June 28th, 1950.
Fall of Seoul

  
  At 3 A.M. on June 27th, one day after the attack,  the Cabinet members of the Korean government gathered to make a decision to relocate their government to Su-won, some 50 km south of Seoul. Tens of thousands of refugees flocked to Seoul from the northern region, which had already been seized by the North Koreans, and the citizens of Seoul realized that the government had deceived them. The rumor that the government had already moved to the south disappointed the people even further.

By sunset, North Korean troops led by dozens of T-34 tanks stormed into Miari, which is located in northern Seoul.  South Koreans counterattacked the North and surprisingly, they managed to expel the North Koreans. However, they were defeated by the North in the 2nd battle the same night. It was an hour past midnight on the 28th of June.  Seoul was at stake.

It was 28 minutes past 2 A.M. on the same day, an hour and a half since the capture of Miari.
Glaring light from two successive explosions illuminated the night sky, making it as bright as day.  The only bridge over the Han River was destroyed by the explosions. The sudden collapse of the bridge killed over a thousand people crossing the river and blocked the course of southbound soldiers.   See Interview with Mr. Keech Beech, Correspondent of The Chicago Daily News below.
