With the situation heating up and North Korea threatening missile tests over Japan, I am extremely worried about several things:
- Air traffic safety due to North Korea (obviously) not announcing tests/locations, and potentially the missile crossing paths with airplanes
- North Korea intentionally aiming missiles at airplanes
- The Lockerbie bombing came to mind. I will be flying JAL round trip, which now I'm thinking would be a prime target being the flag carrier.
- North Korea detonating a missile over Japan while I'm there (I will be there around a month)
Are these worries legitimate or am I just overthinking? Help!
