"collapse" starts demolition of yongsan's second floor building..."danger of further collapse"

In connection with the collapse of a two-story multi-family house in the middle of a residential area in Yongsan-dong, Seoul, demolition work has begun to prevent further collapse.

The Yongsan-gu Office in Seoul is working on the demolition of a two-story building in Yongsan-dong 3-ga, Seoul, from 2 p.m. today (27th).

Earlier at 6:15 p.m. yesterday, the outer wall and roof collapsed in the building, and fortunately, there were no residents or passers-by passing by at the time of the accident, so there were no casualties.

It has been 50 years since it was approved for use in 1974, and it is said that interior construction was recently underway to use it as a general restaurant.

Yongsan-gu Office immediately started demolishing it, believing that there are many restaurants and cafes nearby, and that there is a high risk of secondary accidents.
