When I first saw the story of the exploding cell phone killing a man in Korea on CNN I knew it sounded like BS and sure enough it was:
The death of a quarry worker in his 30s in Cheongwon County, North Chungcheong Province on Wednesday was not caused by an exploding mobile phone but by a heavy vehicle accident, police said Thursday. Police said a colleague of the victim’s lied about the cause of death to conceal his fault.
According to Cheongju Heungdeok police in charge of investigation on this case, the colleague identified as Kwon (58), who reported the accident on Thursday, killed Seo (33) while driving a backhoe but later told police the cause of death was an exploding mobile phone in Seo’s breast pocket. Police have sought an arrest warrant for Kwon for negligence resulting in death.
Kwon told police he was backing up a hydraulic drill rig at the quarry and accidentally killed him by running over. Seo died stuck between the vehicle and a rock. [Chosun Ilbo]
I think the real story with this is why did the international media run this story in the first place considering how obviously fraudulent it probably was?

The visceral impulse of any Corean when confronted with guilt is to lie. The mainstream media does not know the Corean, and thus makes a fool of itself by making such rubbish newsworthy.

As long as Korea is an unwilling occupied by the US, these such accidents will take place. The Kingkitty knows for fact the South Korean media was censored about this case because the US did not want to expose to the world its murderous experiments with cell phones and Koreans. Yea of course the guy was killed by a back hoe. Right sure I believe that….Seriously Koreans are too careful to have an accident as described in this posting

Mark,
Tell me a place in the world where murderers confess their crime honestly, without lies.

This kinda reminds me the armored vehicle incident.
Maybe it’s possible for someone to unintentionally run over a person with a vehicle after all.

Mark,
I didnt get the point. Are you being sarcastic with Japan or Korea?
4:53 pm on December 4th, 2007 9
Dr. Yu, I have no point…just dismiss me and whatever I say; this is what I have become accustomed to.

Mark,
That’s all right.

Mark, idiots like you make Japan look bad
You have a lot of nerve talking about Coreans not confessing to manslaughter when Japan doesn’t acknowledge any of the atrocities they’ve committed.. how delusional are you?

How delusional? I’m glad you asked, Sarah. Here’s a small taste…a morsel of just how delusional of an idiot I am.
The Corean is immunized against all dangers: one may call him a scoundrel, parasite, swindler, profiteer, it all runs off him like water off a raincoat. But call him a Corean and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: “I’ve been found out.”
One cannot defend himself against the Corean. He attacks with lightning speed from his position of safety and uses his abilities to crush any attempt at defense.
Quickly he turns the attacker’s charges back on him, and the attacker becomes the liar, the troublemaker, the terrorist. Nothing could be more mistaken than to defend oneself. That is just what the Corean wants. He can invent a new lie every day for the enemy to respond to, and the result is that the enemy spends so much time defending himself that he has no time to do what the Corean really fears: to attack. The accused has become the accuser, and loudly he shoves the accuser into the dock. So it always was in the past when a person or a movement fought the Corean.
Forget the past…I have brought us back to the future.

“Here’s a small taste…a morsel of just how delusional of an idiot I am.”
I think you proved your point.

Wait just one second here, Mark. Are you saying the Clintons are Korean?
