It cannot be a nuclear explosion, though we don't know what it is, but there is no radiation, no seismic signature, and no crater.

Well it aint swamp gass, but after this many hours and no fall out, and none of the universities along this very earthquake prone region- who therefore ALL have seismographs- can place a event at the right time and place...And since neither radiation sampling OR seismic study is a goverment monopoly there also cannot be a coverup.

I've heard it was a giant FAE.
You know that Kim Yong "very" Il "indeed" pulled this stunt to garner the world's attention once again. He is an evil and very dangerous sociopathic attention whore, nothing more. |
|
did you mean giant FART? |

Was it a controlled event...or a mishap?
What was the apparent yield of the explosion in tons of TNT? What were the consituent parts of the residue sent into the upper atmosphere? IF a controlled event, was it a T&E "precursor" test to calibrate instruments as was done at Trinity with a controlled detonation of 100 tons of TNT? Nuclear detonations are virtually impossible to hide. We'll know. |

Korean nuke - looks just like ours but doesn't work half as well.

FYI: No seismic activity means no explosion.
IIRC the USGS seismic detectors are capable of sensing when someone sets off a five pound charge of TNT in a South African diamond mine. They surly would have caught something that made a five k wide mushroom cloud. I will go with the fire theory for lack of a better one. |
|
What kind of explosion or non nuclear event could yield a mushroom cloud that large? Over 2 miles wide?
That's a shitload of black powder. |
|
I'm thinking maybe a large vat of rocket fuel... Several of the reports mentioned the cloud being near NK missile facilities. |
|
|
Somebody want to explain how 5 pounds of TNT can be detected in a south african mine, but something capable of making a 2 1/2 mile nushroom cloud (even if an airburst or ground level explosion) would not be readable? Wouldn't there be a concusion force that would well exceed that of five pounds of TNT?

USGS siesmic sensors, plus the DOD sensors used to monitor compliance with the Nuclear Test Ban treaty, plus all the GPS satellites have a secondary Nuclear Detonation Detection System payload to look for the characteristic double flash. |

Simple… It deflagrated (burned) instead of exploded. EXAMPLE: 1)Grab a fifth of the best “white lightning” you can find and poor it out on warm concrete. 2) wait a minute 3) Stand WAY back and throw a lit match on it. You get a large “whump” sound and about a six foot pillar of flame. Not a bang and a crater in your driveway. |

I posted this info over here: www.anomalies.net/cgi-bin/bbs/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=57;t=000003;p=20
Wikipedia is reporting this info also. Please note what I highlighted. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryanggang_explosion
The article states the explosion took place in (R)yanggang province, Kimhyungjik county. Here is the L&L of (R)yanggang province. That should be close enough. www.world-gazetteer.com/d/d_kp_yg.htm Latitude 41.40°N Longitude 128.16°E Map of North Korea. The province in question is the second northern most one. Please note there is a facility there which might produce highly enriched uranium. www.nti.org/e_research/profiles/NK/45_548.html
And then there's the Mother Of All bombs en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massive_Ordnance_Air_Blast_bomb

Deflegration would not yield a mushroom cloud - a mushroom cloud requires a blast wave. |

HAHA!! Been to Korea, eh? |
|
|
And now we debate the shape of a cloud reported third-hand by a second-rate news agency? Bla... No seismic activity, no radiation and no crater = not a nuke or even a significant explosion. |

|
N Korea now says the blast was a planned demolition of a mountain for a hydrolectric project.

Forest fire... There are documented pics of 'Mushroom Clouds' in Kali during fire season... |
|
|
Definately NOT a MOAB explosion... MOAB can only be delivered by transport aircraft, and there's no way we'd get a C-17 past NORK air defenses... Also, MOAB would register on sensors... Sounds like a big forest fire to me... |
