At the moment of the accident, the truck was traveling on a road about 10 meters from where the bomb fell, carrying military facility maintenance workers, including the driver, Mr. Chang.
As they were moving to another unit after finishing their work as usual, a bomb suddenly flew by, seriously injuring two people, including Mr. Chang, and one other person with minor injuries.
He was taken to hospital with shrapnel still lodged in his neck and underwent surgery. When he woke up, the hospital told him and his family that it was "fate."
According to YTN on the 17th, Chang's son said, "The surgeon said that we were lucky to avoid two dangerous veins and arteries."
It was reported that Jang had lost his wife in February of this year, and was still recovering from the shock when the bombing happened. Jang's son said, "As a family member, we are really angry.
"From now on, the residents will have to continue living here. I would like the government to express its position more forcefully and accurately so that their wounded and anxious hearts can be healed," he said.
More than 30 civilians and about 10 soldiers were injured in the accident. On the 13th, Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon visited the scene of the accident in Pocheon and announced, "Pocheon City has started providing emergency disaster relief funds.
We have decided to provide 1 million won (approximately 100,000 yen), but Gyeonggi Province also plans to swiftly provide separate daily recovery support funds, disaster compensation for the injured, and disaster relief and emergency recovery costs."
"We are considering providing more support than Pocheon City, and we are also discussing the scope of the support," he said. The military authorities have filed charges against the two pilots for professional negligence resulting in injury and damage to military facilities in connection with the accident, and are launching a full-scale investigation.
The Ministry of National Defense's investigation headquarters will investigate what kind of negligence occurred in the process of inputting the coordinates of the pilots and whether there was proper command and supervision.
It can be seen.
