Today (12th), Hyundai Development Company bowed its head again and apologized again last year, when a building that was being demolished in Gwangju collapsed and 9 people died. In Gwangju, all construction sites currently in charge of Hyundai Development Company have been ordered to stop construction, and the construction company has also announced that it will temporarily suspend all construction work across the country and conduct safety inspections. In the midst of this, it is said that long before the accident yesterday, there were a series of warning signs of danger, including concrete fragments falling from the exterior walls of the building.



Reporter Lee Sang-hwan of KBC covered the story.

A piece of concrete falls from a car parked next to an apartment construction site.



Startled, the merchants come out and see the falling concrete and flee into the store.



This is a video filmed in October last year at the construction site of an apartment building where the outer wall collapsed.



A merchant showed the pieces of concrete he had collected over the years, claiming that it was a harbinger of the accident.



[Hong Seok-sun/Nearby merchant: If this level fell in front of our shopping mall, I made a complaint that it would have fallen a lot in the surrounding area, and I asked for action, but no action was taken.]



Another merchant said that it was evidence of poor construction and said that the apartment We reported photos taken in the basement.



Concrete columns and walls were damaged to the extent that the reinforcing bars were exposed.



The pouring of ready-mixed concrete was carried out even in sub-zero weather, and witnesses reported that the ready-mixed concrete was poured again without a sufficient curing period.



[Park Tae-joo/Nearby Merchant: If the ready-mixed concrete freezes in the winter, the residents of this area foresaw that there would be a problem when the ready-mixed concrete freezes even though the robbers do not come out.



] Without losing, weight is being put on the claim of 'predicted talent'.
