My heart goes out to North Korea today
Thousands die in accident/blast in North Korea
North Koreans are living in the armpit of Hell-on-earth and they suffer non-stop oppression and misery . . . and then something like this happens that just rubs the salt into the wounds.
My heart goes out to them, I hope that you can put a thought outward into the universe for these poor people . . . .

As it is, Kim didn't die and so it just is one more tragedy for that nation to have to bear. I have alot of second generation Korean friends who hope that one day the (real) DPRK will be free and the people there will not be oppressed. I hope for the same as well.
Two planes demolish two of the tallest buildings in downtown Manhattan. Holocaust.
'Only' 3000 people die.
Two trains collide in a station in a tiny town.

Something isn't right here ... my tin-foil hat is put on purely by the fact that NK is a brutal Soviet-style place where the news agencies lie and massive problems are covered up (sometimes with the complicit assistance of our security forces when it makes sense).
Where did you see pictures?

Something about this stinks of news management. I saw the place on the TV ... it's tiny. What I don't understand is this:

Nope. 'Up to 3000 killed *or injured*' Slight difference.
Also, what's the population of Ryongchon?
Edit: Thinking not that small... it looks to be just a few miles south of Sinjuiju, and the population of N. Pyongang Province is 2.4M. (http://210.145.168.243/pk/087th_issue/99032501.htm)
