<Anchor> In
Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, a report was reported that a 7-story building was shaking, causing a commotion in which dozens of people were evacuated.
Two days ago, there was a ground break on a nearby road, and an investigation is being conducted to see if it is related to the shaking of the building.
Shin Jung-eun is a reporter.
<Reporter> The
report was received at around 10:05 a.m. on the 1st, and the residents made an emergency call to 911, saying that there is a vibration inside the building, such as shaking the water from the water purifier.
[Kim Seon-hye/Ilsan, Gyeonggi-do: I was in an ambulance and there were a lot of people in front of me.
When I heard that it is difficult to go back to work and I have to take home measures, I guided the staff...
.] The
fire department and the ward office evacuated 96 residents and put the building closed.
There was no human injury.
It is this building that has been reported that the building is shaking.
Currently, the access control line is struck, so you can't get inside.
The ward office has decided to close the building for three days, and then mobilize measurement equipment to see if there is any vibration.
The building has two floors below ground and seven floors above ground, and contains offices.
Nearby, Hyundai Motor Group's new office building and Yeongdong-daero underground space development work are in full swing.
In the evening just two days ago, a sinkhole occurred in the road just in front of the building, so a relevance investigation seems inevitable.
[Gangnam-gu Office person in charge: (Sink hole) 1.5m wide and 2m high.
It says,'We mobilized and took measures related to the subsidence.']
Ward offices, Hyundai E&C, and Korea Electric Power Corporation are conducting a building safety inspection along with an accurate cause investigation.
