Japanese Broadcaster Apologizes For False Missile Alert
CAMEROTA: We are following some breaking news for you. Japan's national broadcaster, NHK, now apologizing for a text alert that reported that North Korea had launched another missile. This, of course, comes on the heels of Hawaii's false alert that caused pandemonium. Paula Hancocks is live in Seoul with the latest. Paula, what happened?</s>PAULA HANCOCKS, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Well, Alisyn, this happened just before 7:00 evening local time and it was an alert that came out by the state broadcaster NHK. And the alert read, "NHK news alert. North Korea likely to have launched missile. The government J-Alert: evacuate inside the building or underground." Now, there was no missile. There was nothing coming. And just a few minutes later they corrected themselves, saying, "The news alert sent earlier about North Korea missile was a mistake. No government J-Alert was issued." But the fact is there have been J-Alerts over recent months because there have been North Korean missiles flying either towards Japan or over the top of Japan. And certainly, residents would have been very worried by those J-Alerts and people did take cover. So this is a very unfortunate mistake. And as you say, it's the second mistake in just a few days after that alert in Hawaii saying that there was a ballistic missile on its way -- take cover. So it's really quite remarkable that you can have two very similar alerts that are completely wrong in just a sort amount of time. And, of course, they do provoke reactions, especially in Japan, because the North Korean missile crisis is of a concern to residents there -- Chris.</s>CUOMO: All right, Paula. Thank you very much. The timing is terrible. There's no question about that. We're also following breaking news out of South Carolina. Four police officers were shot while responding to a domestic violence call. It happened just outside York late Monday. Police say the suspect took off from the house and fired at officers near the scene. Two of the officers had to be airlifted to the hospital. Police are not disclosing the severity of the injuries yet. The 47-year-old suspect in custody.</s>CAMEROTA: Pope Francis expressing pain and shame over Chile's sexual abuse scandal. The Pontiff making those comments during a speech to government officials in Chile. Several churches were attacked ahead of his visits, some with firebombs. The Pope's scheduled to celebrate an open-air mass in Santiago today and meet members of an indigenous group tomorrow before heading to Peru on Thursday.</s>CUOMO: We're getting a look at just an amazing video. Did you just see what happened there? That was a car in Santa Ana, California. This is dashcam video. The car hit the median and it just launched into the second-story of a building. Surveillance video is what showed us, and it nearly clips another vehicles, flies into the air. A second later, you see an oncoming bus drive through the same smoke that's left by the crash. Imagine if that second wasn't there what would have happened there. It was a dentist's office. That's where that thing is right now. The driver arrested on suspicion of DUI. No one was hurt. That car is in the second story of the building.</s>CAMEROTA: I mean, by seconds no one was hurt --</s>CUOMO: It would have been --</s>CAMEROTA: -- or killed.</s>CUOMO: It would have been catastrophic.</s>CAMEROTA: But, how does a car catch air like that just from hitting the median?</s>CUOMO: I guess when it hit the median it literally launched it like it was a ramp. So you had to be going really fast and perpendicular to the median, which means he was going the wrong way, as well.</s>CAMEROTA: All right. Don't drink and drive is the lesson, I feel, from that. All right. Wait until you see this. This is one firefighter's lifesaving catch. One of the heroes who witnessed this rescue joins us, next.
