On November 30, World News Australia ran a story which showed a railway bridge on the southern border of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), which was described as the 'Bridge of No Return'.

That bridge is in fact a footbridge between South and North Korea, inside the DMZ. The bridge which was shown was another, larger bridge, popularly know as the 'Freedom Bridge'.
