7 Tourists Injured in Seoul Tower Cable Car Accident
Anyone want to place a bet that this cable car operator was busy looking at his phone?:
The police investigating a cable car accident that took place at N Seoul Tower on Friday will book an employee who was in charge of the operations control at the time.
The Namdaemun Police Station said the individual will be taken into custody on charges of professional negligence resulting in injury.
In earlier police questioning, the employee is known to have said that he was late in putting the brakes on the cable car because he hadn’t been paying attention.
At around 7:15 p.m. Friday, the cable car carrying 20 passengers failed to slow down while entering the platform and crashed into the safety fence.
Seven passengers including two foreign tourists suffered minor injuries and were taken to a nearby hospital.
Cable car rides at the N Seoul Tower have since been suspended for mechanical inspections.

Incompetence vs. Malice?
Why didn’t commie moon step in to prevent this?
Less than $100 in parts would make an automated backup system to shut everything down if it was exceeding the correct speed upon approach.
For three dollars, you get a warning buzzer.
The price is unclear for a hungover ajashi looking at schoolgirl bondage pr0n on his phone.
CH, these days you can’t be sure it was little girls he was watching… He might have been a Moon supporter…
wow so all the things in korean films are true
Again, this happens under the rightwing administration. Coincidence or bad spirit?
