터키 눈사태로 최소 20명의 구조대원 사망 터키에서 오늘 눈사태로 적어도 16명의 구조대원이 사망했는데, 그들이 앞서 발생한 눈사태로 실종된 2명을 찾기 위해 수색작업을 하던 중 5명이 사망했다. 300명의 응급구조대원들이 어젯밤 바세시르 근처에서 발생한 첫 눈사태에서 실종된 두 명의 희생자를 찾고 있는 가운데 두 번째 사고가 오늘 발생했다. 메키 아르바스 시장은 오늘 발생한 눈사태로 경찰관 8명과 정부 경비원 3명, 소방관 1명이 사망했으며 최소 15명이 눈 속에 묻혀 있다고 전했다. 영상에는 폭설로 인해 적어도 세 대의 차량이 언덕 아래쪽에 전복된 상태를 보여주었다. 어떤 구조대원들은 눈더미에서 벗어나기 위해 가파른 경사면을 오르고 있었고, 다른 구조대원들은 삽과 곡괭이로 미친 듯이 눈을 파고 있었다. 안개와 폭설, 강풍 등으로 구조작업이 차질을 빚었다. 술레이만 소울루 내무장관은 기자들에게 11명의 구조대원의 시신이 가파른 경사면에 쌓인 눈더미에서 발견되었다고 말했다. 이들 중에는 8명의 헌병대와 3명의 마을 경비원이 포함되었다. 메흐메트 에민 빌메즈 주지사는 나중에 소방관 한 명도 사망했다고 말했다. 긴급구조대는 정부 재난대책본부와 의료구조대원을 포함해 여전히 눈 속에 파묻혀 있는 동료 15명까지 수색하고 있었다. 30여명의 응급구조대원들이 눈 속에서 구조되거나 탈출해 수요일에 병원에 입원했다고 내무부가 발표했다. 황기철 콘페이퍼 에디터 큐레이터 Ki Chul Hwang, conpaper editor, curator |

At least 16 rescue workers were killed by an avalanche in Turkey today as they searched for two people missing in an earlier landslide that left five dead.
The second disaster struck today as 300 emergency workers were searching for the two missing victims from last night's first avalanche near Bahcesehir.
The two avalanches struck near Bahcesehir, in south eastern Turkey, leaving at least 21 people dead and several missing
Eight police officers, three government guards and a firefighter were among the dead in today's avalanche and at least 15 others are buried under the snow, local mayor Meki Arvas said.
Video from the scene showed at least three overturned vehicles at the bottom of a hill during a snow storm.
Some rescuers were climbing a steep incline to get away from the mass of snow while others dug frantically into the snow with shovels and pick-axes.

Fog, heavy snow and strong winds were hampering the rescue efforts.
Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu told reporters that 11 rescuers' bodies were recovered from the mass of snow on the steep slope. They included eight military police officers and three government-paid village guards. Gov. Mehmet Emin Bilmez later said a firefighter was also killed.
Emergency teams were searching for up to 15 colleagues still buried under the snow, including members from the government's disaster response agency and its medical rescue team.
Some 30 emergency workers were either rescued or escaped from under the snow and were hospitalized Wednesday, the Interior Ministry said. There was no further information on their conditions.
