South Korea's deadliest fire in almost a decade has ripped through a hospital in the city of Miryang, killing at least 39 people and injuring more than 100.

The fire comes less than a month after a similar tragedy left 29 dead in the city of Jecheon, raising concerns over lax safety standards in the country.

Officials said they were still investigating the cause of Friday's fire, which is believed to have started around 7:20 a.m. local time in the emergency room on the first floor of the 98-bed Sejong Hospital.

Rescue services took three hours to completely extinguish the flames which engulfed the first two floors of the six-story building.

At press briefing, Son Kyung-chul, chairman of Sejong Hospital, said that sprinklers were not installed in the building due to its small size.

The majority of those killed in the blaze are believed to be elderly patients, said Chun Jae-kyung, head of the Public medical center in Miryang.

"Because the hospital had many intensive care units and elderly patients. There were a lot of people with breathing problems," Chun said. A total of 18 people remain in critical condition.

The hospital is adjacent to a nursing home and shares many of the same facilities. All the patients inside the nursing home were rescued, authorities confirmed.

Footage aired on local TV showed firefighters emergency workers rushing to evacuate patients, carrying some of them on their backs.
The recent spate of deadly fires has led to questions over the government's ability to enforce sufficient safety measures.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in announced he would convene an emergency staff meeting in response to the fire at Miryang, which is about 270km south-east of the capital Seoul.
In a statement, Moon promised to quickly identify the cause of the fire in order "to prevent the recurrence of the fire in the future."

Highway 101 reopened Sunday after a nearly
two-week closure triggered by Montecito's deadly mudslide had choked off most vehicle travel between Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. The highway which had been shut down since January 9 has now been reopened after 12 days of closure.

Below is the picture of before and after clean up.

Yes Sir.. Money is not a problem.. Please bro, tell me more about this English Proficiency test. Would it be a complex or simple English test?

The English test is just to test your knowledge of the language. It's a simple English which test your skills in Speaking, Writing, Reading and Listening. Once you practice you are good to go.

I’m planning to study in Germany. But I don’t have the block funds money which is €8900. My bro in Germany won’t help with a sponsorship letter. And an agent is charging €2500 for Sponsorship letter alone. Well I have to wait till I have the €8900 and like €4000 extra. Nah small thing GOE. I won’t allow any agent to use my head. The agents willl be talking like say nah them go give me the VISA lol.

I admire your thinking bro. Do not pay agent, I repeat do not pay agent for anything. All they do is complicate issues for you. Imagine paying €2500 for sponsorship letter when the blocked fund is €8900. Just go ahead and use blocked account it is the easiest way to get student visa.

Spygadgets19:
I also wanna travel to UK, Canada or US
....

But just for work alone...and if possible get citizenship

How do I go about it?

It all depends on your level of qualification and skills.

ItzChinnex:
Would be in Germany by next year by God's Grace and by Faith .. But wait oh, am in 400Level, when is the best time to start application for Masters? .Thanks

I would say start preparing right away because you are going to need English proficiency test. But the best time to apply for admission is Around November/December. And I hope you've got money for blocked account.

Adesquare1992:
Hello,
I graduated from Obafemi Awolowo University where I studied philosophy, I intend studying criminology at masters level. After surfing the internet for Universities in Belgium that offers Criminology,I found only one---KU LAUVEN.

Please I need comprehensive information on how to go about the admission process.

Secondly,I don't speak nor understand Deutch let alone French. Do I stand a chance to be admitted?

If the course you are going for is in English then you get a chance for admission without the knowledge of those two languages. Note that you have to submit English proficiency test.

If the OP has probably put totodikeh, snake, etc. It would have been a straight passport to front page.

The thing about studying in these non-English speaking countries is that you have to learn the language, but I love them sha

That's a lie. There are many opportunity to study in all those countries and you don't have to speak their language before you study because some programmes are in English like the OP wrote. You only need their language to get a good job.

You can visit this blog www.arrhem.com too, the site is very educative with lots of scholarships opportunity.

worry357:
So do you believe that someone with a degree form a small university gets the same job opertunities as someone with a degree from Oxford or Cambridge?
Please grow up and join the real world!

A graduates job prospects very much depend on the reputation that the school has.
Even down to the department in the school makes a difference!.

What's dis one saying, we all know dat Cambridge and Oxford University are top best universities in d world and we can't compare it with UAS. Do u even know what furthering of education is?
Oga abeg pack well dey just created dis thrend and I don't want to start any argument.


Fola.

OP, I think dis thrend is divided into two part, Abeg delete one. Abi na only me dey see am ni?



Fola.

worry357:
Polytechnic in most countries is seen as lower education that university.
Much less chance of a good job later on.

Who told u dat?

UAS also known as polytechnic offers most undergraduate programme in english and at end of ur degree u have ur B.Sc, B.Eng etc which is d same as what u will have in d university.

UAS are also more gud at practicals, So who told u dey have less chance of getting a job. Less I forget most university offers undergraduate programme in swedish and finnish language, and a few of dem dat offers it are very competitive.

Do ur research well.

Thanks Larry for creating dis thead.

U guys viewing should come out and comment especially ghost reader. Let share information together.

[color=#770077][/color][sub][/sub]
You guys should come out and comment here. Some are just viewing dis thread.

Make I call on Ezekielibel, Inusah, Leonard, Peluvic and co.

ask anything wey dey bother ur mind about dis undergraduate programme and we will be glad to answer dem

For those of us aspiring for d undergraduate programme let's make sure we prepare our document ready before january,(international passport, original certificate, Ielts) and let wait for them to decide where to write d entrance exam.

When applying for d joint applicaton for d undergraduate study, u will be ask to choose at least 6 study programme. Make sure u do ur reseach very well about d university and course of study.

Thanks.

I agree with what Sureboy said. The problem with d undergraduate programme is d entrance exam because dey don't arrange it in Nigeria anymore and for d past two years dey have been using Kenya as d only african country though a friend of mine who is also on nairaland told me someone wrote in cameroun.

Since there is no harm in trying I call on anybody who is interested in applying for undergraduate programme in finland come next year to PM me. Who knows they might decide to use Togo, Cotonu, Cameroun, Ghana or other neighboring country.
