In an uncharacteristic step by the North Korean government, officials have
made a public apology after a building collapse in Pyongyang reportedly
led to the death of hundreds of people.
.
Officials including the country's Minister of People's Security offered
"profound consolation and apology" to the family members of those that
died in the 24-storey building collapse on Tuesday.
.
Reports also say that the leader of the secretive Communist state, Kim
Jong-un, had been deeply affected by the accident and that he had "sat up
all night, feeling painful" when he had heard about the accident.
.
North Korean authorities rarely give coverage to incidents that might lead
to negative public perceptions, however in this case, not only did KCNA,
North Korea's state news channel, show images of the collapse, they also
showed footage of the rescue effort and statements of apology from
government officials.
.
It is unknown exactly how many people died as a result of the tragedy, but
it is thought around one hundred families had lived in the building many
of whom had moved in before construction had been properly completed.
.
In a statement released by KCNA, the government said: "The construction of
an apartment house was not done properly and officials supervised and
controlled it in an irresponsible manner."
.
In the aftermath of the accident, the Minister of People's Security, Choe
Pu-il, came forward to accept some of the responsibility for the tragedy.
