Die sogenannte Brücke ohne Wiederkehr ist eine Brücke, die die militärische Demarkationslinie zwischen Nord- und Südkorea überquert. Sie diente als Austauschort für Gefangene zum Ende des Koreakriegs 1953.[1][2] Das letzte Mal wurde die Brücke als Ort der Freilassung der Besatzung der USS Pueblo im Jahr 1968 genutzt.[3] Direkt an der Brücke befinden sich Wachhäuser: das CP#3 des United Nations Command und das KPA#4 der Koreanischen Volksarmee. 1976 gab es bei der Brücke einen Vorfall, als amerikanische Soldaten einen Baum fällen wollten, der die Sicht versperrte. Daraufhin überquerten nordkoreanische Soldaten die Brücke und töteten zwei US-Soldaten, nachdem diese nicht aufhörten, den Baum zu fällen.[4][5]
In Spielfilmen
- Im 20. James-Bond-Film Stirb an einem anderen Tag (2002) wird eine Brücke in der demilitarisierten Zone als Austauschort gezeigt.
- Park Chan-wooks Film Joint Security Area spielt bei der Brücke.
- In Salt dient die Brücke als Ort eines Gefangenenaustausches.

Bridge of No Return-a.jpg
I took this picture in March of 1976. Across the bridge is KPA#4. One of the three KPA guards assigned at the checkpoint is visible in the window. Looking closely, you can see a red and white barrier across the road next to the checkpoint.

The Bridge of No Return, CP-3 Dec 75a.jpg
I took this picture in December of 1975, from the same location the picture of the Axe Murder Incident were taken from 8 months later. At the closest end of the Bridge of No Return is CP#3, "The Lonliest Outpost in the World". At the furthest end of the bridge is North Korean territory, outside of the JSA. Notice the 2 1/2 ton truck sitting at CP#3. The two people who would work there during daylight hours needed a big, heavy truck to break through the road barriers the North Koreans had erected for the occasions when they tried to block the road. Also visible in the picture is the tree the fight was over. In summertime, the tree was twice as full as it appears in this picture, basically obscuring visibility between UNC posts. Since the North Koreans would try to kidnap the people working at CP#3 and drag them across the bridge, maintaining visibility between the checkpoints was imperative for their safety during the summer months.
