Fire Ravages South Korea Landmark

The title of my article is Fire ravages South Korea landmark. Namdaemun, the Great South Gate, was destroyed maybe because of an arson attack. The Gate was the oldest wooden gate of South Korea made in 14th century, and it was considered as the first national treasure in Seowl. The blaze happened on February 10th and burned most parts. The gate was ok during Japanese occupation and the Korean War. Koreans are sorrowful. It is said that it will take three years to repair and cost $21 million.

This is a terrible news. The arson should not be happened because people lose valuable old buildings and people may be involved. In Japan, there are two huge statues of Buddha, and one of them was burned right hand because of an arson. Many Japanese were shocked and I understand how Koreans feel now. It is difficult to restore because old people used a classic architecture. The cost might be a problem, too. Japan will probably start some campaigns to raise maney for Korea. If it was an arson, the arsonist should be given a death sentence. I hope the police analyze the cause of fire.
