And this news also from South Korea that you probably haven’t heard: Maehyang villagers claimed that seven people were injured and some 170 houses damaged when a US Air Force A10 fighter, which was experiencing engine trouble, dropped six 500-pound bombs at the training range on May 8th, as an emergency measure to reduce its weight. Citing noise problems, members of some 2,000 households and other nearby villages have sought to be relocated since 1988, while also seeking compensation for suffering related to the bombing and strafing training. They filed a class-action suit with a Seoul court in February of 1998.
