'North Korea has launched a missile', Japan mistakenly tweets attack to 40,000 followers | World | News | Daily Express

Quote:
The city, south of Tokyo, prematurely fired its tweet, announcing "North Korea has launched a missile."

There were also blank spaces included where the exact time of the launch was supposed to have been written, indicating that the tweet was most likely meant to be saved as a draft for when the Pyongyang government does give its order to fire.
Wow.

... meanwhile soldiers on the south side of the DMZ sent a carrier pigeon off to the North with the following message: "Please disregard the intense military bombardment of your country... it was initiated in error. We are sorry for any inconvenience... "

Is it possible a war could be started based on a Tweet? That's right up there with the sandwich that started WW1.

How stupid does someone have to be to DRAFT a tweet?

You can't type more than two sentences with few words in a tweet.

How incredibly stupid.

So they really think the fat man is going to pop one off.

Preparing for it to the degree that they have to DRAFT a tweet.

I miss the old days when "Twitter wars" centered around the size of Kim Kardashian's backside.

*sigh*
