'Yonhap said the North Korean authorities had declared a state of emergency in the area and cut off all international telephone lines, apparently to stop news of the accident spreading. '

The London Underground services something like 2.6million people/trips a day. Three thousand during the lunch-time rush on one of the country's main lines was getting off pretty light.

Damn shame, that. I couldn't care less which country they're from, they're still people. Toronto's a pretty big place, and in addition to the normal downtown subway, there is also a long-distance train, which is usually packed at rush hour. De-rail one of those, and only 3000 victims would be sheer luck.

de-railing generally isn't that bad then a large fireball.

anyway, the funny thing is, the only reason we even know this is because somebody in China saw the fireball......

:lol: And the only reason we know about Hiroshima is the hundreds of thousands of people who had the skin stripped from their bodies and survived to live out the rest of their short-ass lives in agonizing pain :lol:.

eh?

really, if this happened in the middle of North Korea, how long would it take to get the news to the rest of the world?

similar thing could have happened in the city where I went to high school. train with about 5 wagons of propane gas derailed in the middle of the city. had it exploded, everything within a 300 meter radius would've been fuct. luckily, it didn't.

Interesting the part how the petroleum the trains were carrying was a "gift" from China.

I can't fathom that....3,000 people, and they're worried about the "news" spreading.  Talk about f-ed up priorities....

the trains collided and exploded at a train station in a town. The explosion and debris did the most damage to the surrounding area, not those on the train itself - it was carrying highly explosive chemicals and whatnot unfortunatley.

oh, and it said 3000 killed OR INJURED

most will have been hit by debris and suffered injuries, or caught in the blazes that followed from the explosion.

Oh, who cares, its only North Koreans. Damn dirty communists! Just cuts down on the bodies when we invade them later.

Oi-vey. Poor bastards. Shame Kim Jong-il was already on his way home though. Some (tiny) good could have come out of it if he just happened to be on of the 3000.
