The sound of something falling to the ground is loud.
A man walking down the street screams as if he was hit by something.
“Aaaahhh!”
On the afternoon of the 13th, cement powder and gravel poured down from an apartment construction site in Dong-gu, Daejeon.
A resident who was hit by a fallen gravel suffered a head injury and was treated at a hospital.
[A 씨 / 피해 주민 : 자갈로 머리를 막 여러 번 맞았습니다. 위에 바라보는 와중에 시멘트 가루가 막 떨어져서 눈에 들어가서….]
It wasn’t just the surrounding roads.
Gravel and cement also poured into residential areas adjacent to the construction site.
Parked cars were covered in cement, and some had broken windows after being hit by gravel.
The rear windshield of the car, which had been hit several times by the spilled gravel, had holes in various places and was completely cracked.
Residents complain that more than one vehicle has been damaged by falling objects and how the protection measures of large construction companies can be so lax.
[A 씨 / 피해 주민 : 차는 다 비닐로 덮어놨습니다. 그리고 그 위에 스티로폼까지. (반면) 통행하는 차량이나 통행하는 사람들에 대한 안전 조치는 하나도 없었습니다.]
Some residents said that they felt fear for their lives beyond anxiety at the thought that a rock might fall on their heads.
[이순자 / 근처 주민 : 내가 진짜 너무 억울한 게 내 집 가지고 살면서도 편히 못 산다는 거. 돌 떨어질 때 여기 잘못 나오면 큰일 나지. 생명에도 위험이 있지 않을까?]
A construction company official apologized, saying that the incident occurred when dust and gravel were blown away by the wind during the pouring of concrete in the high-rise section.
He emphasized that he would provide sufficient compensation for the damage suffered by nearby residents and that he would thoroughly prevent recurrence during future construction to prevent similar incidents from happening.
Daejeon Dong-gu Office announced that it plans to conduct an additional on-site investigation and take necessary administrative action against the construction company that laxly managed falling objects.
