Accident huh?

Like those pipelines blew up by accident too.

I guess if Kim’s missile test got them rattled it’s plausible they were on alert and doing things they normally don’t do, but it just seems like stuffs gettin’ a little crazy lately.

Was meant for Japan. Didn’t make it that far. South Korea was as far as bomb went.

Early reports suggest it was caused by an accident.

Sure hope it was, because alternative is not very good news...

If I remember correctly, a number of years ago North Korea lobbed a few artillery rounds at a South Korean Island.

Maybe this was North Korean artillery practice and a round went off in the wrong direction.

Early reports suggest it was caused by an accident.

These days, I don’t presume anything is an accident until proved beyond the shadow of a doubt.

And even then, don’t believe anything until the government officially denies it.

Land of the Almost Right
Once you see a 20 story apt building with hundreds of propane tanks lined up along the roof with hoses ran into apt windows no fire/explosion can surprise you.

Indeed. It wasn’t all that long ago when incidents here were immediately labeled with “Early reports suggest it was not terrorism.”
