US Soldier's Clever Ruse to cross DMZ into North Korea

In the heart of the Korean Peninsula lies Panmunjom, a village that stands as a haunting reminder of a divided nation while also being a popular tourist spot. Before the pandemic, tours to the southern side of Panmunjom drew over 100,000 visitors yearly. Today, with the screening process more thorough than ever as both nations stand on the precipice of conflict, visiting this village has become more difficult. In a photograph taken on July 18, 2023, a group of tourists, with their backs facing the camera, observe the area's blue huts as uniformed soldiers stand guard nearby. Little did these tourists know that they had unwittingly captured the last photograph of a seemingly unassuming man wearing a navy blue t-shirt. Only moments after the photograph, he willingly vanished into one of the most dangerous places on Earth. The man's audacious escape from the Demilitarized Zone would send ripples of tension across the Korean Peninsula. --- Dark Footage showcases the most unbelievable photos and videos from history while telling the stories behind the camera.
