#1 I'm sure some of the pieces could have traveled quite far ballistically. Seven minutes sounds in the ballpark to me. But the word 'flown' in the title implies 'controlled', which is complete and utter nonsense.

#2 I am concerned because a missile with fixed launcher could be put on a commercial ship, and floated close to the US shore. I would the question of overt military actions, to our SK and Japanese allies because of their proximity to the beast. And I would openly promote evolution over pre-emption. However, I wouldn't return to the sham Clinton' aid-for-peace game. That didn't work any better than Bill's resistance to cheating.

#3 Definition of Fly:Flew:Have-Flown as used here:

The pieces of the clay flew for 2 minutes, all but 3 seconds of it after being shattered by the shotgun.

#4 'Flown' as in 'like a brick'.
