Giant screen CRUSHES dancers during boy band concert - The MIRROR Concert Accident

[@GuranPurin]

I feel terrible for Mo, he didn't even have a chance to react to the screen coming down like that. And to think that was the only major injury that happened on the tour, which could have hurt the other staff or members, as well. I pray he's able to walk again and it's amazing that a tycoon offered to pay his medical bills for him.

To think that that big almost 10k pound screen feel and survived is crazy,for a comparison thats heavier than a fully electric hummer ev ,a big car is lighter than that screen

[@dracol2399]

@@chrism869 no fr, if it was 3k pounds like they claimed its possible he could have made a speedy recovery and showed significant signs of improvement, but damn near 10k...Its a blessing he survived because he could have died from the concussion alone. I honestly feel bad for saying "its a blessing he survived" because people who sustain serious injuries like that talk about how much they suffer, the agonizing pain they endure, and how even after a FULL recovery they're still can feel the pain "as if it happened yesterday." I really hope he comes out and sue them because they should be the one paying for his medical bill not a tycoon

Wow that’s tragic but I know this might sound ignorant. I’m not surprised China have a lot of questionable things in general that’s been going on with their buildings and people been complaining about it. It’s all over the Internet. I’m not saying all of it is a absolute thing that be happening over there but, they’ve been getting caught up lately. I don’t know, if it’s just these bigger companies, just don’t care about their building and they’re just trying to make a quick buck but they need to be fine and go to jail for these negligence. And my prayers go out to that guy. He didn’t deserve that for real.😔

[@tallybarnie5453]

I remember when this first happened I thought it was just a freak accident. But knowing that everything was so ill prepared it’s less like a freak accident and more like straight up negligence/greed/laziness

[@sophierose6543]

As someone that is in university for music industry management, part of that being the live music sector, the mirror concert was a tragedy highlighting the importance of stage management and safety. How cutting measures for time and money truly can be deadly. That we can all learn from. And as a disabled person I truly hope those injured are getting the help they need.

[@Vor567tez]

Never cutting on safety and management to save money I hv ever seen anything going right and tragically it always the innocents who have to pay the biggest price.

Even if the stage had been set up correctly, it would have been dangerous. Never go underneath suspended loads.

[@YBlvr]

I remember going to EXO’s The Lost Planet 2013 concert in Hong Kong the night things went wrong - Tao fell into a hole where one of the moving platforms should’ve been, and staff accidentally let go of D.O’s flying swing and cause it to hit 2 fans. Suho had to stay behind in Hong Kong the next day to check on the fans in the hospital. I thought those were bad enough incidents for Hong Kong concert staff to improve their safety measures. I was SO wrong. I can’t believe they’ve learned nothing and allowed this tragedy to happen. They should’ve never let the concerts go ahead with such shoddy venue preparations.

This is the best and most thorough coverage i've seen about this incident so far. Thanks for doing all this research and breaking it down for us making it easy to understand. This is such a heartbreaking incident and as someone who suffered a similar injury to Mo (from a car accident), but was able to recover and regain mobility, my heart really goes out to him. These companies should absolutely be held responsible for their negligence and it's so enraging, omg. This was all so easily preventable.

[@tiffy6v6]

i felt physically sick when i first saw the footage of this happening. i can't imagine what it must have been like for fans/other performers to witness. my heart goes out to mo, just absolutely tragic and just not okay. i hope he's doing better recently and things improve for him in the future 🕊

[@irrelevant1958]

as a dancer, this breaks my heart so much. it is one of my biggest fears as a dancer, getting injured so bad that you cant dance anymore. I have seen so many fellow dancers injure themselves too. Mo's situation breaks my heart i almost cried. I pray he recovers soon and gets back to dancing. i cannot imagine the pain he must be feeling, not just physical but i think his sadness is more than his physical pain.

[@Nmixxobsessed]

I was gonna cry but I took all my courage in too not cry , Hope recovery ❤️‍🩹 for everyone involved in this situation ❤

[@sapphis_lazuli]

i'm also a dancer, and this was one of my worst fears playing out right in front of my eyes. i ended up being a bit of a shut-in by coincidence, and have never been to a concert, or performed anywhere outside of a studio. i sometimes feel like i'm missing out, but when things like this happen, i always feel pretty grateful that i've never had to take chances like these. i know all of us dancers in the world feel so bad for those of us who can't dance anymore, especially when it's because of something as horrible as this. us dancers support each other, and we all hope and pray that mo recovers. ❤❤❤

I should've phrased my comment better, what I meant to say is it's scary to think how because of neglect so many other performers could've gotten hurt on that stage and audience members would bear witness to that. My friend is just one of the thousands of people who could've been scarred because of the poor maintenance. I'm not trying to dismiss people's trauma, what they're going through is horrible.

