Destruction on island at center of Korean barrage
A dog scavenges for food; the family pet now a stray. An old lady, who refuses to leave her home, rearranges the shattered bricks as she tries to put her life back together.Air Jordan Fusion Everywhere there is destruction on South Korea's tiny Yeonpyeong Island. Houses are incinerated, treasured possessions now charred remains. It is the small things that reveal the most. The books tattered and burned. A family piano: now a blackened shell, and a kitchen with charred pots and pans and a child's broken cup. Everywhere there is ash and the strong smell of smoke. Shattered glass covers the roads and burnt tiles crunch under feet. Shell craters are visible and the walls are pockmarked with shrapnel. North Korea rained shells on the island Tuesday and South Korea returned fire.Air Jordan 9 For about an hour a 57-year-old armistice was broken and a war that has never really ended ignited again. A tiny fishing village was suddenly and violently at the center of a flashpoint that some fear could tip the Korean peninsula into all out war. CNN returned with South Korea's coast guard for an up-close look at the battles aftermath. The once bustling little community is now a ghost town. Hundreds of people have fled. Those who have stayed told us of the moment of terror. "I was up near the lighthouse when my daughter called and said some kind of war had broken out,' one woman said. She says she feels like leaving herself and is scared North Korea will hit again. Others would like to leave but simply have nowhere to go. "This is a fishing village. What am I going to do if I leave? People have got to come back," a man tells me. But people won't be back. Some of those who have fled say they no longer feel safe. They tell me they are used to conflict but not like this. Normally it is military-to-military. The difference is now civilians have been caught in the crossfire.Air Jordan Q4
