Crying To Keep From Dying of the Day: Dramatic footage released by North Korea’s state-run Korean Central News Agency shows “grief-stricken” citizens mourning the death of their Supreme Leader, Kim Jong-il, with emphatic wailing in scenes reminiscent of the ostensible outpouring that followed the passing of North Korea’s founder — and Kim Jong-il’s father — Kim Il-sung.
