해운대, 태풍 지나가자 폐목재로 뒤범벅, 이유는?

해운대가 태풍 나크리로 인해 폐목재에 뒤덮혔다.

4일 오전 해운대구 관계자는 "파라다이스호텔 앞~미포 입구 500m 구간의 해수욕장 백사장에 150여 톤의 폐목재가 밀려와 수거작업을 하고 있다"고 밝혔다.

지난 주말 제 12호 태풍 나크리(NAKRI)가 휩쓸고 간 부산 해운대 해수욕장은 엄청난 양의 폐목재로 뒤덮여있다. 여름철 관광지로 유명한 만큼 피서객과 상인들을 폐목재로 인해 울상을 짓고 있다.

본격적인 휴가철을 맞이해 대목을 노렸던 상인들은 태풍 나크리의 영향으로 입욕 통제에 이어 또 다시 영업에 차질을 빚게 됐다.

해운대구 관계자는 이날 "중장비를 동원해 제거작업을 벌여야 하는데 워낙 양이 많아 시간이 걸릴 것 같다"며 "오는 9일 또 다른 태풍 할롱(HALONG)이 북상한다니 걱정"이라고 밝혔다.

해운대 폐목재 폭탄 소식을 접한 네티즌은 "해운대 폐목재, 저거 언제 다 치워" "해운대 폐목재, 이번 여름 휴가는 지나간 듯" 등의 반응을 보였다.

Typhoon Nakri kills 10, injures 2 in S. Korea


At least 10 people were killed and two injured in South Korea as Typhoon Nakri battered the country's southern region over the weekend, toppling trees and inundating bridges, Yonhap News quoted disaster officials as saying Monday.

One person was hit and killed by an airborne object at a South Jeolla Province farm, the central disaster management agency said, announcing the death toll as of 6 a.m. Monday, according to the report.

 Another person was killed and two others hurt after a tree toppled over them at a camping site in North Gyeongsang Province, the agency said.

 A family of six, including two infants, and a friend died after being swept away by rain-swollen water as they drove over an inundated bridge in North Gyeongsang, it added. (From news report)
