Taepodong-2 pointed at waters near Hawaii: report
(Kyodo) _ The Taepodong-2 long-range missile recently test-fired by North Korea was pointed at waters near Hawaii, the Sankei Shimbun reported Friday in its online edition.
Citing government sources in Japan and the United States, the report said Japan's Defense Agency and the U.S. military reached the conclusion after analyzing the missile's path from data collected by Aegis-equipped destroyers and RC-135S electronic reconnaissance aircraft.
The missile was test-fired from its launching site in Musudanri in northeast North Korea early Wednesday local time before landing into the Sea of Japan about several hundred kilometers away.
The authorities decided that the missile was pointed at Hawaii from the angle of its nose cone immediately after the launch and the altitude it has reached, the report said.
The distance between North Korea and Hawaii is about 7,000 kikometers. While Taepodong-2 was widely believed to have the firing range of 3,500-6,000 km, its actual range can be longer, the report said.
It is not clear why North Korea targeted areas near Hawaii, but the sources believe North either wanted to show that the missile's firing range includes the United States, or because Hawaii is home to the headquarters of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, or because the missile could mistakenly hit a land area if fired toward Alaska, the report said.
Hmmm... That would explain a lot. Perhaps some irate Menehune got to the missile in the middle of the night.
in Lebesgue space?
Cool...I have company. ;-)
Does the countable chain condition imply compact?
Naw, this is something we can handle ourselves.
Now I'm really laughing my ass off, if there was no object, why did I even post?
It's a rhetorical question.
Thanks for the chuckles, you owe me a monitor, I salute your dry wit and I bid you well.
These islands are in the flight path and we just had a kid racing in S.F. take out the King's family.

If I remember correctly the last time an Asian country bombed Hawaii they were met with 2 atomic bombs.

I know. It drove me over the edge too and I was happy for your company.
I'm thinking that given their track record, being in the target area is about as safe as you can get.
"the U.S. military reached the conclusion after analyzing the missile's path from data collected, before shooting it down,"
maybe, the ABL had a beta test at it, mate.
Air isn't radioactive. The intake would be the house you built the shelter in. Basement shelters take more more than they are showing in the pic, you're right there. They are much preferable to being on the surface though!
