Excerpts from 14 online comments:
h20********:
The basic method of constructing airports in Korea is to use concrete and blocks.
1. All airports are surrounded by block walls.
2. It is extremely dangerous if the surrounding block walls are not removed.
a*****:
Why are there so many concrete walls in Korea, which should not be common sense in the world?
I would like to know the purpose of the concrete walls.
The capsizing of the Seowul in Korea:
A passenger ship sank in Korea on April 16, 2014.
304 of the 476 passengers and crew were killed.
This is the worst maritime disaster to have occurred in Korea.
Itaewon incident in Seoul:
Itaewon, a busy shopping district in Seoul, the capital of South Korea, on the night of October 29, 2022.
An accident caused by a crowd avalanche that occurred during the crowded Halloween season.
It was clearly a man-made disaster. It should never have happened. It’s a shame.
