Big fire at Unam-dong factory.

A big fire broke out yesterday evening at a factory in Gwangju's Unam-dong, across from Mudeung Stadium. Here's a short video report from YTN.

And here are a couple pictures I took yesterday while walking from Geumnamno 5-ga Station to Hyundai Department Store at 5:53 pm, thirteen minutes after the fire is said to have started.




I live in Unam-dong (운암동, not 우남동, we have both), and when I type 운암동 into Naver, it suggeests 운암동화재, referring to this fire, and 운암동성당, referring to the serial killer arrested at a church in the neighborhood

Wow...I was walking home from work at around 6 and saw what looked to be huge amounts of smoke blowing south. You could easily see the smoke from the subway line near Hwajeong Station. Nice pics...
