North Korean military engineers are completing an underground runway beneath a mountain that can protect fighter aircraft from attack until they take off at high speed through the mouth of a tunnel. The project was identified by an air force defector from North Korea and captured on a satellite image by Google Earth.

The runway, reminiscent of the Thunderbirds television series, highlights the strange and secretive nature of the regime in North Korea. Scary....

    • Yes, KINGSTON, you're right. It does sound like something a bad dictatorship would build. In fact, it definitely is something a bad dictatorship would build. Hence, we come to the conclusion that this is strange. N. Korea's people are so oppressed and in such terrible poverty. And plus they have to listen to communist propaganda all fucking day. The posters, the sing-alongs, the radio broadcasts. It makes me want to scrape my face off with a rake. I wish they'd have a revolution already.

    • That doesn't matter at all. we have missiles we can launch from a thousand miles away that will hit a dime on that runway, bringing the mountain down on top of it.

    • That’s cool. If I could live out in the vacuum of space without ill effect I totally would. Then again space doesn’t have hot Asian women like North Korea. Your picture has swayed me. I’ll do all the leg work and get the tickets if you can play a good wing man. ;p

    • Seriously if Kim Jong-il doesn’t freak you out what does? I rather live with a family of radioactive mutant spiders instead of spending a week in North Korea. I’d probably be fed better too.
