North Korean Video Depicts Burning US City

Feb 05, 2013 (Voice of America News/ContentWorks via COMTEX) -- North Korean Video Depicts Burning US City VOA News February 5, 2013 With another North Korean nuclear test looming, the country's official website, Uriminzokkiri, has posted an unusual video on its YouTube channel showing what appears to be a U.S. city in flames after some kind of attack from space.


The video was uploaded February 2, and opens with a young North Korean man comfortably sleeping. The rest of the video, which is scored with the 1985 song "We are the World," is an apparent depiction of his dream.

Most of the video consists of a montage of footage of North Korean rockets blasting off and fantastical depictions of an imaginary North Korean space shuttle orbiting the Earth. In one image, a crowd rejoices, apparently with the news of a unified Korea. There is no narration in the video, but rather a constant scrolling of text.

At about the two-minute mark, the video takes a dark turn as a burning city resembling New York is shrouded in a scorched U.S. flag.

"Somewhere in the United States, black clouds of smoke are billowing," read the captions. "It seems that the nest of wickedness is ablaze with the fire started by itself." The video concludes by returning to images of the sleeping man, as the captions imply his dream will come true.

"Despite all kinds of attempts by imperialists to isolate and crush us ... never will anyone be able to stop the people marching toward a final victory," the captions read.

North Korea is expected to conduct another nuclear test in response to new United Nations sanctions imposed after a December rocket launch.

An earlier version of this story contained a link to the Video on Uriminzokkiri. That video has been removed, and there is a message saying the video is no longer available "due to a copyright claim by Activision Games, Inc."
