Nearly nine hours after the accident, the on-site search for missing persons continues. I'll connect the reporter.

Reporter Yoo Soo-hwan, is there any new news?

<Reporter>

Yes, I'm at Gyeonggang Bridge, where the Headquarters for Accidents was set up.

We haven't heard any new rescue news yet.

This place where I am located is about 16km away from Uiam Dam, and when I go down about 3km downstream, I find the spot where the missing person was found.

Also, if you go up about 4 minutes by car, it is the first survivor spot.

Let's hear the story of a citizen who rescued a survivor.

[Kim Hyun-do/Survivor of Survivors: A life jacket was noticeable. He wore a life jacket and floated away, but when the boat was chasing, he heard the engine and waved his arms. He barely waved his arm. The rescue

survivors immediately collapsed.] The rescued survivors were swept 13 km from Uiam Lake and were rescued within an hour of the accident.

It seems that he was able to maintain his body temperature by wearing a life jacket and raincoat.

It is said that it is rapidly regaining stability.

It's dark and the water is so strong that I think it's not easy to search. What's the situation on the scene?

<Reporter>

Yes, 7 helicopters and 800 search personnel were involved in the search for 40km between Uiam Dam and Cheongpyeong Dam for one day.

However, the current was strong and the concentration was very turbid, which led to difficulties in search.

The search ends now at 9:00 p.m., a little later as the sun goes down.

In the midst of this, Prime Minister Jung Se-gyun visited the scene and encouraged the search.

[Jung Se-gyun/Prime Minister: Since this accident happened, what would you say to the people? It is very unfortunate and there is no shame.] The

Accident Countermeasures Office said that tomorrow, as the sun rises, more people, more than today, will be invested, and the search range will be expanded to the Paldang Dam.
