Around noon today, part of the roof of the Anyang Agricultural and Marine Products Wholesale Market in Gyeonggi Province collapsed.
So far, one person has been found to have been injured, but police and firefighters are continuing to search for lives.
There is a reporter on the scene. Reporter Yoon Taein!
[Reporter]

The damage seems to be huge, so please tell us about the situation on the site.
[Reporter]
Yes, you'll see the market building that collapsed behind me.
As the roof sits down, the ceiling is almost touching the floor, and access is completely controlled.
A video of the accident was reported to YTN, and I will explain it in detail while looking at the screen.
It was filmed at 12:06 p.m. today.
Suddenly, sparks start to fly from the ceiling of the market, which seemed uneventful.
Then the ceiling crumbles, and people run out as if they were surprised and run away.
It took less than 10 seconds for the market roof to collapse, as you can see.
We arrived at the site and listened to the merchants.
It is said that there have already been signs since yesterday, such as a sound like an iron pipe bursting.
Because of this, everyone has been evacuated from the market since this morning,
The merchants say that
suddenly made a huge roar and the whole thing collapsed.

The accident happened in an instant, but did the damage count?
[Reporter]
Yes, the fire department held a briefing after the accident.
As traders said, there have been signs since yesterday, and from this morning, the signs of collapse have become clear, leading to a halt in entry and operations.
However, 12 people remained inside the market until just before the accident, and 11 were confirmed to have escaped safely immediately after the accident.
However, one guest is being treated at the hospital after lightly injuring his head and knee due to falling objects during evacuation.
Police and firefighters believe the building collapsed because it couldn't overcome the weight of the snow.
While conducting a rescue safety diagnosis, we are also continuing our search for lives with thermal imaging cameras and buried detector.
The policy is to identify the exact cause as soon as the work is completed.
So far, I am YTN Yoon Tae-in at Anyang Agricultural and Marine Products Market in Gyeonggi Province.
