Скачать или смотреть Hospital fire in Miryang, southeastern Korea kills 37 people and injures many more

밀양 화재참사

A deadly blaze killed dozens and injured many others at a hospital in Miryang.
We go live to our Cha Sang-mi at the site in Gyeongsangnam-do Province.
Sang-mi do fill us in what we have learned so far.

Yes Daniel, as of now the fire at Sejong Hospital in Miryang has killed 37 and injured over 70 people. But the death toll could rise as some of the injured are in a critical condition.
The fire started at around 7-30 in the morning and it took about two hours for firefighters to completely put it out.
Some 2-hundred patients were inside the building and the nursing home next to it at the time of the incident.
Authorities here in Miryang believe the fire could have originated in the nurses' changing room near the emergency room on the first floor of the main building of Sejong Hospital.
All 94 patients who were at the adjoining nursing home were safely evacuated.
But elderly patients had a hard time moving and some had to be carried on firefighters' and hospital workers' backs.

It hasn't been that long since the last time such a disaster took lives in the nation.
Hopefully our response this time was visibly improved.

That's right Daniel, it's only been just over a month since another deadly fire in a sports complex in Jecheon, which claimed 29 lives.
Miryang is about 2-hundred-and-70 kilometers south-east of Seoul and the hospital has been operating since 2008.
Some 40 fire trucks and 2 helicopters were dispatched to put out the fire and rescue those inside the hospital,... and people who sustained injuries were transferred to over six nearby hospitals.
As for the response measures, investigators from the police and National Forensic Service have been dispatched to hold an on-site inspection.
And the presidential office of Cheong Wa Dae said President Moon Jae-in convened an emergency staff meeting to address the fire.
The Interior and Safety Minister Kim Boo-kyum flew to the area to oversee the response operations.

Back to you Daniel.
