A fully-loaded 747-400 here folks. Loaded with South Koreans and Americans--one can imagine. Pretty serious stuff. Especially if we are to expect more of these caustic launches by Kim Jong il.

Bump for all in Chicago (where the flight originated) Tuesday, or for anyone traveling overseas regularly, through these Asian routes.

On Fox this morning, a Clinton hack was opining on this. The interviewer asked her about her negotiations with NK when she was working on that project, and she got very snippy--"Let's not talk about what Clinton did, let's talk about how Bush has failed." We can thank the Clintons for this latest mess--along with Somalia, 9/11, and many more messes left for the grownups to clean up.

Anyone know if an Environment Impact Report on the sea of japan was filed by the North Korean government prior to the launch test?

My nephew lives in South Korea and had just taken a flight from Los Angeles back to SK on the 4th, that pattern!!!! This is SCARY!!!

South Korea issued no such order, even though it admits it intercepted the North Korean warning to fishing boats as early as July 3. Seoul believes it has done enough by closely watching whether the North would actually fire the missiles and postponing the foreign minister’s overseas trip. In short, the government knew but did not tell the public of the danger ahead.

This is damning. I hope they pay.

Admitting that I know very little about these missiles that are being launched, and that I know very little about Space Shuttle & its trajectories, descent patterns, etc., is there any chance the N. Koreans would try to mess with the shuttle's return to the atmosphere?

BUMP

The chance of one of Mr. Ronery's various Dongs hitting a passenger plane or fishing boat in that large area is just about nil--the old "hitting a bullet with a bullet." But, it's a chance that doesn't need to be taken. If that one-in-a-million chance DID happen...

Asiana's a Taiwanese carrier? Or South Korean?

>>>>When it test-fired a Taepodong-1 missile in 1998, the North also ignored that obligation and was given a warning by the UN Security Council.


I guess it's time to ask the all-important question. So what?

[GovernmentShrinker]

The North Korean missile launching area should be nuked. And we shouldn't wait for the UN's "permission".

[hershey]

The long range missile was evidently in flight for more than seven minutes before it was destroyed. The night of the launch all the dems on Larry King's show kept saying it was in the air for mere seconds, then failed. That's why we didn't have to blow it up. But it seems the rocket was in the air far longer than first thought. Maybe we did take it out and just aren't saying.
