North Korea fires 'SUPER-LARGE WARHEAD' that can 'annihilate any US city'

NORTH Korea can now destroy any city in the US after developing a devastating new ballistic

missile, Pyongyang has claimed.

The Hermit Kingdom made the announcement on Wednesday following the rocket test that shattered

a three-month lull of missile launches.

Top military boffins fired the intercontinental ballistic missile ICBM from a site north of

the capital on Tuesday.

It flew about 590 miles and hit an altitude of 2,780 miles before it crashed into Japanese

waters.

State-controlled media wasted no time to capitalise on the successful Hwasong-15 test and bragged

of leader Kim Jong-un's pride in the weapon.

It added: "The development and advancement of the strategic weapon of the North are to

defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country from the US imperialists'

nuclear blackmail policy.

"We also wish to ensure the peaceful life of the people, and therefore, they would not

pose any threat to any country and region as long as the interests of Pyongyang are

not infringed on.

This is our solemn declaration."

"As a responsible nuclear power and peace-loving state, North Korea will make every possible

effort to serve the noble purpose of defending peace and stability of the world."

US defence secretary Jim Mattis said the missile was the most-advanced that had been seen by

army officials before declaring it could hit any target in the country.

He added: "It went higher, frankly, than any previous shot they've taken.

"It's a research and development effort on their part to continue building ballistic

missile that could threaten everywhere in the world, basically."

US President Donald Trump – alarmed by the North's actions – declared he would "take

care" of the situation.

FTA State Safety Oversight Program for Rail Transit - Duration: 2:26.

Safety is the number-one priority for the Department of Transportation and

also for the Federal Transit Administration. People count on us to

make sure that when they get on a train or or metro that they're safe.

We have a chance each year to get together the State Safety Oversight

agencies and the rail transit agencies in their jurisdictions so that we can

talk about program oversight, safety oversight, and the challenges that the

industry is facing.

We've done dozens of workshops we have reached out to the community and we

hold regular monthly, quarterly, weekly and sometimes everyday meetings with our

stakeholders to help them answer the questions and the challenges that they

have.

You have to do it together and just do the work, you have to just do the work.

That's all there is to it, because at the end of the day your state is responsible

for it not not the FTA and ultimately it could save lives so it's worth it.

It's important that we all you know are able to stand up a safety organization before

the deadline of April 15 2019 and we at FTA are committed to making sure everyone

gets there.
