The police, who are investigating the collapse of the demolished building in the Gwangju redevelopment area, said it was identified that an excavator entered the building just before the accident and carried out demolition.
The police believe that the 30-ton excavator tried to tear it down one after the other from the fifth floor, the top floor of the building, but when it did not reach it, it entered the building and started tearing off the ceiling.
Moreover, the police investigation revealed that no supports were installed in the demolished building.
Police believe that the excavator could not withstand the weight of the excavator and the floor collapsed, shifting the center of gravity to one side and leading to the collapse.
While Kyung-cheol is concentrating on finding out the specific facts, the excavator driver told SBS that they know that they have never used a smaller-than-usual excavator.
