The Sampoong Department store collapse was on Discovery yesterday.

It was quite graphic and basically caused by greed

How about that shop girl - how long was she trapped for? I think it was 15 days! Now I'm scared to go in any korean department stores.

Actually I was scared already - a fire in one of those places would be a disaster.

I wouldn't want to be trapped in an elevator in this country. I've noticed that many of them don't have fans.

No fans = limited air

Ya, I just happened to see that show as well. Very well done. Ah, you can't go wrong with Discovery Channel. That girl was under for 17 days but she thought it was only about 4 maybe 5 days. She was the last survivor found.

I wonder what happened to the inspector who was called in, took photos that afternoon and told the chairman that everything was ok for now and that they could shore up the pillars in the evening. They briefly said something like he was afraid to speak out against the chairman's wishes.
