People in the market suddenly rush to escape here and there.

Soon after, the ceiling of one aisle crumbles.

Part of the roof of the Anyang Agricultural and Marine Products Wholesale Market in Gyeonggi-do fell down after failing to overcome the snow weight that piled up last night.

Since a day ago, there has been a sound of an iron pipe bursting and signs of collapse, so merchants have been evacuated in advance and the market has been suspended.

[Kwon Seong-oh / Anyang Agricultural and Marine Products Wholesale Market Merchant: We should leave the items as they are and have a meeting and evacuate until safety diagnosis is available.... First of all, it collapsed like this after people avoided it first.]

However, some merchants remained, and one customer was slightly injured after being hit by a drop.

[Jeong Ha-guk / Head of fire prevention department at Anyang Fire Station, Gyeonggi-do: There were 12 people who couldn't evacuate. Among them, 11 people evacuated themselves. The other one is injured....]

In Uiwang, Gyeonggi-do, the roof of the market building collapsed, but no one was hurt because it was early in the morning.

The roof has fallen and the passageway to and from the market has been blocked.

At the time of the accident, the signs hanging from the roof also fell to the floor like this.

Merchants who miss the end of the year are just devastated.

[Joo Sang-seok / Gyeonggi Uiwang Dokkaebi Market Merchant: The tent in front of the store has collapsed, so we can't even do business. It's not going to be easy overnight.]

Related agencies plan to conduct safety diagnosis and continue building restoration work, but it is expected to take some time as it snowed a lot.
