Yokohama Accidentally Tweets That NK Missile Is Inbound

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the just-a-drill dept.

ForgedArtificer writes "Earlier today, the Crisis Management Office Affairs Bureau for the city of Yokohama, Japan had some startling news for its followers; to wit, a North Korean missile was on its way to Japan. The tweet stayed up for about 20 minutes before being removed and replaced with an apology. The city reports that a pre-written tweet was released due to a malfunction in the 'mechanism' that would have released the tweet at the appropriate time."

    Looks like someone got an early start on the North Korea false flag attack. Right up there with the BBC announcing the collapse of WTC 7 20 minutes before it happened.