I been supporting them since 2019 and I wasn't able to watch it but one of my friends who was at the concert was blowing my phone with notifications when i was showering and i checked it I heard the horrible news. And the thing that shocked me was when my favourite singer was there, Anson Lo, freaked me out more. I went to visit a memorial hosted by his friends, and it was sad to me. Lucky he is still alive but he is long to being healed. It still haunts me to this day and i hope this NEVER happens every again.

[@naivenostalgia]

It was horrifying to watch the screen fall with someone (Mo) directly underneath it. I can't imagine what the people on stage and live audience members felt in those moments. I'm also not sure how all but two dancers managed to escape injury- if it was luck due to the choreography or some kind of noticeable sound/movement that made them rush to the side as it happened. I think it is unfortunate for the second injured dancer that the screen didn't ultimately land where it initially fell, since that is what led to his injuries. However, I think that is potentially what saved Mo's life.

[@aidancarr4953]

This is gonna be a lot of writing so here I go lol. As someone that has a father that is an rigger & event organiser and has grown up watching him I can state a few facts here after talking to him about this for awhile. Setting up time: legally the riggers and builders will only have 6-7 days to set up. The whole point is so the stadium it’s being held at can hold more event and get more money. This is a direct quote from my father “anymore kills the grass of the stadium” (grass means money if you don’t understand). So only having a week to set up in normal. Equipment still arriving while structures are being built: that is very normal in the industry. They also make sure to have “left overs” incase something does happen. Yknow spares. They should be doing safety checks on the equipment as it arrives so that was ignored by the builders in this case which is illegal. Only have a rehearsal the night before: that’s very normal in the industry of performing. Yes it’s very annoying but the whole point is got rehearse where it is cheaper and then do one big rehearsal and be ready for the concert. If there are multiple rehearsals you can “damage the stadium” sounds weird but that’s true. I can vouch for this as I’ve been in the dance industry for 11+ years. There is always a rehearsal the night before that’s just normal. Yes what these people did were illegal on the sense of lying to the government about weight of objects and not checking safety of the structures. But these things above that were seen as “bad” are really just normal and is what’s done pretty much everywhere. If this was a tour and they were going to multiple places then the rigging team and organisers would be at the next stadium already setting up while they are performing. Now that’s all cleared up I will say the video is good just make sure to double check some facts. Yes what happened is horrible and I feel so bad for Mo . I hope he can recover and be able to walk and enjoy life again and that the other dancers will be able to enjoy life and dance aswell. 💕

There’s lots of spelling and grammar errors in here I’m sorry. I was speed typing while also double checking with my father about stuff lol

[@slylover123]

From your experience-if this is normal why don't these incidents happen more often? where could the negligence have taken place in this scenario?

[@aidancarr4953]

@@slylover123 well as I stated above the rigging team and event organisers failed to overlook materials and run test beforehand. In the video she stated the wire that was holding the screen. Before the screen was even attached to the wire they should’ve looked at the wire and test multiple different ones to see what would be best and hold that weight. But overall just not running test and safety inspections is what caused this to happen. It was 100% negligence from the everyone in the team. Them failing to give the correct weights to the government although illegal doesn’t really contribute to the accident itself. It just shows that the people were selfish and didn’t care if they had to cut corners and be cheap as long as they got money in the end.

[@aidancarr4953]

@@slylover123 accidents do happen. If you look on the internet you will find many videos of lights falling from theatres (that’s pretty common) but it’s up to the staff to do the inspections and make sure everything is safe before someone becomes injured.

[@aidancarr4953]

@@slylover123 just saying what I stated above was my opinion. I also asked my dad what he thought went wrong and what his opinion on it was, this was his answer: “there were many possible points of failure, and until the legal process has concluded we won’t really know what exactly went wrong. The court will have specialist look into the design of the equipment that fell and why it fell. They will figure out if corners were cut and who and why those corners were cut. Until then people who don’t know how the industry work shouldn’t be making videos trying to explain what went wrong. They can explain the situation”

[@veeaxis3892]

I still find it hard to look at that footage. I will never understand how people like those organizers can sleep at night.

[@unknownnamestfu]

i thought it was just an accident, i didnt know there was way more to this behind the scenes

[@raphaelsylla876]

I've seen this in IG but didn't get the full details. I tried searching in google but details were quite vague tbh. Thank u for sharing this. I hope Mo and the injured dancers, staff and everyone who was hurt are recovering well. Sending my prayers to them.

