Yes, China are reporting that the second was a "cave-in" or "collapse."

Wouldn't it be GLORIOUS if Kim Jong was buried under that collapse!

a reply to: carewemust

If you notice, the focus is always on Kim Jong himself being the threat. Not the regime... like we hear with Iran.

True.

Get rid of Kim Jong. Very easy to do!

Do you mean a coup d' taut, or just a reckoning.

Like a large cavern collapsed? Wonder what was in it when it collapsed

a reply to: carewemust

Its been proposed before.

I wonder how that could be confirmed?

Hopefully Kim

No idea but people are saying the second was a cave in. Crazy sh!t

Reading now its 1 Megaton.

The maximum yield of an "ordinary" atomic bomb is perhaps 0.5 megaton. That means a one megaton bomb is a fusion bomb/Hydrogen bomb.

If one megaton is the recorded yield then the sky is the limit for the destructive power of North Korea's nuclear weapons. They could literally make bombs which not only destroy cities but a huge part of the hinterland of that city too. The radioactive contamination could be enormous if detonated at ground level. And if detonated high in the atmosphere it would take down power grids and electrical equipment all over the USA, Canada.

If one megaton is the yield then this is a really big deal.

The second explosion makes me think we either struck back.. or NK effed up

Does anyone think that there is even the slightest chance that he is trying to unearth something?

At this point, a cruise missile set to explode just enough to bring down a building, sent to Kim's exact location, would be tolerated by all of North Korea's friends and enemies alike.

And I mean RIGHT NOW, before Kim Jong starts the diplomacy crap again. He even fooled Sec of State Rex Tillerson.

Just saw a tweet that Japan's Abe (?) is saying the same thing. Hit Kim while the world sees how evil he is.

I was looking for info on numbers of underground tests in U.S. and found this.

The extreme heat and pressure of an underground nuclear explosion causes changes in the surrounding rock. The rock closest to the location of the test is vaporised, forming a cavity. Farther away, there are zones of crushed, cracked, and irreversibly strained rock. Following the explosion, the rock above the cavity may collapse, forming a rubble chimney. If this chimney reaches the surface, a bowl-shaped subsidence crater may form.

I don't think the test sites were in close proximity to each other in SW U.S. I remember one test about 1963. The San Diego Union newspaper had a major write up with illustrations of before and expected after (a lot bigger after) cavity.

Maybe the second one was our actual strike? We could already be at war and not even know it.

Good point! Since the U.S. KNOWS when the nuke test is about to occur, and the U.S. KNOWS that Kim Jong likes to be close enough to get an orgasm from the earthquake, hitting him immediately after the test would be PERFECT TIMING. Plus, there would be minimal collateral damage too.

You have a keen, logical mind, 3DaysGone.

Id go with first possibly a strike. Second either a collapse or even a second strike.

a reply to: 3daysgone

That would be a hell of a news headline to wake up to tomorrow.

IMO, the U.S. would not hit North Korea's nuclear test site with a nuke of our own. And, I don't know if hitting his test site with a conventional weapon would trigger his nuke weapon to explode. Would it?

Maybe no nukes exploded. But something went boom big time. Its all speculation until we hear what rumors are going around about what the sats saw.

There's no doubt that a nuclear bomb exploded underground in North Korea. South Korea and Japan are confirming this.

Only the U.S. military/spy agencies know exactly what is happening there right now.
