Demonstrations In Seoul - . Freed By Rhee - Air Raid On Inchon (1953)

A truce seemed imminent until South Korean President Syngman Rhee demanded unification of all Korea and the withdrawal of Chinese communists. 25,000 anti-red prisoners of war are freed by ROK guards on orders from Syngman Rhee.

A fuel dump becomes a sea of searing fire and exploding gas as troops try to keep the flames from spreading. Oil drums are bounced 100 feet in the air by terrific explosions.
