towbsss.blogspot.com (110331) Here is a brief video of half the airport in Incheon. As my boarding time was nearing, I was unable to check out the other side of the airport, which offered some different things. There is a lot of shopping at the airport and many places to eat. You can still get last minute soju from the food court for only ~$3 if you really wanted. However the food is a little over priced, but where in the World do they not have over priced food at the airport? Anyway, check out the video to see what Seoul airport has to offer!

The Incheon landings of Operation Chromite effectively turns around the disaster for the UN forces. Former Japanese Naval crews (secretly) helped pilot the UN ships through Flying Fish Channel, as they were the only ones who had the technical knowledge to navigate warships through the dangerous channel and tides. Korean civillians bear the brunt: Sections of the city are totally destroyed, and South Korean soldiers shoot "anything that moved" according to Bert Hardy, a British journalist at the landings. In fact, these South Korean troops committed numerous "reprisal" killings.

UN forces enjoy almost complete air superiority, and the bombing campaign begins. The Naktong River battles continue, with the NKPA pushing UN forces further into a tighter perimier east of the Naktong and south of Pohang. Contingencies for removing the ROK government, two divisions of soldiers, and 100000 civillians to a US territory are made. These are rejected outright by the Korean president, Rhee. By August 1950, the US military has already suffered over 4000 dead. MacArthur devises the Incheon landing, and succeeds in getting the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US military to accept the idea. The Incheon landing succeds, effectively creating a disaster for the overstreched NKPA on the Pusan perimeter. The landings were not a surprise to the North Koreans; they simply could do nothing about it. The civillian population of Incheon are wary of South Korean soldiers as the latter begin shooting people on suspicion of collaborating with the NKPA. US and South Korean forces are soon crossing the Han River in an assault on Seoul, linking up with the 8th Army in the south.

Incheon has since led the economic development of Korea by opening its port to the outside world, issuing in the modernization of Korea as a center of industrialization. In 2003, the city was designated as Korea’s first free economic zone.

History
The first historical record of the Incheon area dates back to 475 CE. during the reign of King Jangsu of Goguryeo by the name of "Michuhol". The area underwent several name changes with successive kingdoms and dynasties. The current name was established in 1413. However, the name Jemulpo was not widely used until the opening of the port in 1883.
On September 15, 1950, during the Korean War, Incheon was the site of the Battle of Inchon, when United States troops landed to relieve pressure on the Pusan Perimeter and to launch a United Nations offensive northward. The result was a decisive UN victory. The USS ''Inchon'' (MCS-12) was named after the tide-turning battle that ensued.
Incheon was originally part of Gyeonggi Province, but was granted ''Directly Governed'' (now Metropolitan) City status on July 1, 1981.

Korean War - PART 10, Pre-Incheon (August 1950) 6.25 전쟁
UN forces enjoy almost complete air superiority, and the bombing campaign begins. The Naktong River battles continue, with the NKPA pushing UN forces further into a tighter perimier east of the Naktong and south of Pohang. Contingencies for removing the ROK government, two divisions of soldiers, and 100000 civillians to a US territory are made. These are rejected outright by the Korean president, Rhee. By August 1950, the US military has already suffered over 4000 dead. MacArthur devises the Incheon landing, and succeeds in getting the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US military to accept the idea. The Incheon landing succeds, effectively creating a disaster for the overstreched NKPA on the Pusan perimeter. The landings were not a surprise to the North Koreans; they simply could do nothing about it. The civillian population of Incheon are wary of South Korean soldiers as the latter begin shooting people on suspicion of collaborating with the NKPA. US and South Korean forces are soon crossing the Han River in an assault on Seoul, linking up with the 8th Army in the south.
