Bridge across North Korea's Amnok River closed off due to collapse

Updated: 2015-09-28 21:07:46 KST

A bridge connecting North Korea's western city of Shinuiju and the Chinese city Dangdong has been closed off due to a partial collapse.

According to Korean broadcaster YTN, the northern end of the Amnok River , or the New Yalu River Bridge, caved in by four to seven meters on Monday at around 8:30 AM., while a Chinese media outlet also reported that the bridge partially sunk with a single vehicle falling in.

The cause of the incident as well as the number of casualties have yet to be confirmed. Repairing the bridge is expected to take at least two weeks which will be a blow to the upcoming celebrations of North Korea's anniversary of the ruling Worker's Party, as Chinese trucks supply shipments for the event.

Kimmie will strap the bridge’s engineer to a ballistic missile as ballast.

It’s said that 24-30 million Chinese do meth at least weekly.

Imagine what the numbers are in a hell-hole like North Korea?

No accurate statistics, for obvious reason. However, meth addiction is known to be widespread for some time. First, the state produced them to earn foreign hard currency. Then individuals who worked at meth factories started to cook meth on their own. It is said to be common in N. Eastern provinces. Good deal of N. Korean meth is smuggled into N. East China and beyond. N. Korea is China's Mexico in terms of drug trade.
