WHOOPS.
"Heads will be rolling" isn't metaphorical here. I'm praying the lads in charge of that launch survive.
The Korean Central News Agency reported the following about the launch of the 5,000-ton destroyer.
A serious accident occurred during the launching of a destroyer. Due to immature command and carelessness in operation during the launching process, the parallel movement of the bogies (dry dock sleds) could not be guaranteed, which resulted in the launching sled in the stern being released first and becoming stranded, the ship's balance being destroyed by a dent in the bottom of some sections, and a serious accident occurring in which the bow section could not be released from the stern.
Here's a pic of the destroyer 9 days before the launch:
And here's footage of dictator-supreme Lil' Kimmy at the launch ceremony before the incident.
The supreme leader said, and I quote:
...this was a serious accident that could not have happened, could not be tolerated, and was a criminal act caused by pure carelessness, irresponsibility and unscientific empiricism.
Like I said, pray for that launch team. 😬
