North korea had decided to go full gomie and invade the u.n. proxy. The south korean government detonated the bridge to make sure there would be no rapid advance, but there was still a capital full of loyalists. Thousands of people tried to cross the river and most died. Havnt read up on what happened to the citizens of the capital, but going off how the war played out I assume the people that tried to stay in the city where all hamburgers by the end of the war.

Is this even a meme? Plenty of incidents over the years, especially if you include proxy states.

That's a big river.
It's moving fast.
It's likely cold.
Can't carry possessions across.
Also, almost no one knew how to swim.
Even today in modern France or Germany most people would drown after a minute in a river.
You must have gone to a really shitty high school, or had a really shitty history teacher.
