I've always worked retail and sometimes I wonder what it'd be like to just be working on an average day and all the sudden like half the roof collapses or the air conditioner units fall through the ceiling and stuff.

The collapse is the largest peacetime disaster in South Korean history as 502 people died and 937 were injured. It was the deadliest building collapse since the Circus Maximus collapse in c. 140 AD and until the September 11 attacks in New York City, and the deadliest non-terror-related building collapse until the 2013 Savar building collapse near Dhaka.

Apparently 13,000 people died in the Circus Maximus collapse.
And in 27 AD a Fidenae amphitheatre collapsed and killed 20,000 people.
Fucking insane, I can't even imagine having to deal with the recovery and removal of 13,000-20,000 bodies.
