Matt did the math and came up with an overall estimated figure of 6%. As for the Asiana story, I think it is most likely yet another anti-Korean internet hoax being spread around by imaginative Chinese netizens. If I have time later this week, I'll track down the source.

Please read "previous reports". It would appear from the two articles that things are rapidly turning for the worse in North Korea. South Korea "wake up", your "I love you, you love me, North Korea we don't want to see" isn't going to work if the north implodes.
