While I do hope nothing happens, just to give some perspective, nobody thought the North Koreans would actually invade South Korea in 1950, until they did.

Obviously different political/geographical scenarios, but there are similarities with local people ignoring a lot of signs shrugging it off.

Also interesting, Seoul is separated by a river much like Vancouver and the Fraser River. The first president of Korea was retreating south of the river, and he blew up the only bridge (with refugees still on it trying to flee) essentially stranding everyone who was not able to cross the river including civilians and soldiers.
