Lan Kwai Fong's crowd control prevents the Li Tai Yuan incident from happening Police: safety first
2022-10-31
(Picture: Last night, a large number of citizens went to Lan Kwai Fong to celebrate Halloween crazily, and the police implemented crowd control measures at the scene.) The tragedy of people trampling on people in Seoul, South Korea, shocked the world. So far, at least 154 people have died, including four Chinese citizens. When the incident happened, Hong Kong people in the vicinity accepted an interview with the Ta Kung Pao newspaper and said that they were lucky not to go to the scene, otherwise they would die. The incident reminded many Hong Kong people of the tragic 21 deaths caused by people trampling on people in Lan Kwai Fong 29 years ago. Over the years, the Hong Kong police have taken strict precautions against the recurrence of accidents. They have implemented strict crowd control in Lan Kwai Fong during festivals, including closing roads, restricting one-way crowds, and vacating emergency channels. The epidemic situation was a little stable. Ta Kung Pao reporters went to Lan Kwai Fong last night to attack directly. There were thousands of people and ghosts everywhere. A large number of police officers were stationed at the entrance and exit, pulling cables to guide the entry and exit, maintaining order, preventing crowds from gathering, and safety first! In response to the Halloween celebration, the Lan Kwai Fong area in Central will implement crowd management and special transportation arrangements in stages from 28th to 31st. Although it was not Halloween last night, it was the peak of this year's festival because of the Sunday holiday. Ta Kung Pao reporters learned from Lan Kwai Fong that the day was getting dark. Sexy people and cross dressers began to be active in the street. The police also strengthened their garrison, appealed to pedestrians not to stop, and broadcast: "In order to avoid overcrowding, please avoid staying in Lan Kwai Fong, and leave in the direction of Yunxian Street." Citizens can only move forward in one direction, and it is prohibited to walk back until about 9 p.m., the crowd is increasing. Attention should be paid to the three risk positions. However, the reporter found that there were at least three risk positions at the scene last night. The public should pay more attention. The first risk position: there are many depressions under the inclined line. The reporter carefully observed along Lan Kwai Fong and found that there were at least five depressions underground, with children riding on the shoulders of adults. If parents lost their balance, and people crowded on the road, adults and children fell together, the consequences would be unimaginable. The second risk position: the stroller is on the inclined road and easy to slide back. Last night, parents took their young children with them to experience the festival atmosphere. In order to take pictures of their children's special appearance, they would even park the stroller in the center of the road to take pictures. However, the road is inclined and it is not suitable to "park". Once they forget to activate the safety lock, they may endanger the safety of individuals or passers-by. The third risk position: too many roadblocks on the road. As seen on the site, in order to coordinate with the crowd control, there are many signs on the road. However, when the crowd is increasing, the risk of tripping may be increased by roadblocks and signs. Chief Executive Li Jiachao expressed concern about the pedestrian accident in the Lee Thai Hospital in South Korea. Yesterday, he sent a message to mourn the victims, describing the tragedy as heartbreaking, and sent deep condolences to the families of the dead and injured. He wished all the injured people an early recovery. He has asked the Security Bureau to keep a close eye on the development of the incident and understand whether Hong Kong citizens have asked for help in this regard to provide support. The Secretary for Security, Deng Bingqiang, also extended his deep condolences to the victims and the families of the dead and injured. He pointed out that the Immigration Department had not received any help from people in Hong Kong and South Korea for the time being, and appealed to the public to pay attention to safety and the instructions of police officers on the spot when they went out to celebrate Halloween. Zhang Sumei, Director of Lan Kwai Fong Association, said that in the past weekend, many bars and restaurants were full, and the overall turnover of Lan Kwai Fong was about
