It has come to my attention that it has become extremely rare to find the video from the North Korea Hatchet Murder. This historic event occurred in 1976 and to my knowledge, there is video in black and white as well as in color. I would like the LL community to help me find this video in color or BOTH and who knows, it might even get featured! As a fan of history, I would like this piece of video to be saved in the LL archives, and with your help, I know it can be done. All I could find were pictures, and here is a follow up from my last post: 'North Korea Hatchet Murder 1976' ...Cheers!" - Dmanfig ReactionShortly after the incident, North Korean media began airing reports of the fight. The North Korean version stated: "Around 10:45 a.m. today, the American imperialist aggressors sent in 14 hoodlums with axes into the Joint Security Area to cut the trees on their own accord, although such a work should be mutually consented beforehand. Four persons from our side went to the spot to warn them not to continue the work without our consent. Against our persuasion, they attacked our guards en masse and committed a serious provocative act of beating our men, wielding murderous weapons and depending on the fact that they outnumbered us. Our guards could not but resort to self-defense measures under the circumstances of this reckless provocation." Within four hours of the attack, Kim Jong-il (son of the North Korean leader Kim Il-sung) addressed the Conference of Non-Aligned Nations in Colombo, Sri Lanka , where he presented a prepared document describing the incident as an unprovoked attack on North Korean guards, led by American officers. He then introduced a resolution asking the conference to condemn that day's grave U.S. provocation and called on participants to endorse both the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Korea and the dissolution of the United Nations Command, which was seconded by Cuba . The members of the conference passed the resolution. The CIA considered that the attack had been pre-planned by the Red regime. A variety of responses were evaluated. Readiness levels for American forces in Korea were increased to DEFCON 3 early on August 19. Rocket and artillery attacks in the area were considered, but discounted due to an unfavorable 4:1 ratio of artillery pieces and because President Park Chung-hee did not want military action taken. edit ]Operation Paul BunyanIn response to the "axe murder incident", the UN Command determined that instead of trimming the branches that obscured visibility, they would cut down the tree with the aid of overwhelming force. The parameters of the operation were decided in the White House, where President Gerald Ford had held crisis talks. Ford and his advisors were concerned about making a show of strength to chasten North Korea, but without causing further escalation. The operation, named after mythical lumberjack Paul Bunyan , was conceived as a US/South Korean show of force , but was also carefully managed to prevent further escalation. It was planned over two days by General Richard G. Stilwell and his staff at the UNC headquarters in Seoul. edit ]ForcesOperation Paul Bunyan was carried out on August 21 at 7 AM, three days after the killings. A convoy of 23 American and South Korean vehicles ("Task Force Vierra", named for Lieutenant Colonel Victor S. Vierra, commander of the United States Army Support Group) drove into the JSA without warning to the North Koreans, who had one observation post manned at that hour. In the vehicles were two eight-man teams of military engineers (from the 2nd Engineer Battalion , 2nd Infantry Division) equipped with chain-saws to cut down the tree. These teams were accompanied by two 30-man security platoons from the Joint Security Force, who were armed with pistols and axe handles. The 2nd Platoon would secure the northern entrance to the JSA via the Bridge of No Return, while the 3rd Platoon would secure the southern edge of the area. Concurrently, a team from B Company, commanded by Capt. Walter Seifried, had activated the detonation systems for the charges on Freedom Bridge and had the 165mm main gun of the M728 Combat Engineer Vehicle aimed mid-span to ensure that the bridge would fall should the order be given for its destruction. Also B Company, supporting E Company (Bridge), commanded by Capt. Williams, were building M4T6 rafts on the Imjin River should the situation require emergency evacuation by that route. In addition, a 64-man South Korean special forces company accompanied them, armed with clubs and trained in Tae Kwon Do , supposedly without firearms. However, once they parked their trucks near the Bridge of No Return, they started throwing out the sandbags that lined the truck bottoms, and handing out M-16 rifles and M-79 grenade launchers that had been concealed below. Several of the special forces men also had Claymore mines strapped to their chests with the firing mechanism in their hands, and were shouting at the North Koreans to cross the bridge. A U.S. infantry company in 20 utility helicopters and 7 Cobra attack helicopters circled behind them. Behind these helicopters, B-52 Stratofortresses escorted by U.S. F-4 Phantom IIs from Kunsan Air Base and South Korean F-5 Freedom Fighters were visible flying across the sky at high altitude. At Taegu Air Base , General Dynamics F-111 bombers of the 430th Tactical Fighter Squadron out of Mountain Home Air Force Base , were stationed. The aircraft carrier Midway task force had also been moved to a station just offshore. In addition, near the edges of the DMZ, many more heavily armed U.S. and South Korean infantry , artillery including the Second Battalion, 71st Air Defense Regiment