The Korean War Week 002 - The Fall of Seoul - July 2, 1950

The North Korean forces are advancing all over, and this week they take Seoul, the South's capital city, after just a few days of the war.  There is another tragedy for the South when the Han River Bridge is blown while thousands of people are crossing it, resulting in hundreds of civilian deaths. The World responds to the invasion- condemning it everywhere, and the Americans decide to send in ground forces to help the South.
