"Missile launch. Missile launch. North Korea appears to have fired a missile. Take refuge in a solid building or underground," droned the sirens, according to Reuters. Somewhere above, a North Korean multi-stage missile streaked overhead at many miles per second. The missile's stages could have fallen off and crashed into Japan. The warhead could have missed and crashed down. The payload may have been nuclear for all they knew on the ground. In the video below, see the surreal way many Japanese woke up on Tuesday morning.    SEE ALSO: South Korea is planning for all-out war and the decapitation of the Kim regime   Share the latest business news with your network:    Email sent to:   |   Manage your email preferences   |   Unsubscribe Terms of Service   |   Privacy Policy Business Insider. 150 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10011
