Today in Korean history
Sept. 18 1894 -- The Joseon Dynasty opens its first modern primary school, Gyodong Elementary School, in Insa-dong, Jongno-gu, central Seoul.
1996 -- A North Korean submarine is found stranded on the seashore at Gangneung,
a South Korean port city 240 kilometers east of Seoul. A massive manhunt followed
for 25 North Korean sailors and agents who came ashore after abandoning their
disabled submarine. Most were shot and killed though a few were believed to have
made it back to the North.
2002 -- South Korea and North Korea simultaneously begin work to reconnect two
sets of railways across their heavily fortified border. The cross-border railways
were cut off just before the Korean War started in 1950.
