"Icicles can be used as weapons"..."Fatal award" when falling, and "Best" in January. [Anchor Report]

This is what YTN reporter told me yesterday,

Icicles falling from top to bottom are especially dangerous.

is below freezing and moving up and down the video can melt and freeze, resulting in icicles or building leaks.

If these large icicles fall on top of a passing person's head or onto a vehicle, it's really dizzying to think about.

cautioned that even a small chunk of ice the size of an egg could cause fatal injuries if it falls from high above.

In particular, the number of icicle safety measures was the highest in January.

According to the Seoul Fire and Disaster Headquarters' analysis of 119 dispatches of icicles safety measures in winter over the past three years, about 55 percent were concentrated in January.

Fire authorities said, "Don't try to remove large icicles from high places yourself, but make sure to report them to 119."
