History Erased

It was a sad day in Seoul on Feb 15, 2008. One of Korea's historic landmarks, the Namdeaemun gate, burned to the ground from an arson attack by a disgruntled 70 yr old native. The 610 year old national treasure was located in the heart of Seoul and will take at least three years for full restoration.
