People in Seoul Thought North Korean Invasion was Happening Due to Overflight of ROK Army Helicopters

It appears some snowflakes in Seoul were scared of a few ROK Army helicopters flying by:

                                                                                                 Republic of Korea Army Apache attack helicopters fly over Seoul, Monday, during a tactical flight training exercise. Korea Times photo by Shim Hyun-chul
Republic of Korea Army Apache attack helicopters fly over Seoul, Monday, during a tactical flight training exercise.

Military aircraft spotted in the skies above Seoul recently have left residents confused and scared, with some mistaking the roaring sounds of fighter jets for a North Korean invasion.

The South Korean Army’s Apache attack helicopters conducted a tactical flight training exercise over central Seoul, including the areas near City Hall and Seoul Station, Monday morning. 

“The helicopters were so loud and they flew quite near the office buildings. My colleagues and I got a little nervous,” said an office worker surnamed Yoo, 32, who works in central Seoul. 

Although he received a notice from the Seoul Metropolitan Government about the training in advance, he did not expect the helicopters to fly so close to his office.  

“I received the text alert around 9 a.m., which read that a flyover will take place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. across Seoul. This is too vague, I think they should have given some detailed information,” Yoo said.

Aircraft identification ought to be a mandatory life-skill taught to elementary schoolers.

Betcha the “snowflakes” were low-info-Moon voters and protested against the Japanese release of radiation at 22 is less than half as strong as the Kori plant’s normal release rate of 49…

But let’s panic because better men are training to defend us. /sarc

For a country that has been at war for since 1950 you wouldn’t think there would be so many weak kneed individuals.

Coincidentally, I was right in the heart of downtown Seoul during this flyover and all those Apaches certainly got my attention. First, there were a LOT more than the four shown in this picture. 10-12 maybe?

And low. They were maneuvering between high rises below roof level. It was like a scene out of White House Down. But they were not high speed yanking and banking between the buildings; it was a slow, deliberate, controlled pace. I didn’t see weapons on the rails, so it was a mystery to me what they were doing.

I assumed President Yoon was on the move or maybe some action movie was being filmed.

I’m not inclined to give snowflakes a pass for anything, but they get one here.

At least they weren’t like the 13 Jan 2018 Hawaiians who jumped into manhole covers and had heart attacks when the (false) missile alert sounded.
