  2. This article to me is really sad because some people had died during the flood and north korea should build dams but far away where it cant effect or attack people so that way people shouldnt be worring so much about the water near to them so that way they could feel comfortable

  3. what happened in south korea was similar to what happened to us on monday.South Koreas flood was way worse.

  5. i thinlk that north korea should apologies for dumping all that water in the imjin river, because that killed a lot south ,koreans. i think this will start another korean war. the rason why i think that is ,because south korea might be offended by the six killings. that's what i think okay.this is by KHARIJEFFRIESJR.

  7. South korea had a flood in a river and 6 people are missing or died. The president said he sent out a rescuce team in the water and on the land. People sid that nore korea said there was going to be a flood soon. People still went to the river and they got washed down one was just fishing.

  8. Well in this blog ther was a little arugment with both South and North Korea. North Korea let a flood of water into South Korea.People got mad because the North didnt metion anything two them.Both South and North Korea agreed to tell each other when they are going to do some thing.Now both South and North Korea may let people see ther family from the North or the South.:D

  9. i think this artical is agood artical .this is the artical of how south korea blames all the flooding on the north side of korea.then the artical says that they are looking for three missing people.the missing peopleare like a child who has been swept away by the rushing water.this is a true story and i have no emotion for this artical

  10. There was a flood in south korea and people were coplaining. Also people were kkilled.

  11. The thing that happened in South Korea was a major flood. This flood effected the government of South Korea. So they had to restore it by building dams. But it was far away so it cant attack anyone.

  13. SIX PEOPLE WHERE KILLED.THERE WHERE FLOODS AND KILLED SIX PEOPLE.NORTH KOREA SAILDS SORRY FOR THE SIX PEOPLE WHO WHERE KILLED.THEY WHENT TO FIND THE PEOPLE BUT NO HOPE.

  14. The article talks about the flooding that occured in South Korea. Six South Koreans went either missing or dead. It's sad because it's about the same thing that happened to us on monday, and about the same amount of people who died.

    ReplyDelete
  15. i think that South Korea should forgive North korea because they didnt do it on purpose. South KOrea never wanted to flood the place o rkill people. I would say that is unfair to not forgive them. if someone killed six people from my family i would be mad but then i will eventually forgive them for what they did. i would be mad at them for like days but then i will forgive them and i think thats what North korean should do to south korea

    ReplyDelete
  16. The article is about the flooding in South Korea. Many people had to rescue other people in danger. One Sunday morning, the water level was too high.

    ReplyDelete
  17. The artical talked about the flood that accured in south korea.It was a big flood witch caused six south koreans to become dead or missing.

  20. What in the world is wrong with them???They have mad problems!!!NOT COOL MAN!!!{a lot worse than what we got thats for sure}lol 3=/...I would ask for an apology too,heck if i was South Korea i wouldve been mad.I definantly wouldnt forgive them for that!

    ReplyDelete
  21. the flood was very dengerous, and so North Korea should think that they can not release so much water because this type of accidents can have very bad consequences.

    ReplyDelete
  22. the flood was terrible it injured many people and did alot of damage

    ReplyDelete
  23. The dam was broken. why cant people just say we can be friends because this is the is not right there is sopose to be peace not war

    ReplyDelete
  24. i feel so sorry for south korea. i can't belive the flood did so much damage. if i was presidant of the U.S.A i would help them at a time like that. now that i remeber we had the same prolbem the last few days.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I feel very sad, because six pepole have died or gone missing during the flood and that is just crazy i can't believe it would hurt these people from South Koera and sometimes kill these nice innocent people while their enjoying life.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I think this is really sad. I think this is sad because six people died. I that it is rediculis that all that water released.

    ReplyDelete
  27. i think it was north korea fault because they should have known if they have any water they should have built a dam to protct the people and so that they can feel safe.To me the article is really sad because they said that a little boy was swept away and other people was affected by the flood.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I think that North Korea should have warned South Korea that they were going to pour a lot of water in South Korea. I feel bad for the people who were lost in this flood. I think they should warn soth Korea the next time they try to do it.

    ReplyDelete
  29. the flood are every dengerous bececause lated of people can be die.north korea they should think the water is increasing.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Thats messed up.ummm I dont know what I would have done..i would of been really mad like forreall!!!!!and thats mad crazy!!and i feel bad for the people!!!!!!!!!!!!!=\

    ReplyDelete
  31. its sad but they didnt do it on purpose so they shouldnt start making a huge arguement even thugh six people died. they should be thankful it could have been entire cities.i still dont understand why they had to seperate in the first place.they should just stop fighting or at least change their names like really north korea AND south korea its not original.....peace out!!(:

    ReplyDelete
  32. The flood was horrble.It caued deaths and some peoplewent missing. north korea shuldent have let so much water out of a dam datz not right.

