Laura and Euna said that they damaged tapes; they didn't claim to have destroyed all tapes. They could easily have picked up a rock within a minute.

I, too, hope that Mitch Koss will speak out soon.

Joe Koss had the larger camera and was most likely filming from the Chinese side of the river. Lee supposedly had a smaller personal camera she was using to film Ling as she narrated them crossing over into North Korea. That is the camera the Norks got while the Chinese got Koss' camera.

Wasn't Mitch Koss the cameraman? How did the North Koreans get the video from the women? Did Mitch toss his camera as he was hauling a$$ out of there?

Curious as to what Mitch might have to say about events, that would be difficult for him to see, as he was "high stepping it" as fast as he could to safety.

China's denial is simply to appease public opinion at home. I don't think most Chinese are happy at the thought of the CCP not retaliating when foreign soldiers enter their country.

" Futhermore the North Koreans claim they have video footage taken from the two reporters that show them on the North Korean side of the river and even picking up rocks as souvenirs. If this is true why isn’t the North Koreans showing this footage? "

Either the two women were telling the truth about damaging the tapes or the North Koreans are holding back and waiting for an opportune moment in typical North Korean fashion.
