Some 3,000 soju bottles lay shattered across a four-lane road in Uijeongbu after they fell off the truck that was carrying them

A tragedy. What brand? I quite like Choeum Chorum (sp?) these days. Smooth flavor and no smell.

It looks a bit like the children’s playground behind my apartment building, with all the soju bottles and cigarettes lying about . . . as if that too is normal.

3000 bottles sounds like a big loss to the distillery…until you realize that consumers pay roughly 400 won per bottle before taxes.

Besides, based on what we see in the picture, I’d there are between 40 and 50 crates on the ground. 24×40 isn’t 3000.

That explains the air of mourning I’ve seen so far today.

“That explains the air of mourning I’ve seen so far today.”

No, that’s because of the 1mm of snow that fell yesterday.

I think that dude in the picture trying to rescue the survivors on the truck might be my brother-in-law.

I don’t think it was much of a loss, these look like empties! The road is dry as a bone and look how his load shifted.

At least it’s not beer. That would have been a tragedy.

That’s cuz the drivers behind the truck stopped their cars and lapped the road dry.

At least it’s not beer. That would have been a tragedy.

It could have been a large 8th army freight truck dropping something very large and very heavy on two little girls. But we know that only foreigners are sloppy and don’t tie down their freight properly. And that detahs related to traffic accidents involve foreigners only.

Like this. The disturbing picture has been removed from the archives.
