The three U.S. journalists were just getting off the bridge at the front when the Han River footbridge was blown up. Behind them were more than 4,000 refugees and soldiers on the bridge. Around 2:30 a.m., an orange light flashed in the dark sky and shook the ground. Two long arches south of the bridge fell into the rolling black water with the sound of the eardrum tearing. At least 500 or 800 people jumped into the air, and poured down the bridge. There were no prior warnings for those crossing the bridge before the blast (Roy Appleman, author of "From the Nakdong River to the Yalu River")

At that time, President Syngman Rhee was staying at the Chungnam Governor's residence in Daejeon and broadcasting a radio broadcast to the public that had been recorded in advance.

"Don't worry, Seoul citizens. The enemy is on the run. The government will stay in Seoul with you. The enemy is retreating due to the gunfire of the Armed Forces. Our Armed Forces will have lunch in Pyongyang and dinner in Sinuiju. At this opportunity, our Armed Forces should pursue the enemy to the Yalu River and achieve unification, the long-cherished desire of the people."

This is why there is a memorial monument for Indian victims in the Han River.
