Does anyone speak lunatic that can translate for the rest of us?
The missile is believed to be an Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile, not an ICBM, according to the U.S. military.
The altitude of the North Korean ballistic missile "greatly exceeded" 2,500km, according to the Japanese defence ministry.
North Korea is expected to make a major announcement today at 3:30 local time (7:30 BST), according to media reports.

North Korea has working rickets but what they don't have is working guidance systems. They have no chance of hitting anything on purpose. The limiting factor for them on ICBMS is they can't control where they go on reentry.

So where did this missile actually go anyway, anyone heard where it landed yet?
Sea of Japan.
The environmentalists must be incensed. South Korea has polluted that portion of The Sea of Japan with at least 10 toxic missiles this year alone, haven't they?

because this one can hit Alaska or maybe even Seattle.

Doesn't the USA have the capability to stop a missile, if it's flying for 40 minute to get to Alaska or Seattle? For that length of time, we should have at least a few "shots" at destroying it, from both ground and airborne intercepts.
