Kindergarten Building In Seoul Partially Collapses

Fortunately this happened when no kids where in school:

A kindergarten building in southern Seoul has tilted after a retaining wall at a nearby construction site collapsed. No casualties were reported but the incident led to the evacuation of some 50 people at one point.
Our Bae Joo-yon has more.

Report: According to local authorities, the three-story Sangdo Kindergarten in the southern district of Dongjak tilted about ten degrees after the wall designed to prevent subsidence caved in at around 11:20 p.m. Thursday.

There were no casualties as the building was empty at the time but some 50 local residents had to evacuate and take shelter at a community center and hotel on Thursday night before returning home on Friday morning.   [KBS World Radio]

I haven’t been to South Korea years but this reminds me of the old adage, “More things change, the more they remain the same”.

South Korea is trying to rebuild itself as it was in 1950 so the Norks feel more at home…
