The Gwangju bus driver’s tears, heavy equipment driver, etc. 4 people booked
“The passengers behind the bus cried, “Save me, save me,” and I was really crazy…”
Lee Sung-woo, 57, who took the steering wheel of bus No. 54 in a pile of debris when a building being demolished collapsed in Hak-dong, Dong-gu, Gwangju, on the 9th, gave a long sigh in an interview with the Munhwa Ilbo on the 11th, recalling the moment of the accident. Lee said, “I couldn’t move at all until I was rescued because my head and hands were stuck in the structure right after the accident.” He heard passengers’ voices saying, “Save me when I’m under the rubble.””I haven’t been able to talk for a while.It is the first time for Mr. Lee to reveal the situation on the bus at the time of the accident. A total of 17 people were on the bus that day, and eight passengers in the back were killed. Lee was rescued about an hour after he was laid on a bus on the 9th and was transferred to the emergency room of Chonnam National University Hospital and is currently being treated in a general ward. Although the condition was not good at the time of the transfer, it is currently recovering.
I wish I could go faster!I wish I could go slower! I’m afraid you’re going to beat yourself up like this. It’s not your fault, so please don’t push yourself too hard.
