At the end of May, a 67-year-old man walked into a train in Seoul, South Korea with a plastic bottle filled with gasoline. After a few moments, he emptied the bottle and set the railcar alight — and now, we have the video.


Thankfully, no one was killed in the attack, though several people sustained injuries. Police are still investigating the crime and possible motives.
