so soon?

It's another NK special holiday celebration.

 

[epmode]

Today's a holiday for NK, right? Kim Jong Un knows how to party.

I expected an ICBM launch though.

we should put a giant dome over them like the aliens did in Under the Dome

only then can the revolution happen

Seems to be a reporting error. The original source has since posted the following:

No corroboration from US Geological Survey just yet, but I'm holding my breath for now.

No corroboration from China Earthquake Agency or US Geological Survey just yet, but I'm holding my breath.
9:03 PM - 8 Sep 2017

Today's date, the time of the event, and location of the event are suggestive of a 7th nuclear test; corroboration should be soon, if true.
9:04 PM - 8 Sep 2017

No corroboration of a Mb 6+ event from USGS or any other monitoring agency 40+ minutes in is unusual.
9:13 PM - 8 Sep 2017

Hopefully ISC sorts this out publicly soon. I suspect this was a reporting error or an update to the original Sept. 3 test data.
9:15 PM - 8 Sep 2017

50+ mins in, I think was a very unfortunate error by ISC, perhaps in updating old test data. But seriously, on September 9 of all days?!

Too many RTs on original tweet; deleted now since this is clearly not right and does not need to spread further.

A good, short video that provides context for the THAAD missile defense system:
