#2 Kim Jong-un sez:

Well, I might take a plane
I might take a train
But if I got to walk
I'll get there just the same

Goin' to Beijing City
Beijing City here I come
They got some crazy little freebies there
And I'm gonna get me some

Well, I've been sittin' around waitin'
for my old man to die
Got to take a break from NORK-land
And that's the reason why I'm

Goin' to Beijing City
Beijing City here I come
They got some crazy little freebies there
And I'm gonna get me some

[with apologies to the late Wilbert Harrison]

#3 Plane crashes are more reliable. With trains you have to knock down a bridge, and still need ground people to insure that dumb luck hasn't intervened. Gravity usually overcomes dumb luck.
