yellow city bus stops at the bus stop.
After a while, the building in front of the stop collapses onto the road in an instant with hazy smoke.
The city bus that was stopped was crushed by the rubble of the building and disappeared without a trace.
At around 4:20 pm today, the five-story building collapsed at the demolition site of the reconstruction building in Hak-dong, Gwangju.
The building collapsed in the direction of the road and hit a city bus that was stopped at the bus stop right in front of it.
[Witness: It's an instant. In an instant, the bus was really buried outside. It just hit the bus.] As the
building collapsed, debris splattered and destroyed nearby facilities.
As you can see, immediately after the accident, huge piles of building rubble poured down and covered the entire eight-lane road.
At the time of the accident, it is estimated that 12 people, including the driver and passengers, were on the city bus, and 8 people were rescued and are being treated at the hospital.
Three of the four people were found dead under a pile of buildings just before, and rescue work for the other one is ongoing.
It was found that workers in the collapsed building felt abnormal signs while working and evacuated.
Police and fire departments are investigating the exact cause of the accident against construction company officials and others.
