South Korea's No. 1 national treasure Namdaemun break down as firefighters extinguish a fire in Seoul, South Korea, Monday, Feb. 11, 2008. About 80 firefighters were fighting to bring the blaze under control. The cause of the fire has yet to be determined. Namdaemun, literally 'the great southern gate,' was the southern gate of the original walls surrounding Seoul during the Joseon Dynasty.
