Reclusive North Korean leader Kim Jong Il has made a rare top secret trip across the border into China, according to reports.

He is understood to have travelled aboard an armoured train, in part due to his phobic fear of flying.

He always rides in an armor train. Plus he has a fear of flying. Maybe he's trying to gear up China of defending North Korea. If South Korea attacks North Korea.

Hmmm I always thought he was crazy.

But the fact he wants to take a train all the time well, I am thinking maybe he is not so crazy after all.

No never mind. He is still crazy.

But trains ARE better than planes! I agree with this a lot!

And an armored train? That is so Cool!

Talk about pimping your ride???

after the recent accusations of NK aggression
(oil rig, SK Navy Ship, etc...)
Kim might be talking over his options
or a strategy. Or it may have been requested
on China's behalf to see what he's really
up to or what his intentions are.
Inquiring minds wanna know, lol

Haha. Yeah, I agree with you. His father had a fear of flying and he inherited it.
