1. [+5,173, -161] Thank you so much, thank you. While North Koreans, who are of our own ethnicity, are shooting missiles, American soldiers saved 30 of our lives.
2. [+4,224, -35] Thank you. I really can't find another way to express this.
3. [+3,979, -52] So amazing of everyone who helped. I'm genuinely crying tears of gratitude.
4. [+236, -13] Americans have been saving us for 70 years now
5. [+199, -10] Americans are our compatriots
6. [+126, -1] Thank you
7. [+108, -2] So thankful for them. I'm sure the scene of the tragedy was so terrifying that instinct would've told them to run but they still chose to step up and help those in need despite not knowing what was going to happen next. I truly hope they get compensated for this.
8. [+95, -2] Thank you. But really, even if I wanted to help, I don't know that I could've helped an adult man the size of 180/96 while getting crushed myself... It must've been so difficult for these soldiers but they still did it.
9. [+82, -1] Thank you so much
10. [+80, 8] Can we please leave the Black part out of the title? If an Asian man had saved them, would we be putting 'Yellow man' in the news? Just call him a foreigner man, it's weird that we keep labeling him Black. Korea still has such a long way to go.
11. [+77, -1] I'm telling you, they didn't just save 30.. If they managed to get 30 out of a crowd crush, they basically saved over 100 lives. The accident could've been way bigger without them;;;
12. [+52, -7] Thank you. My perspective on American soldiers has changed for the positive. Please do not take these troops out. Korean police have failed to protect us and yet three American soldiers managed to save 30. They should be honored for this.
13. [+40, -1] While a foreigner was saving 30 Korean lives, a Korean man was shouting "shove!" that psychopath devil
14. [+33, -1] Thank you so, so much for saving all those lives... 🙏🏻😢
