[What do you do? What should I do!]

Water flows down like a waterfall from the 4th floor of a shopping mall.

The road in front of the building became a sea of ​​water, and the entrance to the store on the first floor was severely damaged, such as a sidewalk block being torn off.

Today (24th), around 12:30 in the daytime, a water tank in a building in Uijeongbu City with a swimming pool and sauna burst.

A 40-ton capacity tank that replenished the water on the fifth-floor pool broke out, causing the exterior wall of the building to collapse, and a small electric car parked beneath it.

[Sightseeing at the time of the accident: When I see it, it bursts out and the water comes out and the rebars fall... There were two people, but they ran away to this place in our store.] Even inside the

building, the water leaked and became a shrine.

Fortunately, no one passed through the building at the time of the accident, and no one was seriously injured.


The accident water tank was installed when the building was completed in 2017, but it was found that there were several gaps in the surface.

Uijeongbu City will investigate why the water tank exploded with Gyeonggi Province and whether there were any problems in the installation or maintenance process.
