Today, the 30th anniversary of the collapse of the Seongsu Bridge is a joint memorial service.

Seongdong-gu, Seoul, will hold a 30th anniversary joint memorial service at the memorial tower near the intersection at the northern end of the Seongsu Bridge with the bereaved family association of the victims of the collapse of the Seongsu Bridge today (21st).

Thirty-two people were killed and 17 injured in the collapse of the Seongsu Bridge at around 7:40 a.m. on October 21, 1994.

On October 21, 1997, three years after the accident, the Seoul Metropolitan Government built a memorial tower to commemorate the victims, and has held a memorial service every year in consultation with the bereaved families.

More than 40 people, including bereaved families, faculty and student representatives from Muhak Girls' High School, will attend the memorial service to commemorate the victims.

A representative of the bereaved family of the victims of Seongsu Bridge said, "Thirty years have passed since the accident, but the bereaved families are still deeply saddened every October, and we hope that such an accident will not happen again in our society."
