Are the DPRK's missiles that accurately aimed? Also, would they target SF given that it's #13 on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o… ?

Looks like millimeter wave rather than backscatter: propublica.org/special/scann… (though US has phased out backscatter by now, I think)

Other interesting features:
- tail to left of UA tail
- skyline to right of UA tail
- red writing on building under skyline
(but no answer)
