Day 434: Rampage!

So here's a funny little story from Seoul, one that I didn't end up hearing about until a couple days after it happened. A couple of elephants escaped from Seoul Children's Park and went on a rampage through the city! And I didn't even know about it! Giant pachyderms are running wild through the South Korean capital and I'm ignorant to it all!

The elephants, I heard, were in some kind of parade and weren't being watched very carefully. A group of them took off running out of the park and through the streets of the city causing panic in the eastern parts of the city. A few of them crashed through a restaurant front window terrorizing indoor patrons (apparently this bit is caught on video somewhere!) and another ran through an alley near an elementary school knocking down a 52 year-old woman with its trunk. Crazy!

Here's a news clip on the story:

Just another day in this crazy city!
