If there are any BASE jumpers in North Korea, my apologies in advance for burning your site...

Re: [1108] Sick object
Daym, that looks scary. Not very much clearance going around... less than a typical 'square' B. And the corners don't look too promising. That crane looks a bit more optimally configured, however. I wonder if the elevators work...... :)

Isn't much of North Korea pretty much living in the 1950's in terms of technology? BASE jumping hasn't even been invented yet there. And I doubt anyone in North Korea could even access a computer than could log on to this site. Sad place of tyranny.Unsure

Don't be one of those guys, especially if a link to all 50 threads is not provided ... This is the first I've heard of it.

Very interesting building.

Re: [hookitt] Sick object
no kidding. plus, a repost is only half as annoying as a "who wants to lick my pee-pee" or "check out how i busted myself up on the easiest daytime BASE jump in the world" thread.Tongue

The really interesting thing is "1108 AKA Hydroguy" was the last person to post to a thread on this topic 2 years ago.

There's nothing wrong with reposting something which was posted two yeas earlier, since now many people probably don't know about it.

No way dude, haven't you been to the official museum at the Pyongyang airport? You'll see that they invented the f**king parachute! and how brave it was of Mr. Kim jung il to personally test it, to make sure it was safe for everybody else. And oh yeah, they put the first man on the moon.* Just read their history books.

Not only do they win the world base jumping competition every year, they are the world leaders in computer chip technology, and they export more potassium than kazakhstan. If only the US would stop being so mean to them...

(I made up that part about base jumping)

*My friend literally experienced all this, it is a real museum, about as real (and weird) as that kentucky creationism museum
