|
| Bridge of No Return crosses the
middle of MDL in JSA and it used to serve as the only entrance into JSA from
Gaesong. However, it was never used again by either sides since the events of
the ‘Ax Murder Incident’ which occurred on August 18, 1976. Right after the
Armistice Agreement was made in 1953, POW exchange was made through the bridge
and this was when it was named as Bridge of No Return because once POWs decided
which direction they would want to go, then they were never again to be returned
to the other side. | |
