Almost in this whole thing. the driver did not come forward and they didn t look at the trail because they didn t have the tape until then. what does that mean? that means the evidence could be lost and i m very concerned about the crime scene. there is a primary, secondary and other crime scene. behind it there is an incline. i saw where the crime scene tape was around the home but a larger crime scene area. i do believe they re looking at that. i ve seen many defendants drop or leave something behind at the crime scene. also a lot of headlines in the past 24 hours about the crime victims, the murder victims. four young beautiful people having their hands bagged with paper bags. that should not be a headline.
That crowd. take a listen. like so many people who were like pushing us. and like we cannot breathe. i told for a moment, at some point i have no air and we were so crushed to other people that i couldn t breathe at all, so i just passed out? unconscious? yes. did you know that people were dying where you were standing? no. like we re just there and we re just trying to save our life. reporter: there were so many people piled up, they d fallen on an incline here that the emergency works when they came to the scene saturday night, they weren t able to pull people out from under the weight of that crowd and that is part of what contributed to so many people losing their lives. where does the investigation go from here, ivan?
Out for what was supposed to be a fun halloween saturday night and unfortunately didn t come home. there are reports that potentially there were not enough police out on there were not enough police out on the streets. there were not enough police out on the streets- there were not enough police out on the streets. yeah, that is something that is going the streets. yeah, that is something that is going to the streets. yeah, that is something that is going to be the streets. yeah, that is something that is going to be one the streets. yeah, that is something that is going to be one of the streets. yeah, that is something that is going to be one of the - that is going to be one of the central questions of the investigation which has now started. there is no official explanation given by the authorities as to what caused this crush but there are some things we do know. we know that the vast majority of these 154 people who died on saturday night died just across here. about 20 metres from where i m standing in an alleyway. it goes slight incline. it is very tightly packed, narrow alleyway which people were walking through as part of their night out, perhaps trying to get from bar to bar. eyewitnesses say that those at the top of the slope perhaps fell and
It goes up a slight incline. it is a very tightly packed, narrow alleyway which people were walking through as part of their night out, maybe trying to get from bar to bar. eyewitnesses say that those at the top of the slope perhaps fell and caused a kind of domino effect and those at the bottom would have been caught under the weight and the sheer number of bodies and lost their life that way. i have to stress that is not the official explanation. we have no official explanation. but that is what a lot of eyewitness reports have been saying and there is a lot of corroborating reports to suggest that. the police say they only had 200 officers on duty, the same number deployed this time last year for halloween, on the saturday night before halloween, and far fewer people were out on the streets that night because of covid restrictions. the authorities say themselves that they were surprised that 100,000 people were on the streets.
Certainly the alleyway behind me, it is very narrow and leads to a bunch of bars and clubs and on a decline to the street. when you have so many people pack to net on an incline and decline, their body weight shifts forward. i have spoken to several witnesses who had basically said, the pressure and away from other people was so crashing their feet were lifted off the ground. before they knew that there were people underneath them as well as above them. they could not move their arms or legs article. it them. they could not move their arms or legs article- or legs article. it was a pile up. it is ust or legs article. it was a pile up. it isjust terrible. or legs article. it was a pile up. it is just terrible. there - or legs article. it was a pile up. it isjust terrible. there are - or legs article. it was a pile up. | it isjust terrible. there are still it is just terrible. there are still people wandering around who cannot find their loved ones, cannot find information about people who are missing.
