Purchasing concrete from North Korea is a dangerous practice.

"Purchasing concrete from North Korea is a dangerous practice." True. They might have originally gotten it from China.
Who knows what could be in it?

"There have been several threads about this
somewhat ancient news incident."
Yes there have.
From different perspectives and different sources.
This is the first time this article has been posted as far as I can see.
It's not a bad thing that you and some others get all the information you need about a particular story with just a few of the first threads posted here at FR, but some of us like to flesh out the story from all sources available, and continue to watch for new stories and developments.
That is the purpose Freerepublic serves for myself and thousands of others.

Good article, thanks for posting it.
It’s nice to see the spin put out to cover up the real story of what happened there.
I notice in this sanitized version approved by the Syrians, Iranians and the North Koreans that there is no mention of the Korean and Iranian Terrorists killed in this “accident.”

Yep. It is a horrific way to die. And if my old NBC training serves me correctly the stuff can stay potent for up to 14 days after release.

The Scud fuel system appears to be IRFNA and kerosene. Inhibited Red Fuming Nitric Acid would eat up just about everything in the immediate area.
That's not to say that VX and sarin and mustard weren't deadly, too. Gawdawful mess.

...Iranian advisers died when the fuel for the missile caught fire and the weapon exploded,... The 50 BMG sniper rifle is a wonderful thing, expecially when used against material targets.

Iran knows Israel and maybe US is coming soon. They are gearing up to all out attack on Israel along with their puppet Syria.

Or it might have been a “gurgle, spaz, flop” kind of moment...

But I feel sure no insult was intended. Oh neither did I!
I imagine you are referring to my post #24. I was just expressing my views regarding the necessity of reading various viewpoints and articles about an important subject.
And my thanks to you for posting this article.

Re: "accidental explosion"
Are we really sure it was an "accident?" Maybe we (the good ol' U.S.A.) has some assets taking care of business (TCB as Elvis use to say) in far off lands with terrorist intent.
