@It's been proven the TB vaccine doesn't work.

@likeitis

The Xichang accdent was caused by an off-course rocket - 500 people died in a village near the launch site.

I don't think self-destruct signals enter into the equation - the North Koreans don't have the radars and telemetry equipment needed to tell them if the missile is going…

Starviking: "Taepodong-2 rockets are powered by toxic, corrosive chemicals. If the second-stage failed it could fall on Northern Japan. If it fell, say, on Akita City the death toll could be massive."

@jonnyboy

Well said.

Kim also gets a lot of much-needed cash from selling those missiles and their technology to other countries.

I'd think there'd be a lot of countries who'd love to get their hands on a ICBM. Kim would be happy to oblige.
