A
recent bridge collapse in North Korea has left 50 women dead, Radio Free Asia
[RFA] reported citing an inside source from ASIAPRESS on July 31st.
The
source elaborated on details of the accident, “The bridge in Kimhyongjik County, Yangkang Province collapsed in an
instant under a vehicle transporting 50 members of the Chosun Democratic
Women who were participating in Victory Day events on July 27th.”
“The entire wooden bridge collapsed dragging
the vehicle and all its passengers down with it into the river below,” she went on. “The river
swell resulting from the heavy rains have made it impossible to locate the
bodies thus far.”
This is the most recent in a series of
tragic accidents to befall North Korea this year. An apartment complex collapse
in May claimed the lives of hundreds, followed by a bus accident the same month killing 50 middle school students. An alleged bus accident in January saw 30
lose their lives on the way to Masikryong Ski Resort.
