As of late afternoon, the N.Korean government had shut down all news
agencies. They're doing what the Russians used to do: Denying bad news.
Incidentally, the trains were also carrying LP gas. A real mess.



And the news clampdown over Chernobyl may have been the last straw for
the old USSR and started a relatively peacefull change of government.
We should be so lucky in N Korea. The worst case scenario could be
that the NK gov't is so embarrassed and paraniod that it declares the
explosion an act of war and and starts shooting at SK.

The latest news is that one of the trains may have been loaded with
mining explosives.

Apparently a South Korean news agency has reported that two gasoline
loaded trains have collided in North Korea, killing thousands and
leveling an entire town. Radio Exterior de Espana noted that there has
been no independent confirmation of this. NBC News (US) has reported
that it was near the border with China and that phone lines between NK
and China have been cut in order to prevent info from getting out. I
don't have my Yaesu hokked up so I can't tune around and see what others
are saying. What's Radio Korea Intl (NOT VoK, but South Korea)
reporting? Anybody hear anything?
