FACT or CRAP ?



CRAP

It's worse than that. It wasn't food and medical equipment that was reported lost, but three very expensive mortar shells called Excalibur, worth $175,00 each! At three feet tall and weighing 106 pounds each, these are not easily misplaced. You can't find these shells on the beach!

In 2015, the government of BeiJing, China, evicted more than 120,000 people who were living illegally in old air-raid shelters under the city.

I don't know, I'm going to say FACT.

I mean really, how do you relocate 120,000 people just like that? I guess it's China, they probably just line them up in front of the firing squad.

I confess to googling it after I posted my answer and it took everything I had not to post a spoiler. So brutal!

It's China so it was probably 1.2 million.
