I think there was a thread on this a couple days ago, as I recall and may be off here, this location is near the China and N. Korea border?

From the article, it is hard to believe that they 'fell' off a truck.

In Russia, the truck driver would go to prison or death for loosing them.

Unless they are there for a reason? As in supply for terrorists?

Or they didn't know what to do with them, when the N. Korea train exploded and they had no "next" train to load them on?

Strange.