armed with HAWK missiles , and armor were waiting to back up the special operations team. Bases near the DMZ were prepared for demolition in the case of a military response. The defense condition (DEFCON) was elevated on order of Gen. Stillwell, as recounted in Col. De LaTeur's research paper later. In addition, 12,000 additional troops were ordered to Korea, including 1,800 Marines from Okinawa.During the operation, nuclear-capable strategic bombers circled over the JSA. According to an intelligence analyst monitoring the North Korea tactical radio net, the accumulation of force "blew their... minds". Altogether, Task Force Vierra consisted of 813 men: almost all of the men of the United States Army Support Group, of which the Joint Security Force was a part; a South Korean reconnaissance company; a South Korean Special Forces company which had infiltrated the river area by the bridge the night before; and members of a reinforced composite rifle company from the 9th Infantry Regiment . In addition to this force, every UNC force in the rest of South Korea was on battle alert. The engineers in the convoy - two teams from B Company and C Company, 2d Engineer Battalion, led by 1st Lt Patrick Ono, who had, two days before, conducted a recon of the tree disguised as a Korean Corporal - disembarked from their vehicles once the convoy arrived, and immediately started cutting down the tree while standing on the roof of their truck, while the 2nd Platoon truck was positioned to block the Bridge of No Return. The remainder of the task force dispersed to their assigned areas around the tree and assumed their roles of guarding the engineers. North Korea quickly responded with about 150-200 troops, armed with machine guns and assault rifles . The North Korean troops arrived mostly in buses, but did not leave them at first, watching the events unfold. Upon seeing their arrival, Lt Col Vierra relayed a radio communication, whereupon the helicopters and Air Force jets became visible over the horizon. The North Koreans quickly disembarked from their buses and began setting up two-man machine gun positions, where they watched in silence as the tree was felled in 42 minutes (three minutes fewer than Stilwell's estimate), avoiding a violent confrontation. Also removed were two road barriers installed by the North Koreans, while the South Korean troops also vandalized two North Korean guard posts. The stump of the tree, almost 6 m (20 ft) tall, was deliberately left standing. Five minutes into the operation, the UNC notified their North Korean counterparts at the JSA that a UN work party had entered the JSA "in order to peacefully finish the work left unfinished" on August 18. AftermathAlthough the operation was carried out peacefully, there was concern that it could spark a wider conflict. The incident led to increased tensions along the Korean Demilitarized Zone, but did not develop into full-scale war. Some shots were fired at the US helicopter which, carrying Major General Morris Brady, circled Panmunjom later that day, but nobody was injured. The United Nations Command had demanded that the North Koreans "punish those involved and make adequate reparations to the families of those killed and injured". Later on the day of Operation Paul Bunyan, they received a message from Kim Il-sung expressing regret at the incident without accepting responsibility. The message was relayed by the senior member of the North Korean MAC team (Major General Han Ju Kyong) to the senior UNC MAC member (Rear Admiral Mark Frudden). It read: "It was a good thing that no big incident occurred at Panmunjom for a long period. However, it is regretful that an incident occurred in the Joint Security Area, Panmunjom this time. An effort must be made so that such incidents may not recur in the future. For this purpose both sides should make efforts. We urge your side to prevent the provocation. Our side will never provoke first, but take self-defensive measures only when provocation occurs. This is our consistent stand." While not going far enough to satisfy a previously discussed 'acceptable' Northern response, the US administration decided to emphasize this as a step in the right direction. Indeed, it was the first time since the armistice that the North had accepted responsibility for violence along the DMZ. The Joint Security Area's Advance Camp (Camp Kitty Hawk) was later renamed Camp Bonifas in honor of the slain company commander . The site of the tree, the stump of which was cut down in 1987, became the location of a stone monument with a brass plate inscribed in the memory of both men. The UN command has held commemorative ceremonies at the monument on anniversaries. The close-by UNC checkpoint (CP#3, situated next to the Bridge of No Return) was no longer used after the mid-1980s, when concrete-filled bollards were placed in the road to make vehicle passage impossible. The incident also prompted the separation of personnel from the two sides within the JSA as a way to avoid further incidents. The axe supposedly used in the incident is on display in the North Korea Peace Museum (the axe was not on display in May 2012, but had been returned to a display case by March 2013). General William J. Livsey , who was the Commanding General of the Eighth United States Army in South Korea from 1984 to 1987, publicly carried a swagger stick that was carved from wood collected at the Korean Demilitarized Zone Axe Murder Incident poplar tree. The swagger stick was ceremoniously passed on to General Louis C. Menetrey when General Livsey retired from his command. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=e62_1364087238 Dmanfig FOLLOW UP: More North Korea Hatchet Murder 1976 Pics.

