Parapet collapse claimed one life

On February 14, a parapet on Metro Line 4 collapsed, killing one person. According to the prosecution, preliminary findings suggest that the concrete precast parapet was installed on the night of February 12 using a turnbuckle mechanism.

However, it had not been fully concretised. The structure, positioned at the end corner of a segment, was scheduled for concreting the following day. Before that could be completed, it collapsed on February 14, leading to the fatal accident.