    ReplyDelete
  33. This article is about how north korea let water into south korea, south korea got angry.The north
    sent a letter to the south but,the south did not except it because six people were killedor they disapeared.Today south korea is building a dam to be done 2010 or 2011.

    ReplyDelete
  34. In general the situation with south korea was similar to the one that happened in GA .lots of homes and buisnesses were destroyed .this was very devistating and i feel bad for thoes who were lost. peace .. hope i get a good grade :P

    ReplyDelete
  35. I think what they did was kind of weird because how does a dam jus automaticaly just over load. Another thing is why in the world do are they still uildinig a dam that they had already started along time ago. i do feel real sorry about the family's that are missing relatives. O well got to go man you no how I do

  40. this food was very dangerous.it also affected the people and lost homes and family.

    ReplyDelete
  41. the flood affected lots of people and lost there homes and family

    ReplyDelete
  42. Mr. C is showing 3rd period what to do.

    ReplyDelete
  43. that north korea shouldnt never did that because they killed six people and now south korea might want to start a war or get in a big argument also they destroied alot of homes so alot of people have to live on the streets until there homes get rebuilti well fell so baf if someone did that to our contry so thatz what i think

    ReplyDelete
  44. I think that the flooding was redondent because it doesn't make sense to flood because they left people with out homes and food and important stuff.Its like a re-run of what happend to us except it what happen to Georgia was not on porpose.I can't belive they said that it was a acciedent.Some of the people that were affected might not even have insurence or thier insurence dosen't cover damages from floods.

    ReplyDelete
  45. i think north korea should apolegize because they dummed alot of water in to the dam. that killed alot of inesent south koreans.i hope these two countries get this solved and live in peace like they once did.

    ReplyDelete
  46. kevin willams opinion of the flood was that. N.Korea should have ever done that.The flood had left six people died or missing.I think north korea did it on purpose. To get back at S.Korea for what had happen.

    ReplyDelete
  47. wow yy couldnt they warn the ppl that the dam was over flowing.:[ and then apoliges. i mean thats not going to do anything to bring those ppl back...

    ReplyDelete
  48. It is possible that this an attack because as it says in the article they never sighned a piece treaty they sighned a truse. A truse is a temperarry treaty so fighting can start again at any time the war is not over and i hope that south or north korea is ready for any attack the other may do. this was definetly horrible and south korea should definetly apoligize if this was not an attack like i said fighting could start at any time.

  49. I Feel So Bad 4 The People Who Got Hurt Or Their

  50. **?Demetrius..? ##$#@@!September 25, 2009 at 11:42 AM

    i think this flood was not an accident. south korea and north korea have been mad at each other for a long tim and i think that this was an excuse to atack south korea. and south korea shouldve been madin my opinion. im jus saying..? :P

    ReplyDelete
  51. i cant belive they did that to korea. knowing that someone would get hurt. i know some say revenge is sweet but in this case it is painful. the flood probably helped korea grow as a country. i really cant believe north Korea said it was an accidnet because it oviously was not. this article reminded me on how greatful i should be because we have some much freedom in the united states particualy georgia considering we just had a major flood.:(

    ReplyDelete
  52. i think that north korea did that on porpuse case they had a long hatred going on for years and years and since they had a truce to stop fighting they never had like a treaty or anything like that said dont fight ever again. it is north korea's fault also they dont send an apoligy letter or a anything like that. also they are making up excuses why cant they just come out and talk. (>__<)

  53. Mr. Cafarella your from your blog I have learned that the flood affected a lot of Korean homes and there families.This blog told me that six people were lost in the flood and that North Korea let a lot of water into South Korea and caused six people to be lost because of it.It is sad the these people had died because of a simple flood I just can't belive it your blog has thought me so much in just a few words.I learned alot about South Korea and North Korea.

    ReplyDelete
  54. What happend was that their was a flood.This folld killed six people.Ansd the reason why so many people died is, beause that North Korea let soo much water out of the dam.Thats Just Not Right.(:

    ReplyDelete
  55. I think what happened was really bad. They killt a lot of people, and made them sick. Some people even got hurt. That is so crazy because we had a flood a couple days ago. That is messed up, North Korea didn't have to do that because they don't like South Korea. North Korea know it wasn't an accident. South Korea is going to get pay back on them. How would they feel if somebody did that to them. One thing that I don't want to happen is another war. That will destroy everything. I feel so bad. I hope the U.S. can help them out. Because I know they would help us. :(

    ReplyDelete
  56. I think that the North Korean people do not understand what the South Korean people are saying. How can you release an estimated 80,000 pounds of water from a dam without telling anyone or giving a warning to the people around you? You know if you do that people will think that you did it on purpose and they will be suspicious of you. This left 6 people dead or missing, and that is very sad.

