[VIDEO NEWS] The families of the victims of the Jecheon blaze speak up about safety problems
2) Ryu Geon-deok (representative of the families): “Mr. Chairman and the honorable members of the committee, I would like to ask a question. What has changed [when it comes to dealing with tragedies?] How has it changed? What is the difference between the Sewol tragedy and the Jecheon tragedy? Until now, the bereaved families of the victims of the Sewol tragedy have been gulping down their tears while reading the last text messages they received from the victims. We also feel miserable. Whenever we brood over the phone calls saying ‘Save me, dad, save me, honey!’ it breaks our hearts.”
