[unreal.livejournal.com]

A South Korean bus plunged off a bridge connecting with the Incheon international airport, A bus has fallen off an elevated road as it was heading to South Korea's main airport, killing 12 passengers and injuring another 12, police said.

Police official Kang Bong-soo said the bus hit a guard-rail as it was trying to avoid a broken-down car and fell about 30 feet from the road near a bridge in Incheon, west of Seoul.

He said the bus was carrying 24 people, and the driver and a 52-year-old Mongolian man were among the injured as well as two children aged five and seven.

Police said the injured were being treated in nearby hospitals, and most were not in a serious condition.

The bridge, which opened last year, links Incheon and nearby Yeongjong Island - home to Incheon International Airport.

I was on the way to the Incheon airport when the accident occurred. It scares me to think how I was so near to it.

RIP to those that passed away.

Aren't guardrails supposed to be there so things like this don't happen? If they break on contact then..idek


I wish nothing but strength onto the families of those killed and injured.

They have seat belts? Most american buses don't except for the drivers seat so I don't know.

are there no breakdown lanes for cars? I hate these sorts of stories because it seems like if the drivers had been paying attention to the road or there cars it could have been avoided.
