Rather than trying to remember the details of this fascinating news story, I just looked it up and found this article from the Guardian:

US and Korean officials identified the soldier as Private 2nd Class Travis King, according to CBS News. King, 23, was being held in custody by South Korea at the airport in Incheon, near Seoul, and in the process of being expelled when he fled.

After passing through airport security, he unexpectedly joined a tour group to the Korean border village of Panmunjom, a popular tourist spot inside the 248km-long (154-mile) demilitarized zone, or DMZ.

A member of the tour later told CBS News that King, who was reported to be in civilian clothes, gave “out a loud ‘ha ha ha’ and just runs in between some buildings”.

I’m imagining someone who just snapped and went insane. But hmmm… Wait.

defecated to North Korea

Holy shit indeed. 🤣

I just hope they have good toilets over there in NK.

An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! 🇵🇭


Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the “I Didn’t Do It” kid after a month until it became the internet’s Centralia in less than a year.
