Bridge across Nakdong River in 2020--Waegwan











Bridge across Nakdong River in 2020--Waegwan (detail)









Same bridge as below. In a recent article, I wrote, "During the Korean War, the US Army believed North Korean soldiers were among refugees trying to cross a bridge there, so it blew up this bridge, killing hundreds of people." Notice how plaque makes no mention of anyone killed.

There was a display of around 16 photos just outside the train station. Though I liked them all, I was particular drawn to this one, taken in 1950. Since the bridge was still intact, the war hadn't started. Hell was just weeks away.
