Olympic Bridge

A bridge over the Han River, a bridge with painful memories of the death of all passengers when a Sinook helicopter that was carrying a flame model at the top of the spire crashed.

The picture tells. I have a lot of wind on my legs, I recommend it when it is warm and at sunset. Even though the Olympic Bridge is constructed, there is a sick history. Let's not forget them.

It is the first cable-stayed bridge made of concrete in Korea. The bridge is about 1.5 km long and connects Gwangjin-gu (Guui, Gwangjang-dong) and Songpa-gu (Pungnam-dong). There are 4 main towers with a height of 88m, which means the 1988 Seoul Olympics, and there is a sculpture on the top. The 24 cables connected here are said to represent the 24th Seoul Olympic Games. There are sidewalks on both sides of the bridge, so you can walk on it, but it is not included in the bridge you want to walk on like Gwangjingyo. But at night when the lights are on, it can look pretty cool. Especially on a snowy night when the lights are on, if you go up there, you will freeze to death from the cold and wind, but the scene where the snow falls under the lights is really amazing. Therefore, I personally think that it is the most beautiful bridge in the Han River, especially when it is lit up at night. However, this Olympic Bridge is not just a beautiful bridge. This is because one CH47 belonging to the Republic of Korea Army crashed while putting a sculpture on the main tower in 2001, and all three people on board were killed. It was even more heartbreaking for me to actually witness all those scenes in the vicinity. In fact, CH47 is a day? Two days? I've tried to put the sculpture on the pylon before, but it has been unsuccessful. Then, on the day of the accident, it finally succeeded in putting it on the pylon, but the cable connected to the sculpture did not come off, so the helicopter moved its fuselage little by little to remove it. However, just before the collision, the cable connected to the sculpture was disconnected, allowing the sculpture to remain in its place. Perhaps the crashed helicopter was a prank from God, only the rear part of the fuselage was left behind and the front part of the fuselage was overturned and crashed into the Han River. Also, at this time, there was a UH60 in the air near the riverside technomart, and I thought it might have played a role in delivering various information to Chinook. In any case, they must have vividly witnessed the crash of the CH47 on which their comrades were riding.... They must have been the second most grieved after the bereaved family. After the accident, the Olympic Bridge went through a safety diagnosis and has been standing next to us with the sculpture like that. Was it because I actually witnessed that scene? When I look at the sculptures of the Olympic Bridge, I still remember the accident and pray for the rest of the three who died each time in my heart.
