Two of the missing residents were rescued alive while going to the underground parking lot of an apartment building in Pohang, which was flooded by a typhoon, and unfortunately seven people died.

Let's go to the hospital with the survivors who survived over 10 hours and were dramatically rescued.



Reporter Shin Yong-shik, please tell us the news.

Yes, I am in front of St. Mary's Hospital in Pohang.



The two survivors who were dramatically rescued yesterday (the 6th) are resting in this hospital, which I can see behind me now.



The first survivor, a man in his 30s, walked out of the parking lot with rescuers at around 8 pm yesterday evening.



About an hour and a half later, a second survivor, a woman in her 50s, was also rescued.



Rescuers are believed to have survived by hanging from the ceiling plumbing.



In addition to this, the search operation to rescue the missing continued until dawn this morning.



So far, nine people have been rescued, and seven have died.



The full-fledged search for people in the underground parking lot that was full of water started yesterday evening when a lot of water in the parking lot was drained.



The fire department said that the search personnel searched the inside of the parking lot by using a 'trawl net' method, where search personnel stood in a line and scanned the interior.



He explained that he carefully checked whether there were any missing persons trapped in the car, but that no additional missing persons were found other than the nine who were rescued.



However, as two more people who are not on the list have been rescued in addition to the seven people who were initially reported missing, the possibility of finding additional missing persons cannot be ruled out.



Earlier, the missing people heard a broadcast from the management office saying, 'Remove the car from the underground parking lot at around 6:30 am yesterday, and went down to move the car and had an accident.



At that time, the Pohang area was in a situation where it was raining at a rate of 110 millimeters per hour due to the influence of Hinnamno.



The fire department plans to finish all relevant work and announce the search results by this morning at the latest.
