I don't know if this is accurate, but we'll know for certain in a few days.
The disaster has prompted fears of a massive radioactive leak which could spark a Chernobyl- or Fukushima-style disaster.
A North Korean official said the collapse happened during the construction of an underground tunnel, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reports.
Some 100 people are said to have been trapped by the initial tunnel collapse, with a further 100 lost in a second collapse during a rescue operation, Asahi reported Tuesday.
Lee Eugene, a spokeswoman at South Korea's unification ministry, said: "We are aware of the report but do not know anything about it."
The accident is believed to have been caused by Kim Joing-un's sixth nuclear test which weakened the mountain, according to the report.

Good chance, but the quakes and landslides were real. As to the deaths and destruction, your guess is as good as mine.
I read an article last week where experts were warning that this could happen.

Yeah, they've been having quakes since the test, in an area that doesn't get earthquakes. Stupid little fat commie just had to look like a big boy and wound up killing more NK than he has SK since the war.

It could have taken some, most or all their scientists. :popcorn:

If they had scientists they wouldn't be plummeting into the earth's core.

Proof, a little education can be dangerous, just look at all the liberal arts degrees and self-proclaimed geniuses.

No problem, they move to the back side of the sun.
This would matter in any country that cares whatsoever about their citizens. These idiots starve, murder, freeze, jail millions 24 / 7, so what does this mean or matter ?
Absolutely nothing, that's what.

Yeah, what's 200 dead when they kill more than that in hard labor camps yearly, or starvation in the millions?
Up to 2.8 million people may have died of starvation because of North Korea's three-year famine and worsening economic crisis.
Former agriculture diplomat Kim Dong-Su, who defected to South Korea in early February, said the figure was the closest possible estimate of deaths because the North's regime had not compiled reliable figures.
Kim, who spent three years negotiating with the United Nations to secure food aid for the stricken north, said the country's communist leaders could not deal with the huge scale of the crisis and they face increasing unrest from the population.

Well, here's to hoping his top scientist and army brass were in those tunnels.
