Stampede going on as flight resumes

Hundreds of people were waiting outside the airport as they are waiting to visit their families and friends in different countries.

When a representative of Snowstone's Air Transport Office announced that flights wilm be resumed, the crowd rushed in, causing themselves to get pushed and fall over. A witness reported that the crowd knocked down the barricade.

The Aviation Division were deployed a minute after the first 999 call was made about the stampede. Some officers used megaphones to issue announcements, some carried shields and batons in case a brawl in the crowd occurs. The Force Armed Response Teams deployed police dogs to ensure no one was carrying anything illegal.

4 hours after the stampede, the SNC had the following report:
•500 injuries
•125 deaths
•6 arrests (for carrying an illegal item)

The National Health Bureau and the FRS were called in to handle treatment of the people involved, and to recover bodies for identification. At the moment, friends and relatives of the injured and the deceased gathered outside hospitals to gather information about what happened to their loved ones. The Valerio Quek Bai Yeow Memorial Hospital reported that "around 200 people" have gathered outside, with some being given meals by the Snowstone Red Cross Society.

Damages slowly rebuilt by citizens

Residents of neighbourhoods that were damaged by a big storm were seen utilizing the damaged portions of their homes to build them back to a habitable state.
SNC's combat engineers supervised and assisted with rebuilding everything damaged, ensuring that everything is strong enough against any storm possible. Extra materials and assistance were sent by multiple construction firms in order to get the task done.