I love your content so much! I’m sort of new to the kpop fandom and I want to stay up to date ❤

[@samsonkth]

Their stage presence was so immense the stage couldn't stay in one piece.

[@cvlvstia]

i remember hearing this from one of my cousins, they actually knew the dancer and was super worried i was literally traumatized.

[@wardfiction5693]

Thank you for another video... Keep them coming...

[@colourless_soul]

This happened at my school too, and in front of my eyes. The only difference is it was a billboard instead of a giant screen, which honestly isn't any better. It was during the lunch break, at our school ground when we saw it falling and hitting a few 3rd or 4th graders. At the moment, we all went in shock, like we had seen a ghost or something. It was truly pathetic, but the worse part was that one kid apparently got paralyzed. Truly heart-wrenching. I pray for the kid and also the dancer. 😔

[@Rhener]

Thank you so much for researching and explaining everything! Amazing job!

[@minh9946]

I was within the first few rows when this happened. The show the entire time already seemed sketchy to me because everything that they made looked unrefined. When the screens moved, they were shaky, so I was already concerned. It was honestly pretty traumatizing. Seeing the screen fall and the concert just pause was an entirely different level of shock and horror. The audience was honestly pretty annoyed as most people hadn't realized or processed the fact that the screen did fall. I'm glad people eventually came to their senses, left the stadium asap and stopped recording for privacy purposes. The first day after the incident people tried to get information (before the official investigation) and the engineering company denied all allegations. Mo fortunately has a lot of support from his family and friends. From what I've seen though, this accident has quite heavily affected his gf as well. She had to quit beung an idol so that she could earn more money as a dance teachef. Either was I really hope Hong Kong improves their concert conditions and I really hope that Mo is within that 5% chance of regaining full movement. Wishing the best for all the victims in this situation.

[@stevestevens8709]

i remember seeing this on social media, i was so mad i never heard of this group and wasn't even a fan ,but i hope the people who make concerts happen ,make sure this never happens again

[@user-is7xs1mr9y]

Time and time again we've seen that cutting corners is NEVER a good idea. It can be a stage, a stadium, a building, a plane, equipment, anything. Unfortunately to some people, making money is more important than safety. My heart goes out to Mo.

[@renm4779]

I’m sobbing because these companies greed destroyed that man’s life and caused major harm to many others

[@katkaat]

Damnn... I remember this happening, but i had no idea that it was due to the entire production being thrown together like this! I though it was a freak accident!

[@terra-xoxo]

The big ass screen literally fell on his head. That's so horrific. It's miracle he survived.

[@VilVil-p9s]

this concert should have never be announce. it's take at least 6 to 12 month to make sure everything is ready before rehearsal. I hope things goes well and they are held responsible for their action like you are engineers you should know better. I hope Mo can get through this and my prayers goes to him and his family!

[@Iatechicken]

Bro my heart dropped when I saw the screen fall

[@literallylanii]

Same I think I’m traumatised now 😭

[@dzejnas_pallete]

Actually, I saw the video of screen falling long time ago and was like - what? this is real? And I had no idea who was that but I thought any kpop group. I feel so sorry for Mo and other who were involved in this incident, and those who are responsible should definetely be punished for lazy behavior on safety problems with the stage. Also, who has allowed the show to happen, was probably looking on profits and not safety of anyone. I hope that Mo recovers the best he can. #justiceforMo

[@RH_starmy0104]

I was at that concert on the day, and it was terrible to see what had happened, there was screaming and everything from people beside me, people crying and to see two members of that band laying motionless was really scary.

honestly dreaded coming here to watch this because it makes me physically cringe out of pure fear.... i'm glad to hear they survived such a tragic accident :/ but it could have been prevented

[@KeithxA]

I feel horrible for mo, i pray that he can regain control of most or all of his limbs. Amen

[@catherinethecatlike]

This could’ve been prevented 100%. But the actions of these greedy money hungry monsters, who thought they could cut corners to make more of a profit, resulted in deadly situations. They didn’t give a f*ck and their laziness and unprofessionalism permanently ruined the life of an amazing dancer. It’s heartbreaking. This incident reminded me of when the stage was starting to collapse during one of BTS’s concerts and the staff was literally under the stage holding it up with their hands. I’d much rather have a concert cut short for safety reasons than having the mentality of “the show must go on” while risking the health and safety of idols and dancers.

[@666venus]

Omg that is so messed up. To have your career life centered around moving your body, to working your butt at at work, to having your livelihood, autonomy and financials ruined by negligence.
