There are heroes around us who risked their lives to save others while it was raining terribly.
Several citizens gathered to rescue a person trapped in a semi-basement house in the pouring rain.
Reporter Park Chan-beom will tell you in detail about the situation at the time.
<Reporter>
[You have to open it from the inside!]
[Open the window, the window!] The
multi-family house is submerged in water due to heavy rain.
He struggles to rescue an isolated man.
[You can come and see the lights!
Just hold my hand!]
When the window doesn't open due to water pressure, he decides to break the window.
[I have to break this!
I have to break this!] I try
to hit it with a fire extinguisher, but it's not easy.
[Give me the monkey spanner!]
An emergency situation in which rainwater rises to the face of the man inside and fights for every minute and second.
[Seunghoon, hold on!
Seunghoon, hold on a little longer!]
[Calm down!
Stay calm!
Calm down!]
About 30 seconds later, the glass window starts to break, and
[Hand!
hand!
hand!
hand!
Breathe!]
A man who was imprisoned in a semi-subterranean house appears through the window.
[Live!
Lived]
This is the moment when 29-year-old Seung-Hoon Lee was rescued after an hour of isolation in a semi-basement house.
[Lee Seung-hoon/Rescuer: If it had been 30 minutes more, I probably wouldn't have been in this world...
.]
Mr. Lee tried to escape when the rainwater reached his calf, but the front door did not open due to water pressure.
While waiting for 119 rescue, righteous people in Sillim-dong came out.
When Eun Seok-jun heard the sound of people, he swam into the house to check the semi-subterranean lake.
[Eun Seok-jun / Sillim-dong Jowon-ro 19-gil Eui-in: My feet didn't reach and there was only one head difference from the ceiling.
The closet was also floating around, so I just took it out.]
After confirming that there were people in the semi-basement house, the citizens gathered in a place where the width between the wall and the outer wall of the building was only 70 cm.
It took less than 5 minutes to break a window and rescue a person using the equipment.
Park Jong-yeon, who had already rescued two people from another semi-basement house, hurriedly jumped over the wall and joined the rescue.
[Park Jong-yeon / Sillim-dong Jowon-ro 19-gil Righteous Person: They broke the security window and saved me here first, then the lady here, and then went over there and was trapped over there.

[Kim Jin-hak / Sillim-dong Jowon-ro 19-gil Righteousness: I hit the weak part a bit, so it's broken now.
In the process, my hand is now a little bit on a piece of glass…
.]
Thanks to the righteous in Sillim-dong, Seung-hoon Lee says that he has a new life.
[Lee Seung-hoon / Rescuer: I will always try to become a person who can give to others.
Thank you.]
