I will inform you of the explosion that happened a while ago. A hydrogen tank exploded at a science industrial complex in Gangneung, Gangwon Province, today, killing two people and injuring four. It is now estimated that one person is buried in the scene. It seems to have exploded in the process of testing the hydrogen tank.

Reporter Cho Jae-keun, first of all, let's sort things out now.

Yes, I am in the explosion scene of a hydrogen tank in Daejeon, Gangneung.

The building with the accident is a three-storey building, as you can see behind it. You can see that the first floor, second floor and third floor have collapsed due to the shock at the time of the explosion.

It was a hydrogen explosion, but there was no fire.

This evening at 6:22 pm we received a report that an explosion had occurred at a Gangneung venture factory in Gangwon Techno Park.

The factory where the explosion occurred is where ceramic parts for the display process equipment are produced.

I was experimenting with a 400-cubic-meter hydrogen tank and it was reported that three tanks exploded.

Two people were killed in the accident and four others were injured and transferred to Asan Medical Center in Gangneung.

Another person is still known to be buried.

So, what should be done to search and rescue the one who is currently believed to be buried?

<Reporter>

The day is dark, but the rescue work is still going on.

The fire-fighting authorities who dispatched to the scene issued the second stage and responded to the rescue work.

Currently, one person is known to be buried in the wreckage of the factory building, but there is a risk of additional collapse of the building,

At the time of the accident, the explosion caused a lot of damage to the windows of the surrounding plants.

Witnesses say the explosion was so heavy that it could reach 7 to 8 kilometers away.
