... yeah but if we assume they nuked right in the center of Seoul with their strongest tested nuclear weapon yet... this is what it would look like:

Really puts things into perspective.

I thought there would have been a bigger blast radius. That looks like a little blip on the radar screen.



It's a screenshot dude. Look at the right side - see all the drop down menus on the right?

You can see the North Korea Nuke from 2013 on the right.

There'll be a spike in runners just after the paydays, for obvious reasons. The most important is that right after payday is when most people have the money for a ticket.

My friend just got back from the airport and says the whole airport is flooded with foreigners (mostly students and elderly people) and Koreans trying to get out. There are people everywhere. You can't even get inside the departure terminals.


Na�ve, very very na�ve people. Seoul is not going to fall to N.K. troops.

If they're running because of North Korea, let them run. Laughing More jobs for everybody else.

Yes I nuked the crap out of Seoul, then realized my coworkers were giving me dagger eyes, so recreated the dino-killer comet down on the Yucatan. Then I supernova'd Earth.

What, I was bored at work.

Eh, I'm tired of this. This would be suicide for NK, the US has their nuts in a jar already. The NYT reported earlier this week that if the US saw NK equipping their missiles with nukes, they'd take them out right there. And try to shoot down any missiles NK launched anyway. Big daddy has it covered.

Meh okay, I'm "evacuating".

Getting out some cash, packing my bags, and going to a nice sunny beach in the Philippines for holiday. Enjoy getting hit on the head by a nuke. Bwhahahaha.

Those of us who are in Korea understand the situation. The problem is that the sensationalist international media is painting a different picture to our families and friends back home and they're on the phones, and emailing messages that are bordering on hysteria. It can be scary stuff, especially for newbies.

Cool. How do you rate the current situation in comparison to the nuclear tensions and death of Kim Il Sung in '94 and the submarine infiltration in '96?

Oh by the way the 'situation' has changed recently...

So, you're ranking the times the Koreas have had problems? Why? You don't rank the times you've had diarrhea and say "Well, having it today is bad but not as bad as the chili dogs and Old Milwaukee beer explosion of 2005." In other words, when it's bad, it's BAD. You don't need to rank everything, or do you?

I'm asking for you to explain the depth of your 'understanding'.

You implied there is no cause for concern. I'm asking you on what level of experience do you base that.

Can you answer the question kindly?
