Popular culture

In the 2014 video game Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, an audio tape can be found. On this tape, the heavily scarred antagonist Skull Face describes a traumatizing incident from his childhood in which the weapons factory his parents worked at was bombed; his parents were killed and he was maimed by burning hot oil. The events told seem to align with the real-life events of the bombing.Metal Gear Solid V; Ground Zeroes, Kojima Productions (2014) Adding further credence to his story is that Skull Face occasionally speaks Hungarian to his underlings.
