Korea "Tunnel" Fire: At least 5 dead in Gwacheon overpass fire
Very bad development. In western media it write "tunnel" but it is not underground tunnel. It is a covered overpass road.
A fire broke out in a covered overpass of an expressway in Gwacheon, Gyeonggi Province, Thursday afternoon, killing at least five people and injuring nearly 40 others.

This accident shows the importance of not using flammable materials in tunnel construction. I think the contractors and the project owners have miserably failed in this case. They have built a nice looking covered rood which would burst into flames when two vehicles collides.
Who were the contractors by the way?
@Carlos I don't know contractors. Today all such structures and sound walls are suspect in Korea.
