On one day,billions of people sees lights from real nuclear explosion, but they don't escape and even have no fear for that, just continue their life as usual, why?
I think fairness-wise, the combination of MIS- as an anagrind + needing to remove an indirect SING that's not contiguous before anagramming makes it a tad unfair. If the SING was contiguous it wouldn't be as tricky (although at least the letters are in order)
@Sp3000 Pretty much exactly my sentiment, hence the early hint. Didn't think it was outright breaking rules, but at the same time if it stood for a week people might have been (rightfully) peeved.

(offsite reference resources are fine, though most of us usually prefer to solve without them until some decent amount of time has elapsed without progress)
(It may or may not have been more up-to-date recently due to a certain someone volunteering for updates to make it harder for the other updaters to notice - I'll update in a bit if it's not done by then though)
solutions are notionally something you'd find in a crossword - a single word or a meaningful phrase
