TLR? Thanks for this thread and the excellent data, and just to echo other FReepers, don't think for one second that you are any kind of 'fool', absolutely NO WAY my FRiend, you don't have control over the naming conventions of any image hosting service, especially with a dynamic (as in 'changing') story like this one. You scooped 'em as I see it, and the pilot that was presumably seeking to defect should have followed the example of the Number One Juchebag Kim Jong, and taken a TRAIN, instead of flying. ;)

Nice catch TLR! :)

He managed to interview witnesses and other locals. According to them, it crashed between 3 and 4 pm yesterday(Aug. 17.) It flew low and circled over the village a few times. It made some erratic noises while flying, suddenly stalled and crashed. The plane was relatively intact after the crash.