    ReplyDelete
  57. I feel so bad about the people because,they got hurt and thats bad. i think its north korea's fault because they shouldn't of done that in the 1st place so yeah they need to apologize or prove that they didnt mean it. :]..................☺☺☺☺

    ReplyDelete
  58. i think THERE WHERE FLOODS AND KILLED SIX PEOPLE.NORTH KOREA SAILDS SORRY FOR THE SIX PEOPLE WHO WHERE KILLED.Korea. North Korea let a flood of water into South Korea.People got mad because the North didnt metion anything two ,i feel bad for the people

    ReplyDelete
  59. I thought that the north should of apologized. That way this whole sichuation could have been avoided. North Korea should of asked to drain some extra water in the Imjin River. Now the south thinks that the north was trying to attack the south again. If I was North Korea I would offer to help the south clean up.

    ReplyDelete
  60. that wasn't right and fair of what the north korea did to the south.the north cause six people to missing or dead.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I feel so sorry especially for the people that lost their homes and who lost their belongings

    ReplyDelete
  62. What i think about this article,is that it is really sad that six people had died,or was missing.I didnt like that North Korea had let the dam out and let all those people die.South Korea is the one that has to apologize to North Korea for letting the dam out.40 million tons of water came out from the new North Korea dam. t his tradgity is vey sad.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Mr. C is showing 4th period how this works.

    ReplyDelete
  64. i feel bad for them because the north the dam s water out without telling the south about it they could at least let them get ready for impact of water

    ReplyDelete
  65. I think that they should have warned them that they were going to release the dam before it happened.its dumb that they didnt tell south korea anout that.in other words even though three people died what happened to the two other people that was in the artical that got swept away by the dams water? I feel sorry for any who died. Plus it would be stupid for someone to not even notify anyone about their overfow and releasing all the water.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Desidarius said,I dint know that North korea and South korea knew about us having a flood.It was realshocking that six people died from a flood.i would thought that a dam would hold a flood but the article said that even theirdam was big enough but it was 40 tons of water coming down on North and South korea.I hope everbody came out safely.I have hope that ever family and their homes can be rebuilt and they never exprience another tradegy like that again.

    ReplyDelete
  67. this is a very informing articl. I thought the werent any problems with these too other than the korean war;(.But i guess this is another thing i mean it wasnt north korea fault that the flood hit south korea. the sad thing was that 6 pepole died and were missing.nut now i know why they hate each other.

    ReplyDelete
  68. :(The actions of the north was irresponcible and dumb.I feel they didn't really give a stright anwser on why they did this because they were shocked and very dissapointed in what they'd done.I feel very sad for the many innocent people who had to die because of the north's actions.I know if this was a conflict between a country and mine i would be even more upset.It was very responcible and amazing how the south took it into their own hands and decided to try and keep this from happening again by making 2 more dams.I feel very hopeful that it doesnt happen again:) -ebonye

    ReplyDelete
  69. This article is good. It shows that there is still hatred between the north and south koreas. 7 people were killed and South Korea belives it was caused by North Korea.South Korea belives this because it was the new North Korean dam.It is sad and terrible that some people lost their lives and thier homes and that it was probably caused by North Korea

    ReplyDelete
  70. i dnt like North korea iz a very evil place.its very sad.its gonna make me cry dat people went instict/ died of dis flow.

    ReplyDelete
  71. this article is the sadest article i have eva read!the anger and and more would lead them to killing people.and if it was a mistake or an accident they could have said sorry! (-!-)
    !!!!!!........!

  72. The flood in North Korea was said because many lost there lives in it.The water broke through the dam and water came in.Many people lost there lives cause of this.Troops had to come to help out people.they said that they were going to build dams for North korea.

    ReplyDelete
  73. I think that its really sad that alot of people have die or were missing.It was rude for South Korea to let all thoes water out.Its sad that alot of them lost there homes or there homes were flooded.Its sad that they died and alot lost familys.Its sad that that 6 people were missing too.

    ReplyDelete
  74. North Korea should have given some warning. South Korea didn't have time to prepare. They could have prevented this. I don't think it was an acdient. I think it was just a reason to begin fighting again.

    ReplyDelete
  75. I think the north should aplogize to the south.North Korea flooded South Korea with the dam with no warning.The South got impact by the six boats that got flooded.Because the north know that the south had boats and people fishing close near the border.

