I propose this article be renamed to Hangang Bridge Demolition. My rationale is that the term bombing is almost universally used to describe an air attack or, is used to describe a "terrorist" attack by explosives, i.e. Suicide bomber, Car bomb, and others. I think this may be originally due to translation foul-up. Irondome (talk) 22:33, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If a structure is demolished with explosives, without any attempt to remove or warn the civilians who are using it, it seems reasonable to call it a bombing. Maproom (talk) 22:54, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It was a chaotic military demolition that went horribly wrong. Bombing is technically inaccurate. Irondome (talk) 23:00, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If it was a cockup rather than the result of a callous decision, then I agree. Maybe that could be made clearer in the article. Maproom (talk) 14:09, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I completely agree Maproom. It comes over as a premier league cockup with panic and an apparent collapse of communication. Unsurprising really in the context of almost the first hours of the invasion. We could do with more sources. Problem is the article appears to depend on a single source. I may be wrong here. Some English language material would help also. Regards. Irondome (talk) 14:37, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
