Four Killed and Six Injured After Bridge Collapses at South Korea Construction Site
At least four people lost their lives, and six others were injured on Tuesday after a tragic collapse at a highway construction site south of Seoul, South Korea.
The incident happened at around 9:49 a.m. local time in Anseong, about 70 km from the capital. Five massive concrete structures, each 50 meters long and meant to support a highway bridge, collapsed one after another while being lifted into place by a crane.
Ko Kyung-man, an Anseong fire official, confirmed that four people died, including two Chinese nationals. Among the six injured, five were critically hurt, with one of them also being a Chinese citizen.
“They were installing a deck on the bridge when the collapse happened. All ten workers were on the deck and fell from both sides,” Ko explained.
Following the incident, Acting President Choi Sang-mok ordered emergency responders to use all available resources to find any missing workers and prevent further danger.
The National Fire Agency deployed nearly 150 personnel and three helicopters for the search and rescue effort, while the Transport Ministry also sent officials to assess the situation.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
