It was just on TV. That's what Japan is saying. No confirmation yet.Kain99 said:Hmmmm.... Don't see anything on CNN. Linkie?
I think you mean the 500 - 880 TON range.. kiloton means the equivalent of 1000 tons of dynamite.. What they were aiming for (we thought) was something in the 4.2 kiloton range, and the actual explosion was much less like in the .5 kiloton or 500 ton range. Either it was a dismal failure, or it was a ruse from the beginning, them underestimating our intelligence gathering.Bruzilla said:An explosion that appears to be in the 550-800 kiloton range explosion is very well in the realm of accomplishment with conventional explosives, and I would bet that's exactly what North Korea used. Also, note that the North Koreans have been very vocal about how they were able to contain 100% of the radiation from their test explosion. Even the most recent US, Soviet, and French underground tests have yielded some increased radiation, yet the North Koreans are scampering about at the get go claiming they've contained 100% of theirs. The only way they could be that sure there would be no radiation increases detected would be if they knew for sure there would be no radiation to be detected, i.e., they didn't have a nuclear detonation.
Japanese government sources had information that there was a tremor in North Korea this morning and they were checking on the possibility of a nuclear test, NHK said.

Sure, but there would be indications of that. Are you saying go offline due to EMP? If that's the question, they'd go offline and not come back online. If you mean by a power outage, they probably have a battery backup (just in case) and there would probably be time recorded along with the seismic data. If there's a pause/interruption, it would be in the time code as well.AndyMarquisLIVE said:I know this might be a dumb question but is it at all possible for those seismic sensors to go offline or be interrupted somehow?
Maybe FNC got it straight from the earthquake machine control room :shrug:AndyMarquisLIVE said:And MSNBC STILL hasn't reported on this :
Keith Olbermann was #####ing about Foley for the first half hour... Now they're investigating a bill passed by Congress that would allow anybody to be detained without a trial and without justification.
Does that mean that they are late when it comes to breaking the details?AndyMarquisLIVE said:Oh oh oh.... they've got "late-breaking details on the North Korea crisis, coming up
