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.

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...
2 Days in May That Shattered Korean Democracy
The US response to a dictatorship’s repression in Gwangju in 1980 was even worse than we thought.
