In a highly rare move, the North Korean government actually apologized for something. On Sunday, the government-controlled state media reported that an apartment building under construction in Pyongyang collapsed, which may have caused hundreds of casualties. North Korean officials would not speak of the death toll, but said the accident occurred because "the construction of an apartment house was not done properly and officials supervised and controlled it in an irresponsible manner." It was revealed that the accident took place nearly a week ago on last Tuesday and that rescue efforts had already ended. To truly convey how sorry he was, Kim Jong Un reportedly “sat up all night, feeling painful after being told about the accident." Cue the world's tiniest violin.
