BREAKING: US Fighter Jet Shoots Down China Spy Balloon Over US Territorial Waters

NEWS:
"Footage showed a fighter jet screaming towards the spy aircraft before firing a missile which shredded the balloon as stunned locals watched from the coast."

My Opinion: After it flying over our military bases including our Nuclear weapons silo, China most likely already has the images and/or video footage they need.
While I am glad they shot it down, and I can see our gov't not shooting that down over the US and risk debris or possible bio-hazzards, There should have been a way that thing could have been taken down way before it reached Canadian or US air space way back.