    ReplyDelete
  76. I dont think the north did it on purpouse but they should have warned them before they released the water. I totally agree about South Korea building two new dams cause they definately dont want the flood to happen again.Also the three people they didnt recover is really. what I didnt agree with is when they took the boy back to north Korea.Mr Caferella did you agree?

    ReplyDelete
  77. I think North Korea opened the dam on purpose. North Korea should have appologized to the South, even if this was an accident. I think North Korea is still upset about the Korean War. North Korea shouldn't be mad and do this to South Korea. Hopefully, next time they can prevent this accident.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Fahim Choudhury said I think the North Korea was just breaking their dam to just cause damage to South Korea. I also think that North Korea expected more damage on South Korea. I also think the boy that South Korea found was forced to open the dam from North Korea by the North Korean government. This was a total disaster. It reminds me of the flood I had in my house that was everywhere.

    ReplyDelete
  79. the article talk's about the south and north korea floodeng and how they were looking for the people that died in that day and how they don't trust each other, and how they are rebuilding the places that were destroyed.

  80. ***DEST!NY P.. WR!GHT**September 25, 2009 at 12:54 PM

    what north korea did was messed up,ok if it was a accident they could have warned them. i feel bad for everyone who lost their loved ones in this flood. i also feel bad for the people who lost their homes because they might be able to afford to fix it or to go out and buy a new one,so they have no where to live. it is possible for a dam to over flood but i dont really think it leak out that much water.
    north korea was cruel they didnt even connsider that people can get hurt,kilt,or damage things. but i really hope that north and south korea can get over their differences and think about all the fighting their doing kan hurt people..........(HOPE YOU LIKED MY EXPLANATION)PEACE OUT..!

  81. Wow hi mr.c!!!! i like ur blog!!! im lerning lot from the article.. it shows how grateful we should be for our lifes... like kel said our flood was nothing like south koreas flood. THATS.SO.HORRIBLE. How could they do that and kill 6 innocent people!!!! even if they dont like what that country supports or believes in it doesnt mean they should flood the river and kill people!!! i feel so sorry 4 those people and i hope that north korea gets a taste of their own medicine!!!! wow i feel so sorry 4 them!!! God Bless!!!! Peace out ppls!!! =^)

  82. I think north korea should apolagize to south korea for what they did they done now killed 6 poor people that is what i think

    ReplyDelete
  83. North korea is a very bad place and the people in thier are evil they dont know that they can harm some other people. South Koreans camping and fishing near the border dividing the two Koreas.becousethey want 2 see if some 1 wants to pass in i feel bad for them .

    ReplyDelete
  84. Well this article was about an argument between Noth and South Korea because, Noth Korea had to break the dam and they let to much water into South Korea. It caused people to go missing. I feel bad for them because i know that if it was me i would be really sceard. :(

  85. i think that the flooding of this dam was a mistake but...yy didint north korea worn the south that this rush of water was comming i feel sorry for the six people that died...=P)

    omg!! I could not belive that the north would do such a thing,and make the south go through all thoes problems of the flooding.I also feel bad for the people who lost there homes and family,WOW it brings me back to what happen over were i live with the flooding.

    ReplyDelete
  87. I feel bad for the people who lost there lives,homes,and more. I think that it is NK fault because they should have been prepared with a better dam. SK believes that NK did this on purpose because NK should have had a dam that wouldn't over flood. NK should apologize to SK because innocent people died from the flood.

  88. Hey Mr.C just at home chillin checkin out the blog tell kel i said hi and to tell tracy i said to txt me l8r and ask him is he going trick or treating with us like last year with daryus and AJ?????

    ReplyDelete
  89. I think the North should apologise beacause the dam broke and all the water flooded almost like the one we had. It killed 6 maybe innocent people.Why would a dam brake by itself??? It could maybe start another fight IDK,but iI hope they survived and are okay!

  90. hey mr.caferella what up francesca lol

    ReplyDelete
  91. NORTH KOREA SHOULD APOLIGIZE FOR WHAT THEY DID.THEY BROKE THE DAM O PROPOSE SO THEY CAN MAKE THE SOUTH KOERA MAD..
    A DAM CANNOT BRAKE BY ITSELF BECAUSEIT IS STUDY ANDTHEY HAD TO BUILD IT CORRECT.
    NORTH KOREA SHOULDSHOULD FIX THE DAM BY THEMSELF FOR A PUNISHMENT...
    IF THEY START A FIGTH AGIN I HOPE THE SOUTH KOREA WINS..
