N. Korea Punishes Those Linked to Bus Crash with Chinese Tourists... Four were Shot and Military Leadership Replaced

According to N. Korean sources, four people were shot as a punishment for the bus crash which led to the death of 32 Chinese tourists, many of whom are left-wing (hardcore communist) Chinese academics. Hwang Yong-shik, the chief executive of Korea Kumgang Group (KKG), and its commissar were among the executed.

In addition to the news of Hwang's execution, the sources also said that Kim Jong-gak, Director of General Political Bureau, and Park Yong-shik, Defense Minister, also took the blame, leading to their dismissal, and Ri Myong-su, Chief of Staffs, appeared to have been replaced.

This paper first received a tip on May 27 and conducted its own investigation for more than a week but no further leads came up. However, since then, foreign media reported the replacement of N. Korean leadership matching the accounts of our sources, which would add credibility to the account of Hwang's execution.

KKG is known as the biggest hard-currency earning enterprise in N. Korea. It is operated by N. Korean military, and dominates taxi and express bus business in N. Korea. It is revealed that it is the bus belonging to KKG which fell off a slippery road in N. Hwanghae Province during the rain on Apr. 22 while carrying Chinese tourists. Among its passengers was "Red Tour Group Commemorating 65th Anniversary of 'the War of Resisting America and Assisting Korea' (Korean War.)" Upon hearing the tragic news, Chairman Kim Jong-un paid visit to Chinese Embassy in Pyongyang at 6 AM on the next day and offered condolences, and sent off trains carrying the dead Chinese tourists at Pyongyang Train Station on Apr. 25, paying utmost respect.

So instead of just throwing the military under the bus they shot them?

It is common in dictatorships without checks and balances to merely kill those that fall out of favor.

No Christian morality to check that simple solution. No court system not under the thumb of the dictator, no opposition party, no free press.

Stalin had a simple solution for most problems. If informed there was a problem with any man, just kill him.

No man, no problem.

Wasn’t Chairman Mao’s only Grandson killed in the crash?

Really, very different.

Stalin used the full power and machinery of the State. Those he ordered killed were openly executed, often after a brief show trial.

People know what was going on. It was why the entire nation lived in terror.

For those you have mentioned, significant efforts have been made to convince us that they were *not* executions.

I read a story rumor that one of the dead bus tourists was the only grandson of Mao Zhedong

A photo surfaced which reportedly showed that the Mao's grandson turned up at some event in Beijing after the report of his possible death.

So he seems to be alive. Since Kim Jong-un's response was over the top and some victims' identity are still unknown, there is still suspicion that somebody important (or the one closely related to somebody important) was among the dead.

It might still be that the bus was making a pilgrimage to the grave of Mao’s son who was killed in the Korean War

It is true that it was not an ordinary package tour.

I don't care if you're a communist or not; who in their right mind goes to North Korea on vacation as a tourist?

What is there to see but: starving millions eating tree bark, grass, dirt... anything and everything but real food because they have already eaten all of the dogs, cats, rats and everything else they can get their hands on .

'Tours' of gulag concentration camps holding over a hundred thousand gaunt, slave prisoners being tortured, worked to death, subjected to unspeakable, sadistic "scientific experiments", and shot!

Bus tours to hundreds, if not thousands of statue idols of the pigmy gods, the Kims. Whose claims to fame are they never, ever go to the bathroom, because, as "gods" they don't have bodily functions, and they singlehandedly destroyed North Korea from within by turning their entire "hermit kingdom" into a 4th world prison hell hole, murdered untold millions of their own countrymen and terrorized the overwhelming majority of the rest into brain washed, kimmy worshipping zombies incapable of thinking or acting for themselves; lest they along with their entire extended family going back several generations end up in the gulag for life, or dead.

Attending a special viewing behind one way mirrors of rocket man-boy Kim engourging himself, doing drugs, sexual forcing himself upon untold numbers of unwilling girls hand picked for his sadistic pleasures and concubines, while his entire country starves and endures unimaginable horrors and deprivation.

"Tours" to "show factories" that in actuality produce nothing and attending countless, cookie cutter "rallies" and "lectures" proclaiming the "glories" of the bereft North Korean hell hole hermit kingdom run by a brutal madman, while screaming for the total destruction of America and the "imperialist, decaying, decadent West".

All the while staying at "luxurious" 4th world hotels where every room and telephone is bugged 24/7 and where your every move is "monitored" and controlled by NK KGB "minders" 24/7.

Yeah, sounds like fun, let's go to North Korea for a vacation! Sarcasm off.

"북한이 자국 내에서 발생한 버스 추락 사고로 다수의 중국 좌파(골수 공산당) 학자 등 중국인 관광객 32명이 숨진 데 책임을 물어 노력영웅이자 인민군 소장인 금강개발총회사(KKG) 황영식 총사장과 KKG 정치국장 등 4명을 총살했다고 북한 내부 소식통이 전했다."

Agree 100%!

Must be pretty desperate for a vacation to want to be a tourist in NK, even for the Chinese. What really is the attraction?
