We have obtained the diaries of the first aid activities of 162 casualties of the Itaewon disaster.
There was a high voice that it should be disclosed as it is a key material in determining whether the initial response to the Itaewon disaster was appropriate, but it contains the unsatisfactory aspects of the scene on the day when it was known piece by piece.
Reporter Ahn Hee-jae reports.

At the time of the Itaewon disaster, a total of 162 firefighting logs were written in 22 fire departments and 62 ambulances.
When SBS looked at all logs, the biggest obstacle cited by the dispatched paramedics was long-distance dispatch.
It was found that 162 casualties, including emergency patients, traveled an average of 14.4 km, and there were cases where they traveled up to 60 km in search of a hospital.
Rescue conditions were poor.
Defibrillators were in short supply, and the hard-earned automatic external defibrillator turned off.
I couldn't use the initial equipment because I was treating another patient, and while transporting a patient on a stretcher, I bumped into a crowd and the cardiopulmonary arrest patient's defibrillator connection line was cut.
In one fire station, there was a situation where the dispatch of the ambulance was delayed because the dispatch order was not properly propagated.

From delayed arrival at the site, lack of firefighting personnel, difficulty in selecting a hospital, and lack of cooperation with institutions, the 162 diaries written by the dispatchers at the time clearly contain the reasons why they struggled hard.
