Father of Seoul crowd crush victim recalls last moments with daughter, says grief turning to rage

It has been a month since the deadly crowd crush at Itaewon in the South Korean capital of Seoul that claimed 158 lives on October 29, 2022. Authorities have come under heavy criticism for their response that night, after it emerged that emergency calls were made warning police about the dangerous crowd build-up before the tragedy. Cho Gi-dong is one of a growing group of bereaved family members that are now seeking justice for their loved ones.
