Sky now reporting this missile flew OVER Japan.

 

[Syf]

Hopefully hits the water again.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Jesus... Stay safe.

 

[iMax]

NHK reporting the missile has "passed over" Japan.

 

[cosmicspooks]

Just got a message saying it has passed over my area at least. So hopefully that means I'm not dying today.

 

[Plum]

Holy fucking shit, if this is real then I don't know what to say. It's fucking horrifying.

 

[Makonero]

Hopefully hits the water again.

This is the best possible outcome. Hoping it doesn't hit Guam.

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

Wait so they launched it into the sea or it's currently en route?

The report would indicate it's en route, which would also indicate they're at least concerned at some level that it may not be landing in the sea.

 

[Ganhyun]

Probably, yeah. If it looks like it's headed in their direction they aren't going to assume it's a dud or aimed into the ocean, they're going to warn people.

I figured some test missiles would go over Japan from time to time. I wonder what about this one caused the alarm. Though, like others said, we will know in a few minutes if it was aimed at Japan or just verrrrrrrrrrrrry close to it.

edit:

Looks like it passed over, but I understand the alarm.

 

[entremet]

China already said that they won’t help NK if they aggress and are met with a retaliatory response.

 

[blackflag]

can we please star shooting them down?

 

[Nevasleep]

Got a second alert that it passed by. Took 12 minutes.

Good to hear.

 

[Betty]

Sky now reporting this missile flew OVER Japan.

Which is good, since it missed.

But also bad, since it could've hit?

 

[PopeReal]

Got a second alert that it passed by. Took 12 minutes.

Good.

But this was stupid as fuck.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Why do this?

 

[Apharmd]

Is it maybe aiming somewhere else?

 

[Oriel]

This isn't fucking dick-waving, it's a missile aimed at a country.

Yeah, because NK is really going to risk being glassed by attacking Hokkaido. Christ will you people please calm the fuck down!

 

[SpecX]

Relax, it's just more dick waving by Fat Boy Kim.

This isn't something to relax about. With the way their missiles have been missing the targets, even if they intentionally aimed it to pass the country, there's a high chance it could actually hit and kill people.

 

[Kaako]

Flew over thankfully...still too close for comfort.

 

[Bowlie]

Stay safe, Japan. Good to hear it went over the land.

 

[THE:MILKMAN]

NK buzzing Japan with missiles (live or not)?

They will get burnt if they carry this on.....

 

[Makonero]

Is it maybe aiming somewhere else?

Guam or Hawaii?

 

[PantherLotus]

sounds like it sailed over.

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

So its still in the air flying somewhere? Is on an upward or downward trajectory?

 

[foxuzamaki]

Jesus Christ, stay safe Japan.

 

[tbm24]

It flew over Japanese land?, idk what to think about this.

 

[Jezbollah]

Which is good, since it missed.

But also bad, since it could've hit?

If it flew over Japan, then it flew into their airspace.

I'll leave you to think of the ramifications of that.

So its still in the air flying somewhere? Is on an upward or downward trajectory?

How on earth do you think any of us would know this information?

 

[Puruzi]

holy fucking shit

 

[Shadow Broker]

Relax, it's just more dick waving by Fat Boy Kim.

Dude, Japan sent out a alert to its citizens. This isn't dick waving.

 

[Giganteus]

can we please star shooting them down?

They might have tried.

 

[kmfdmpig]

Sky now reporting this missile flew OVER Japan.

That's highly provocative and an escalation if it flew over Japan. Obviously better than hitting Japan, but worse than previous missiles that landed in the waters West of Japan.

China's going to look even more ridiculous arguing that the sanctions against companies aiding NK are unfair.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

Yeah, because NK is really going to risk being glassed by attacking Hokkaido. Christ will you people please calm the fuck down!

They flew a mission OVER JAPAN. Not into the sea near them. This could have very well killed a ton of people.

 

[Sai-kun]

wow, that is fucking horrifying.

 

[Kayhan]

One day one of these will malfunction and not make it all the way past Japan.

 

[Gaz_RB]

Yeah, because NK is really going to risk being glassed by attacking Hokkaido. Christ will you people please calm the fuck down!

But it seems like you need to chill tho

 

[Kalentan]

If it flew over Northern Japan, where exactly is the missile going?

 

[UberTag]

Sky now reporting this missile flew OVER Japan.

If it flew over Northern Japan, where exactly is the missile going?

Clearly it's en route to Guam. They will get much tourism from this. So sayeth Lord Trump.

 

[MIMIC]

This shit is reaching a boiling point.

EDIT: More info:

Interesting (and scary). All the missile reports usually only just say "NK has fired a missile," not that it fired a missile in a particular direction.

 

[Hattori]

that's straight up scary, can't imagine being alerted like that. Thank goodness it missed though

 

[Apharmd]

They flew a mission OVER JAPAN. Not into the sea near them. This could have very well killed a ton of people.

Pretty fucking sure this is an act of war?

 

[twentytwo22]

Relax, it's just more dick waving by Fat Boy Kim.

This is flying over the country itself. Come on, man.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

This is the best possible outcome. Hoping it doesn't hit Guam.

Guam is very far south of Japan. If it was aimed in that direction it probably wouldn't pass northern Japan.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Isn't there gonna be some big fucking issue with a foreign missile flying over Japanese airspace??

 

[Matt]

Yeah, because NK is really going to risk being glassed by attacking Hokkaido. Christ will you people please calm the fuck down!

Technically, this was an act of war.

 

[shandy706]

LOL @ a missile flying directly across a land mass being referred to as "dick waving".

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

How on earth do you think any of us would know this information?

The same way we heard it flew over japan.

 

[PopeReal]

Yeah, because NK is really going to risk being glassed by attacking Hokkaido. Christ will you people please calm the fuck down!

If a missile just went over Oregon as a warning, I don't think I would listen to the calm down advice.

 

[ponpo]

One day one of these will malfunction and not make it past Japan.

Sadly until that day, no one will do anything about north korea.

Even then it's doubtful.

 

[jstripes]

Hopefully it is heading to the ocean? Weren't they testing again soon?

Imagine if NK aimed for the ocean, screwed up calculations, and it hit land instead?

 

[Xando]

Sky now reporting this missile flew OVER Japan.

So another ICBM test
