Was the first explosion also that deep? I hear 0 depth the second one deep. Could be both were deep

This is weird. They are changing the data.. 0 kilometers depths?
Test one.

Hmm, I'm not sure they could drill that deep to place a nuke..got me wondering??

RSOE, the worst info. Changed it's data to 0 kilometers depth and 2 kilometers depth now.

Better to follow USGS.

Edit: I know North Korea love to dig tunnels. But i must admit the first reports of 6.2 miles deep is a bit wishful.

Both quakes arent located in the same place. Maybe part of the newly formed cavern collapsed a few miles away from the actual first explosion. Maybe two sites got hit. One above ground the other not.

USGS revised to the same depth. Something's starting to smell a little "off" here, ain't it?

Ahh, ok, that sounds more possible to be a man made event.

Every time my live stream news channels cuts out I get a mini-heart attack thinking Breaking News!

Oyyy I need to have a cup of tea!

If I did this right, you should be zoomed in on NK, on the satellite imagery map for visual perspective.
Both the nuke & the collapse show 0.0 km for depth.

USGS, NK

CNN is so used to bashing the USA that they suck at providing REAL breaking news. Just now announcing that possible second earthquake has struck North Korea. haha.

a reply to: BASSPLYR

Every radio station, I'm on KFI now. Are stating North Koreans claiming to have tested a bomb. It's also reporting that both china and russia have aircraft airborn looking for fallout. And a town in china bordering North Korea sustained moderate damage.
10 kilitons? G'zus.

Everything is happening fast now. NK making announcement shortly.
We won't know anything for a few more minutes.

What would Dennis Rodman do.🙄

Is it unusual for the USGS to label the events as explosion and collapse before official government confirmation?

When was the last time USA caused a large seismic event in NK around a known nuke site that China and Russia sat wide-eyed and didn't say a word?

Right. North Korea wouldn't be making an announcement 3 hours after an event, unless is was good news, from THEIR perspective.

North Korea's state-run broadcaster said there will be a 'major announcement' at 3pm Pyongyang time (2.30am ET/7.30am GMT).

According to Japan's NHK, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told reporters that it is 'not acceptable' if North Korea has conducted a nuclear test. North Korea conducted its fifth test last September - which also caused a massive earthquake.

Last year:

The ministry estimated the explosive yield was equivalent to 10 kilotons of TNT, the most powerful detonation unleashed in a North Korean nuclear test so far, according to the official, who briefed reporters on the condition of anonymity. The South’s government estimated the North’s last nuclear test, conducted in January, at 4.8 magnitude with an explosive yield of six to nine kilotons. (By comparison, the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945 exploded with 15 kilotons of energy.)

Thats whats got me worrying.

I'm far from knowledgeable in this but the spectro at Mudanjiang, Heilongjiang Province, China show a signature for an earthquake.

Am I missing something? Second earthquake,was there a second test?

Can you link it? It may be useful for cross-referencing.

Ground collapse. It's not uncommon for a nuke test to destabilize the ground around it & result in a big cave-in.

I have read though this whole thread so far and have not found one case of any member calling another member strupid, or a moron, or choose your side nut job.

Congrats thread members, congrats.

Doesn't sound like a hydrogen device?..maybe just over half the size of the bombs dropped on Japan.
