SEOUL, South Korea, July 19 PRNewswire-USNewswire — Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Sun Myung Moon and eleven other passengers involved in a helicopter accident in South Korea Saturday afternoon, July 19, were not seriously injured in the incident, according to church spokesman Dr. Chang Shik Yang.
The helicopter, a Sikorsky S-92, was on its way from Seoul, the South Korean capital, to the Cheon Jeong Goong Museum, located in Seorakmyeon, Kapyeonggun. The helicopter left the Jamsil heliport at 4:40 p.m. and ran into sudden inclement weather about twenty minutes later and made an emergency landing on a nearby hill.
All thirteen passengers and three crew members were taken to the nearby Cheong Shim International Hospital. Two of the party suffered minor injuries. Ms. Jiseon Lim (30) is being treated for bruised vertebrae and Mr. Kibyeong Youn for light abrasions. Both are expected to make a full recovery, according to Dr. Yang. The crew and the other passengers, including Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Sun Myung Moon, were treated and released and are resting and recuperating.
Shortly after all the passengers had safely exited the helicopter, it caught on fire and was destroyed.
Moon, now 88, has maintained a busy schedule of religious and charitable activities since returning to his homeland. The party was returning from a meeting with church leaders in Seoul when the accident occurred.
