re: #2 Boondocksaint

Can someone explain why its a good idea to do a missile test, with no warning, in a heavily populated area? I thought that is why they have bases like Roswell.

Submarine launched ballistic missile.Probably impacted Kwajalean Islands with a dummy warhead. You can bet that was launched from well offshore, just put on a show for a huge area as it flew higher. And there was warning hence the temporary no fly zone.
