Today (17th), the search operation continued at the site of the collapse of the Gwangju apartment, but there was no news of the rescue of the five missing people. On-site connection.



Reporter Jeong-eun Shin, how was the search today?



<Reporter> The



fire department has finished removing debris from the first basement and first floor where the first missing person was found today.



Now, we are going to start a search for the upper floors where missing people are expected.



However, the tilted tower crane behind me is still in an unstable state, and the problem is that the search itself for the 22nd floor or higher, where there is a lot of rubble, is an unprecedented task.



Architectural structure and demolition experts had two meetings today.



Judging that safety measures are prioritized prior to the search, we decided to prepare a floor plan to clarify the extent of the collapse and prepare a safety reinforcement method for each floor.



The high-rise search method was inconclusive.

It is even more unfortunate that it is difficult to speed up the search, but the families of the missing persons have been watching the scene for a week.



<Reporter>



Yes, it is. The families of the missing people said they did not want another sacrifice due to excessive rescue operations.



He also urged the government, not Hyundai Industrial Development, to take the lead in the search operation.

In addition, 10 ready-mixed concrete companies were seized and searched to see if there were any problems with the delivered concrete.
