TOKYO -- The shocking deaths of more than 150 revelers in Seoul has reminded the world of the risks of excessive crowding, putting officials in another Asian capital known for Halloween hordes, Tokyo, on high alert.
Tokyo's Shibuya district, famous for its large "scramble crossing," where pedestrians scurry in all directions, draws large numbers of people on Oct. 31. These crowds have caused trouble in the past, including in 2018 when unruly party-goers overturned a truck.
