Many renowned scientists feel that one nuclear war can wipe out the entire human civilization from the face of the earth. In this scenario, the global leaders and peacemakers should be working towards peace and harmony. But unfortunately, that’s not the case. People living in both the hemispheres are constantly under threat, thanks to the frazzled ties between the US and North Korea.
In another shocking incident, Kim Jong-un’s madness could have resulted in the loss of 300+ lives of innocent civilians flying at 33,000 feet above the ground. According to the US Federal Aviation authorities, the passengers on the flight heading towards Honk Kong, originating San Francisco spotted an ICBM (Intercontinental Ballistic Missile) from their windows.
The ICBM was 280 nautical miles away from the aircraft. At the time of the incident, the aircraft was 155 miles away from Japan’s coast. Along with this aircraft, 9 other aircrafts were travelling on the same route. Over, 716 flights travel in this route daily. If the missile had hit any of those aircrafts, it could have led to a catastrophic air accident.
This incident took place on November 28th, 2017. The ICBM firing was a part of the Nuclear Tests being carried out by the rogue nation, North Korea. This incident once again raises safety concerns for people travelling in a commercial jet, close to North Korea.
