Three People Killed By Fallen Elevator in Sokcho
Condolences to the friends and family of the victims of this terrible accident in Sokcho:
Three people were killed and three injured as an elevator fell at an apartment construction site in Sokcho, Gangwon Province, Wednesday morning, rescue workers and reports said.
The three were riding in the elevator when it dropped 15 floors to the ground at 8:28 a.m. The fourth also in the elevator survived the fall and was transported to hospital.
The remaining two ― foreign workers from Uzkekistan ― were on the ground and hit by debris when the elevator fell. They were also taken to hospital. All casualties were workers.
It was not immediately known what caused one of the two elevators, installed outside the 30-story building, to fall. Police said that the workers were working to dissemble the elevators.
Korea Times
As unfortunate as this accident is, it highlights something besides Korea’s appalling observance of safety procedures. Why with high unemployment, for Korea, is Korea still allowing foreign workers in? Korea should be actively removing foreign workers and Koreans can get to work like their fathers and grandfathers, manual labor is not beneath them. But no, commie moon will keep bringing in foreign workers and at the same time put able body young Koreans on welfare and unemployment. The insanity of it all.
Flyingsword, it’s part of the Globalist playbook.
FS: You’re wrong. Manual labor is beneath them these days. They’d rather go on the dole than do “3D” work.
