Seven People Die Trying to Save Cars in Flooded Parking Garage in Pohang

It is amazing how many people died trying to save cars that could have easily been repaired or fixed with insurance:

Rescue workers carry a survivor out of the flooded underground parking lot of an apartment building in Pohang, North Gyeongsang Province, southeastern South Korea, on Sept. 6, 2022, after nine residents went missing following the torrential rains caused by Typhoon Hinnamnor that hit the region.

Nine people have been pulled from a flooded parking garage in the southeastern city of Pohang, two of them alive, with the seven others having died after being found in cardiac arrest, as the search continued for any remaining victims in the wake of Typhoon Hinnamnor.

All of them had been trapped in the underground parking lot at an apartment complex in Pohang, about 270 km southeast of Seoul, after going there to move their cars amid heavy downpours brought on by the typhoon.

Rescue workers searched the flooded garage and pulled the nine people out of the water.
