What an absolute nightmare. A high school student saw his friends crash their Cybertruck and rushed to help, but was only able to rescue one of them because the car's doors would not open from the outside.
He watched his three other friends burn to death.

Epic intro: “For someone who has spent nine years studying for the bar exam in addition to four years as an undergraduate law major, President Yoon Suk Yeol seemed to have no idea about the constitutional provision regarding martial law and the relevant legislation.”
Excellent assessment of how Yoon’s use of martial law—for whatever ill-conceived reason—was substantively illegal by Cho Hee-kyung :

This is what happened in Korea in 1980 when a renegade general declared martial law and slaughtered demonstrators in the streets of Gwangju. Hundreds were killed. Yet President Carter gave US military support to the suppression of the uprising. I broke that story. www.thenation.com/article/worl...
