(Flying Doctors Korea Crisis Education) Hello everyone!
I am Park Chan-il, a counterterrorism security expert currently engaged in the field after serving in the military for over eight years
specializing in special operations at the 707 Special Mission Battalion
I will briefly explain the types of crisis situations
(Type of Crisis Situation - Common Crime) The first type of common crime
involves the individual offender's pursuit of sexual satisfaction, immediate release of anger or hatred
Generally committed to satisfies the offender's personal desires
These crimes are often spontaneous, even if they are planned
the planning period is relatively short-term, and they are not intricately detailed
To reduce the risk of becoming a victim of Common crime
it is advisable to avoid visiting dangerous places or areas where crime is likely to occur
(Type of Crisis Situation - Bomb Terrorism) The second type is bomb terrorism
Which involves hiding explosives in mail or planting them in buildings
It can also involve loading explosives onto vehicles to detonate them at target locations
Explosive terrorism is the most prevalent form of terrorism occurring in various countries worldwide
And causes the greatest harm to human life and property
(Type of Crisis Situation - Hostage Terrorism) The third type, hostage terrorism or kidnapping
Mainly occurs in areas with poor security
In many cases, the motive behind hostage-taking is to demand a ransom for the release of the hostages
Since hostage situations can be prolonged, it is important to protect personal hygiene and physical well-being
As an example from South Korea
The most notable long-term kidnapping case involved four crew members of the MV Gemini, who were held hostage by Somali pirates for a duration of 582 days
(Type of Crisis Situation - Chemical, Biological, and Radiological Terrorism) The fourth type is chemical, biological, and radiological terrorism
It includes acts such as chemical terrorism which involves the dispersal of lethal toxic gases
Biological terrorism, which involves the dissemination of bacteria or other pathogens
And radiological terrorism, which involves the dispersal of radioactive materials using explosives
One of the most notable cases of chemical terrorism is
(In March 1995, a sarin gas attack occurred in the Tokyo subway, orchestrated by the religious cult Aum Shinrikyo) in Japan on March 20, 1995
(Aum Shinrikyo, founded by its leader Shoko Asahara (Chizuo Matsumoto) in 1987, was a newly emerging religious cult that advocated apocalyptic beliefs.) The sarin gas attack carried out by the Aum Shinrikyo cult
The incident resulted in 13 deaths and approximately 6,300 injuries
The motive behind the attack was to disrupt the ongoing investigations into the cult and create chaos in the Tokyo metropolitan area
(Type of Crisis Situation - Hate Crimes) The fifth type is hate crimes
which involve ongoing incidents of crimes committed by Western individuals against Asians
(These crimes occur due to hatred and animosity based on characteristics such as race, sexuality, and nationality
They often manifest as imitations or trends, with concentrated occurrences in specific regions during certain periods
These hate crimes exhibit a collective nature, where individuals share and perpetuate a culture of criminal behavior
(Type of Crisis Situation - Disasters) The sixth type is disasters
Which primarily occur in the form of natural calamities. While some disasters can be predicted, they can still result in significant damage, especially when they occur overseas
Tsunamis have destructive power that is more than three times that of an earthquake, and when they occur, it is important to quickly evacuate to higher ground
When an earthquake occurs, it is important to move after the shaking has stopped
To prevent typhoon damage, it is important to pay attention to weather forecasts and adjust your business or travel schedules accordingly
You should avoid visiting areas where typhoon warnings or advisories have been issued
The representative event is the Great East Japan Earthquake in Fukushima Prefecture on March 11, 2011
As a result, a tsunami occurred, causing 15,897 deaths and 2,534 people missing
