“In this environment, it’s easy to make a mistake and jump the gun. And that’s precisely what happened in Yokohama, Japan. On Wednesday, city officials used Twitter to warn of a North Korean missile launch — one that never had happened.  At 8:11 p.m. local time, the official disaster management Twitter account of the city prematurely announced: ‘North Korea has launched a missile’. As it turns out, it was just a misfired tweet that was ready in case of a real launch.  The tweet stayed up for approximately 20 minutes, when the city took it down and posted an official apology (Google Translate), saying the tweet was delivered by mistake.”
