News: K-Pop Concert Catastrophe
By Christopher Reinbold, Contributor
According to CNN, tragedy struck at a K-Pop concert in South Korea this past Friday. A ventilation grate collapsed, resulting in those standing on it to plummet four stories into an underground parking structure. Sixteen people died and 11 people were injured.
The artists performing, popular girl group 4Minute, did not notice the tragedy that took place and continued their performance.
On top of these events, one of the men in charge of security for the concert was found Saturday on the street by his office. He was unresponsive. The 37-year-old official is assumed to have committed suicide after the previous day’s events. He had been interrogated by police about the incident. The man left a note saying, “I am sorry for the dead victims. Please, take care of my children.” He also left a final post on his Facebook page stating, “I apologize to the victims. I’m sorry to my family.”
