Panic news report - - North Korean missile travels through Japanese air space.
Reality - - The missile was fired into a very steep trajectory so that by the time it "passed through Japanese air space" it was at a height of 770km. This is much higher than the orbiting US spy satellites which travel over Russia, China and North Korea.
By aiming high, Rocket man demonstrated that the energy of the missiles was sufficient to reach the US, without actually sending them in that direction.
