Giving you ATS links, is not derailing this thread.
Neither is asking you why its "cool" to have a weapon like this.
The ATS links provide more in depth information concerning Project Seal, then this thread provided.

My quest to Deny Ignorance, sometimes has me question the motives of what is being provided, and why.
Sorry if you believe I was derailing the thread with questions and ATS links on the subject.......

No, but your extreme arrogance combined with your comments (which are for the most part unrelated to the topic) appears to be an attempt at derailment.

Ignorance isn't the main problem you should address, rather, your arrogance should be your top priority.

Your first comment was clearly unrelated to this thread and the Tsunami bomb.

Derailment wasn't the topic.....until you brought it up. I asked a pertinent question, as to why you thought a Tsunami bomb was "cool". Using a weapon like this might have been considered a war crime by some, Agree?
But it is relevant. At the time........
British and US defence chiefs were eager to see it developed, and it was considered potentially as important as the atomic bomb
Tsunami bomb
Although some speculated it was mostly hype and deception.
But that doesn't mean the information is less compelling, especially since MANY facts still pertain to the whole project in these threads. There is information to be gleaned by them, and there were more then one on the subject. Dismissing the threads is Arrogant, especially since there's more information then in this one....
Again, my assumed arrogance wasn't the question, nor was it relevant to the thread. The questions I asked were, and clearly you felt need to whitewash them with insults. Arrogance indeed.....

He asked you why you thought the Tsunami bomb, which was considered to be a rival to the atomic bomb, 'cool', whereas you made a thread describing the US's actions taken with the Atomic bomb justifiable evidence for war crimes. You then called him a 'smart arse' and told him to stop 'derailing' your thread, which he clearly wasn't doing. If anything, you were the smart arse.
I would've asked the same thing as it is pertinent to this thread -- what is your view on the Tsunami bomb as opposed to the Atomic bomb. It doesn't matter which way you look at the question, it relates to the thread and isn't trying to 'lure' you into answering a question that you don't want to answer. Just a simple question, try not to be rude when people ask you about your views in your own threads.edit on 31-12-2012 by mr10k because: (no reason given)

I'll admit it, I was wrong. Interesting title thou...

Off topic but... They destroyed reefs to test bombs? That's ****ed up.
But on a serious note we will probably see something like this used. I have a feeling someone will set off a bomb in the pacific to show military might but it will set off earthquakes, volcanos, and tsunimis.

Why is this weird?
2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, equivalent to 600 megaton.
1961 (50 years ago), Tsar Bomba, 50 megaton (could be scaled to 100 megaton).
Who knows what they have now.
The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake was an undersea megathrust earthquake on Sunday, 26 December 2004, with an epicentre off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. The quake itself is known by the scientific community as a subduction and triggered a series of devastating tsunamis along the coasts of most landmasses bordering the Indian Ocean, killing over 230,000 people in fourteen countries, and inundating coastal communities with waves up to 30 meters (98 ft) high.[6] It was one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history.
With a magnitude of Mw 9.1–9.3, it is the third largest earthquake ever recorded on a seismograph. The earthquake had the longest duration of faulting ever observed, between 8.3 and 10 minutes. It caused the entire planet to vibrate as much as 1 centimetre (0.4 inches)[7] and triggered other earthquakes as far away as Alaska.

I think i have a few of these documents ....
Shame i have no scanner.
Operation Crossroads was a series of nuclear weapon tests conducted by the United States at Bikini Atoll in mid-1946. It was the first test of a nuclear weapon after the Trinity nuclear test in July 1945, and the first detonation of any nuclear device following the Fat Man detonation on August 9, 1945. Its purpose was to investigate the effect of nuclear weapons on naval ships.
Operation Wigwam involved a single test of the Mark 90 Betty nuclear bomb. It was conducted between Operation Teapot and Operation Redwing on May 14, 1955, about 500 miles southwest of San Diego, California. 6,800 personnel aboard 30 ships were involved in Wigwam.
