Reply #7: What I found interesting in the first mention of the missile test [View All]

[Spazito]

is this little tidbit:

"Graham said he became aware of the rocket launch earlier this week, in a bulletin routinely issued as notice of where missile or booster rocket debris might land following a launch.

Such warnings are usually for the benefit of ships, but in this case oil platforms can't be moved so easily."

Here's the link to the article titled: U.S. postpones missile test indefinitely

This leads me to believe we were left out in the cold re any heads-up because they are in a snit about our decision not to participate in this boondoggle.

Good question about NORAD. Seeing as NORAD is still a shared responsibility between Canada and the US, one would think they would have given the Canadian government a heads-up on this.
