In mourning, hermit kingdom North Korea seals itself

5. It's always been creepy

The Soviet Union could have learned something about how to really use an iron curtain from North Korea. It's like a Black Hole.

Rachel Maddow showed a Satellite photo of that part of the world at night. Every other country has electricity at night that definitely shows the outline of the country. North Korea is as black as the oceans, with barely a couple of lit up cities. It makes the map look like South Korea is an island separated from the rest of the land area.

And evidently there are satellite photos showing it also has enormous prison camps and the major food problems. The people are starving to death.
