By It seems like every year North Korea gets hit with some kind of severe flooding:
In this video image from Pyongyang’s state-run Korean Central TV Broadcasting Station, a North Korean military chopper rescues workers trapped by a flash flood in Shinhung, South Hamgyong Province. The TV station reported yesterday that the rainfall was the heaviest in 50 years in Kaesong, flooding thousands of farms. [Joong Ang Ilbo]
This flooding is in the Kaesong area, which for people that don’t know was probably caused by the massive deforestation in that area. By the way does anyone know what type of helicopter that is?

That image looks ancient. Knowing insurance fraud is a big money earner for the North Korean government, I can't help but be skeptical.

Helo looks to be a Mil Mi-2 HOPLITE type.

I am sure that the official North Korean line is that the South caused the flood by releasing water through dams along the 임진강 and the 북한강.

Looks like the work of George Bush to me.

George Bush doesn't care about North Korean people.
