1pooh4u Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 I used to live behind LaGuardia airport and they were doing some sort of construction over there. So many rats. A disturbing amount. I know that construction usually makes rat populations more visible but this was just so many.

I guess I shouldn't have been surprised, but the most notable thing for me about the Pyongyang airport was how small it was for a nation's capitol. The terminals do look similar in set up, but John Wayne is a regional airport despite having some international flights that go in and out and has only one commercial, one GA runway (LAX has three commercial and one GA/Commercial). It also has far more restrictions to its operations than LAX, such as noise ordinances, which impact the number and time of the flights going in and out. In that respect, the cleanliness ofJohn Wayne is at least partly a function of light use. Comparatively, Pyongyang Sunan International Airport has just two terminals (LAX has nine) and two runways (albeit fairly long ones). It looks like the video was taken from the 7-8 year old international terminal which would be unlikely to have much use in any situation. It would be interesting to see what the domestic terminal would look like given the likelihood there are more domestic flights and there are fewer reasons to maintain a pristine space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether or not the US caused a thing does not change what that thing now is. And North Korea, regardless of the US' past, present, or future involvement, is currently run by a dictatorship.

And it's one of the few times we haven't created said dictatorship. There are plenty of other examples of us propping up monsters to serve our needs, then leaving a power vacuum when said monster is deposed that allows an almost in an authoritarian leader that is almost as bad.