Bollard Crashes In Manchester City Centre Fri, 10 Apr 2009 06:56:03 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=91e_1239360847 barnesy The driver of a fire engine which hit Manchester's rising bollards has been cleared of any blame. Manchester council now faces a lb6,000 insurance claim from the brigade. Since the bollards were introduced two-and-a-half years ago a number of cars, which are not permitted to pass over them, and even buses - which are - have smashed into them. The lb330,000 fire appliance collided with the metal poles as it returned from routine safety checks in the city centre. The engine, which carried a hydraulic platform, was off the road for two weeks. It is one of only six such special vehicles across the county. The incident happened on Cross Street in November. Another fire engine had passed over the bollards moments before the crash. They are not in operation between 7pm and 11am and are triggered after the first vehicle after 11am passes over them. The incident happened at 11.02am. Both engines from Manchester Central Station, were equipped with a credit card sized key attached to the windscreen, which should be automatically scanned, lowering the bollards. Watch a video of cars hitting the bollards here The first engine that passed over triggered the start of the system - as it was the first vehicle to pass after 11am. But the bollards only rose two seconds before the next vehicle was upon them. It is understood a fire service report says the engine that was damaged was 25 metres behind the first vehicle according to CCTV evidence and therefore could not be deemed to be tailgating. Tony Ciaramella, Assistant County Fire Officer (Operations) for Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service said: "On the 24th November 2008 one of our vehicles on routine, non emergency duties was involved in an incident on Cross Street, Manchester city centre involving a collision with a set of rising bollards. "The incident resulted in mechanical damage to the vehicle - which then required recovery to our vehicle workshops. "Following the incident a full internal investigation took place and this concluded that there were no identified failings in fire service procedures or in the actions of our personnel. "The incident will now be the subject of ongoing discussions between our insurance company and Manchester Council, who operate the system". Last month the council defended the bollards after a Metroshuttle bus became the latest victim. Three people were taken to hospital after the accident on St Mary's Gate, near Marks and Spencer. Buses are fitted with transmitters which lower the bollards as they approach. But the council stood by the scheme, saying all the accidents so far were due to driver error. Asked to respond to the fire engine incident, Chris Barber, head of highways services, said: "We have not yet received the results of the Fire Service's internal investigation and until we know what the conclusions are it is not appropriate for us to make any further comment." http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=91e_1239360847 barnesy <span class="highlight">Bollard</span> Claim From Fire Brigade.

The appliance ended up lodged on the metal poles as it went to carry out safety checks in the city centre. Another fire engine had passed over the bollards on Cross Street moments before the crash on Monday morning. The bollards are not in operation between 1900 and 1100 hours. The incident happened at 1102 GMT. 'Loud bang' The fire engine is one of just six across the region and has been taken off the road while the full extent of the damage is examined. It is not expected to return for a number of weeks. The two firefighters who were in the appliance did not report any injuries at the scene. Both fire engines, from Manchester Central station, are equipped with a credit card-sized key attached to the windscreen which should be automatically scanned, lowering the bollards. A council spokesman said as part of their review they would speak to witnesses and the driver and look at CCTV footage. Witnesses reported a loud bang and then seeing transmission fluid spilling onto the road. It is thought to have been travelling at less than 25 mph at the time. Last month, bus passengers were injured when their vehicle hit a rising traffic bollard in Manchester city centre. The Metro Shuttle was driving over the lowered bollard in St Mary's Gate when the barrier suddenly rose up again and hit the front of the bus. The 11 passengers were thrown forward by the impact. The rising bollards are designed to allow access to buses, taxis and other public vehicles by use of an automatic sensor which lowers the barrier when they approach. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a23_1227621243 pheasantplucker Fire Engine gets stuck on top of automatic <span class="highlight">bollard</span>s! fire, engine, truck, accident Mon, 26 May 2008 14:21:09 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=f02_1211826069 stefan171 The bollard managed to stop the white van from going in to the pumps. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=f02_1211826069 stefan171 Accident at Petrol Station petrol station, gas station, accident, road, car,white van,cctv
