At the site of the Bonghwa mine burial accident, it is difficult to secure the access road to the 2nd vertical tunnel.
The fire department and the mine rescue team started to secure the access road, but they still entered only about 10 meters out of the remaining 100 meters of the remaining horizontal section.
The horizontal tunnel in the remaining section also collapses for each section, and it is difficult to enter because the standard of the existing and newly installed rails are different.
As the access road continued to be delayed, the isolated families struggled and urged measures.
