Notes

A recent mystery inspired this episode. Well known site for suicides (approximately 400 to 500 attempts annually). Other tragedies have occurred, many of them mysteries, including claims of the supernatural. Unfortunately, the river has been the site to a few high profile mysteries the past few years.

Long important to Korean history.

  • Part of Baekje
  • Strategic military site
    • Heavily fortified today
  • Site for merchants and leisure
  • Ice collected here
  • Gives name to Bukhansan mountain cluster
  • Major leisure and tourism site (mostly domestic, but also some inbound)

Unsolved Deaths

2001 - Somewhat of a mystery

  • May 29: Military chopper lowered 88 Olympics Flame statue on platform atop bridge tower
    • After lowering, chopper continued decent (pilot unable to slow descent rate - won’t attempt to fully explain physics that led to disaster)
    • Blades hit statue causing chopper to turn and crash
    • Part of chopper landed on bridge, part landed in Han
    • All three pilots killed
    • Traffic halted at time; no pedestrians hurt
  • Mystery? Apparently, pilot would have known something was wrong and was trained to do so; not much time to respond, but didn’t seemingly didn’t. Why? No one knows
  • The Olympic Flame statue is still atop bridge today
  • Seoul Helicopter Crash Of 2001

2022 - Rainy season mystery

  • July 6: body of young boy (about ten years old) found near Jeollyu-ri Port (Gimpo)
    • Fishermen found body around noon
    • Boy had no sign
