Blame Game for Deadly Tunnel Flooding in South Korea Begins

The blame game for the deadly tunnel flooding in South Korea is already beginning. I wonder how long before the Korean left tries to blame President Yoon for this?:

Local authorities in Osong, Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province, are facing widespread criticism over a lack of execution of safety measures in response to a flooded tunnel in the area which has left at least nine people dead as of Sunday afternoon.

Critics view that the accident, which occurred amid the days-long torrential rain, could have been prevented had the local municipalities taken preemptive measures such as closing the tunnel and establishing other traffic controls. 

According to the Korea Fire Agency, Gungpyeong 2 Underpass in Osong was submerged around 8:45 a.m., Saturday, after the banks of the nearing Miho River collapsed due to heavy rainfall in the region. 

The four-lane, 430-meter-long underground passage was flooded by some six tons of water in just three minutes, leaving 15 vehicles ― including a public bus and two trucks ― trapped inside. It is unclear exactly how many individuals were trapped, but the police said at least 11 individuals were reported to be missing in the tunnel, excluding nine survivors who were rescued soon after the flooding as of Saturday.

It will take less than 2 seconds for the left to blame Pres. Yoon.

Government put out numerous warnings to avoid low ground, land slide areas etc. They made the choice to drive into the tunnel. You live and die by your own choices. It is not up to the government to hold my hand everywhere.
