Working for me on iOS Chrome....unfortunately I'm just within range in Chicago so I started flat out sprinting westward

Don't you need to run East from Chicago to get out of range...?

Safari requires https to use geo location API.

The thing I really enjoy about these types of things is the alternate map projections / focus points from other countries (if you click through to the NYT page). For instance, Seattle / SF are both "just up the coast" from NK.

Greetings from America's capitol city, Washington, DC! Worry not! North Korea is 5,862 miles away, and we are safely 362 miles out of range! Your government isn't going anywhere!

What a cruel twist of irony that here in Seattle, probably the major city that hates Trump more than any other, is closest to NK's nukes and will probably be first to go when his deranged ranting sets off Kim once and for all. Don't let him use us martyrs for his cause.
