In the city of Hatteras, Uttar Pradesh, India, a religious event has turned into a living purgatory. The fragility of life is infinitely magnified at this moment, which is painful. We have to ask, why do tragedies happen again and again?
The incident occurred on a temporary site in the city of Hatteras, Uttara Pradesh, India, on XX/XX/XXXX. The 15,000 people who had gathered for a religious pilgrimage ended up with at least 122 dead and 150 injured in a sudden stampede.
According to eyewitness recollections, after the event ended, the crowd rushed to the exit. However, due to the narrow exit, the crowd began to crowd and push, and soon fell into a crowd of people. Someone was crushed alive underneath, and wails came and went. Although the on-site staff and rescue workers tried their best to rescue, they also seemed powerless in the face of such a huge disaster. The high temperature and humidity exacerbated the severity of the disaster, and many people lost their lives to the lack of oxygen. The hospital's emergency trauma center has only one physician on duty, and even a simple oxygen tank is not equipped, highlighting the serious lack of emergency preparedness.
Netizens' comments expressed their shock and emotion at the tragedy:
If something happens to India, the casualties are huge. This incident is yet another example of India's weakness in security precautions for large-scale events.
Well, some of the worst stampedes in history have been related to religious worship. This makes one wonder if the organization and management of religious activities should be more stringent.
I don't like to join in the fun, and I like to go to places with fewer people when I eat. This incident has reinforced my belief that staying away from crowded places is the only way to ensure my safety.
Professor Tsang Shiqiang once said that you should not go to a crowded place. This sentence is most painfully verified here.
I think of Itaewon, South Korea, miserable! Both incidents remind us that safety precautions for large-scale events cannot be overlooked.
122 people died at one time, which is outrageous, right? Why can't such a tragedy be avoided?
Why didn't their most worshipped gods and Buddhas protect them? This raises deep doubts about religious beliefs.
I can't figure out why this country is so messy forever? Isn't there a way to improve it?
It's unfortunate that more people are dying than heat. Such a tragedy is truly heart-wrenching.
A superpower that happened to the Blue Star superpower. This incident is undoubtedly a wake-up call for India and the world.
The incident once again exposed India's serious shortcomings in security precautions for large-scale events. From narrow exits and inadequate emergency preparedness to weak infrastructure, every step of the way can lead to tragedy. We should learn from this and strengthen the safety management of large-scale events to ensure the safety of people's lives. At the same time, it also reminds us to always be vigilant in our daily life, stay away from crowded places, and protect our lives.
