Pyongyang from above: Interactive 360-degree video shows colourful tower blocks, empty roads and infamous Hotel of Doom in North Korean capital

UK Daily Mail  "A photographer has pulled off a world-first by recording a 360-degree video of the North Korean capital city. Following the Taedong River, Aram Pan - flying in a microlight - captures colourful tower blocks and factories. 
"Also visible in the video are the infamous Hotel of Doom, huge Kim Il-sung Square and the iconic Juche Tower. But the appropriately named Pan said despite his unprecedented access, he was still forced to delete material."
. . . 
"A photographer has pulled off a world-first by recording a 360-degree video of the most secretive capital city in the world from a microlight.



  • "In the spectacular video - which can be moved in any direction by the viewer with a cursor while it plays - Pyongyang's colourful apartment blocks, smoking chimneys and amazingly traffic-free roads can be seen below." . . .




  • Dare we hope this photographer doesn't come back a lover of the Kim's the way our ping-pong team came back from China praising "Mao-thought"? TD
