| I wonder if this near-tragedy is enough to spark a campaign for some common sense safety measures. |

Yes, sir! That is the reason for today's festivities.

| The public was concerned about the possibility of a stampede on the day of free admission, which was presented as an apology for the recent fatal accident at one of Lotte World��s rides. |

| No surprise. Getting Koreans to queue is like trying to herd cats. It simply can't be done. |

haha...
Just saw the coverage on MBC news...pretty messed up. I guess today would've been a good day to go to Seoul land or Everland. What about the poor kids who came all the way from Busan and didn't get in (tear). |

| I really don't understand why someone would go there while admission is free when it's already a zoo on paying days. |
