I don't understand. If it was launched at sea in a missile test range ,why is it flying over San Francisco?

Chalk this up to a clueless reporter filling in the blanks that he doesn't have the intellectual chops to understand.

The missile didn't overfly the bay, or even the bay area...it was merely visible from there. The photographer is on the north end of the Golden Gate, looking south. The missile is heading west, out to sea. It appears to have originated east of San Francisco because it did: the coastline takes a big turn to the southeast south of the bay area (Los Angeles is actually east of Reno), so the sub could have launched off the southern coast and still been well east of San Francisco.

Captain Gyro,

"Reporters" are OFTEN both IGNORANT of documented FACTS & STUPID, too.

I'll never forget the "talking head" from CNN who described a semi-auto pistol that was seized from a dope-peddler in a drug raid as: "----- a VERY DEADLY 50 shot full-automatic revolver that is far more powerful than any machine gun. No civilian should be able to have such a dangerous weapon."
(It turns out that the "VERY dangerous revolver" was a quite ordinary BHP in 9x19mm.)

IF such a 50-shot revolver existed, you certainly couldn't conceal it under a shirt.

When that particular STUPIDITY was pointed out to CNN "management" the "Big Shots" DEFENDED the "talking head's" foolish nonsense as, "an easy mistake to make, given the many millions of concealable crime guns in the USA".

I remember a talking head infobabe who prattled on about "semiautomatic machine guns" during a report of a liquor store robbery. The gun recovered in the parking lot was single shot CO2 pellet gun. They had all of the details and chose to misreport them.

Thanks Captain for pointing out that quirk of geography. The California coastline does recede eastward as you travel south. Here's a link that illustrates

csmkersh,

San Francisco folks are EASILY scared, as they mostly fear guys like me carrying my concealed Model 12 revolver - FYI, my CCH is GOOD in about 30 States but NOT in "duh pepuls repub-lick of kalifornifcation".

IDIOTS & WEIRDOS, all.

yours, sw

Love my Texas CHL! Like Stand Watie said, it's honored in over 30 states! As for me, I can see no reason to travel to Californicate.
