North Korea Missile Launch Fails

Posted by timothy on from the one-of-the-strings-must-have-broken dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Remember the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile launch by the North Koreans last night? You know, the one that went over Japan and supposedly put a 'communications satellite' into orbit. Well, according to the US Northern Command and NORAD it has been a complete and utter failure, with the second stage and payload 'falling in the Pacific.'"

    Not 24 hours after the launch Obama's up there making his big speech on nuclear disarmament... the UN is having emergency Security Council meetings, Japan is screaming, Russia is annoyed, China and Indonesia are mildly concerned due to rising tensions, Mexico is going to come up with a Strongly Worded Statement... and random Congress-critters are making statements to the media... Heck, check out the BBC's quotes from various worldwide officials on the matter.
