coats, glasses and phones belong to the deceased.
