"The missile has been assessed to be a KN-17, a former Scud missile that officials believe is being tested to one day target ships. It flew roughly 25 miles and was in the air for about 15 minutes, officials tell Fox News. The KN-17 was launched from Pukchang." http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/04...c-missile.html

Granted my car can not fly but it can do well over 100 MPH.

Missile has to overcome the earth's rotation.

I'm guessing ballistic trajectory but the distance is just measured on the surface of the planet. They didn't mention altitude. It also could have been a failure that spiraled out of control or otherwise lost power and just fell the last few minutes/miles.
US Pacific Command says the missile broke up over North Korea and did not reach the Sea of Japan.

Most likely. Probably launched damn near zenith.

You know what.....it was a zany experiment, and we ALL had a good laugh, but the joke is over
It's time for North Korea to grow up, get a real job, and move out.
They aren't a nuclear power, they cant and wont start WWIII, and if you execute people with AAA guns what does that really say about you?
This all started as a college prank that went too far for too long

North Korea is kinda like your teen kid living in his tree fort with the extension cord from your house !!!
he talks about how independent he is when he is at your table for dinner since his tree house has no fridge
