Talk:Bridge of No Return

message: Are they really "armed guard houses"? I thought weapons were not permitted in the JSA. Savatar 06:08, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The North Korean end of the bridge is outside of the JSA ([]), so it is probably armed. On the other hand, the closer guard house on the picture (actually an UN checkpoint) should indeed be unarmed.--Cbb -talk- 11:53, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Armed Guard Houses 

message: The bridge actually runs east-west (with west toward PRK and east toward ROK).  The article was a bit loose with its cardinal directions, such as saying that soldiers were facing "north" on the bridge, which would actually have been looking over the side of the bridge, when what was really meant was soldiers were facing toward "North Korea" to the west.  I cleaned it up a little bit to reflect that.  98.232.121.163 (talk) 00:22, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cardinality of the bridge 

message: There was no mention of it in the article.  Was it built after the ceasefire, or was it standing before the war? Dinkytown talk 17:05, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  When was this bridge built? 

message: I learned that the end of the bridge was destroyed by the North Koreans.  Unfortunately, a tour guide's words are not authoritative but you can see it clearly in the most recent picture: rubble on the N. Korean side.  So, I'm pretty curious why the UN side would offer to fix it... And sorry no, the guide did not mention any clue on when it was built... but my guess would be that it was part of the original JSA 1953, when the demarcation line wasn't strictly adhered to. It does appear to be about the same age as the old UN observation guard posts which are nearby. The North and South shared the JSA until the Axe Murder Incident in 1976.

replies: text: The pictures I find, such as  and , show no destruction of the bridge itself but clearly that the river bank, including the former path across, has been walled off. Any offers to pay for repairs of the bridge obviously aim at preserving the popular symbol. It is obvious, too, of how much interest this is for the NK side. 2003:45:457F:6A31:BD2C:ED7E:1D04:9C5B (talk) 19:02, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The article states that "The last time the bridge was used for prisoner exchanges was in 1968, when the crew of USS Pueblo was released and ordered to cross into South Korea via the bridge." However on the page for Joint Security Area lists the following as happening in 1969:
Operation Temple Bell, December 1969
On August 17, 1969, an unarmed OH-23 observation helicopter strayed over DPRK airspace and was forced to land in North Korea. The three crew were held for ​3 1⁄2 months during negotiations between Major General A. H. Adam senior negotiator at the UN Command, and North Korean Major General Lee Choon-sun. In early December 1969 the three crew members were released and ushered over the Bridge of No Return.
