Yes, the news came a little while ago.
While the rescue operation was in progress, today (6th) around 8:15 pm, the fire department rescued a man and transported him to an ambulance.
Survival of the missing persons has been confirmed.
The news that a survivor had been found caused a stir in an instant.
It was also witnessed at the scene that a person believed to be a family member was confirmed whether the missing person was alive or dead.
The fire department currently believes that the underground parking lot where the accident occurred is filled with about 47,000 tons of rainwater.
Even now, it is still being taken out using a pump car, etc. So far, about 40% of the work has been done.
At the current pace, it looks like the drainage work will be over soon after midnight.
The fire department is currently looking at that and plans to continue an internal search operation to ascertain whether the remaining missing persons are alive or dead.
Professional rescue workers are already on standby at the scene.
The fire department is also actively reviewing measures to expedite the rescue operation if it is possible to enter even if the rainwater cannot be completely drained out.
