[NATIONAL] Authorities criticized over botched response to flooded tunnel in Osong

 

Local authorities in Osong, Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province, are facing widespread criticism over a lack of execution of safety measures in response to a flooded tunnel in the area which has left at least nine people dead as of Sunday afternoon.
충북 청주시 오송읍 지하차도가 침수돼 일요일 오후 기준 최소 9명이 숨지고 사망자는 더 늘어날 것으로 예상돼 해당 지방자치단체가 큰 비판을 받고 있다.

Critics view that the accident, which occurred amid the days-long torrential rain, could have been prevented had the local municipalities taken preemptive measures such as closing the tunnel and establishing other traffic controls.
