Korean Rail Workers on Strike

This has to be absolutely horrible for those who depend on the subway to get to work:

A second day of rail strikes on Thursday saw only some 44 percent of train and subway services running, with many schoolchildren already missing class or coming late at the start of the new school year. The situation was especially bad on Seoul subway lines 1,3 and 4, where double or even triple the normal number of commuters were packed like sardines on the rare trains. Freight operations fell to just 15 percent of normal levels, leaving containers and cement piled up at the teminals.

This may explain Nomad’s drive home from hell.
