I agree...some of these reports just get out of hand
Just a thought. A lot of people have asked why Bush hasn't responded to the CBS document flap. 30 years ago in the Naval Reserve may be the furthest thing from Bush's mind right now...
What would make you think it was W? Wouldn't a direct hit on a nuclear facility by a country trying to take out another country's nuclear capability cause a mushroom cloud(possibly)? Thinking Israel here....maybe. Who the heck knows?
Nothing on CNN or Fox.
Wishful but correct thinking!
The test was on Sep 9, not the 11th.
Where can I get a T-shirt like that!!!!
Would not Sept 9 there, be Sept 8 here (almost 4 days ago). Something does not seem right.
I love the Ramones but I hate their music.
Whatever it was, it happened on the 9th so it's not war or we would have heard about it by now.
No, but you know Chinese intelligence, SK intelligence, and hopefully ours are in the vicintity screwing things up for them. Back in the spring the huge explosion on the trains...do you think it was an accident?...I don't.
Has anyone detected any radiation yet, aren`t there satellites that can detect such emissions?
Explosion was on the 9th. (day before yesteday).
Our guys know by now whether or not it is nuclear and if so whether there will be fallout.
Cal Thomas has his pre-taped on.
OK Spet 9 is North Koreas birthday, according to ABC News it happened today.
Just remember, any explosion can create as mushroom cloud. It does not have to be nuclear. Detonate enough of something, rocket fuel, high explosives, ammonium-nitrate, etc and it is possible to create an explosion with the yield of a small nuke followed by large mushroom cloud
This happened last Thursday. Wouldn't the fallout be in CA by now?
SEOUL, South Korea Sept. 11, 2004 — A large explosion occurred in the northern part of North Korea on an important anniversary of the communist regime, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported Sunday.
Citing an unidentified source in Beijing, Yonhap said the explosion happened on Thursday in Yanggang province near the border with China. The damage and crater left by the explosion in Kim Hyong Jik county was big enough to be noticed by a satellite, the source said.
North Korea was founded on Sept. 9, 1948. Leader Kim Jong Il uses the occasion to stage performances and other events to bolster loyalty among the impoverished North Korean population.
Experts have speculated that North Korea might use a major anniversary to conduct a nuclear-related test, though there was no immediate indication that the reported explosion on Thursday was linked to Pyongyang's efforts to develop nuclear weapons.
On April 22, train wagons at a railway station exploded in the North Korean town of Ryongchon, killing 160 people and injuring an estimated 1,300, according to some estimates. The blast was believed to have been sparked by a train laden with oil and chemicals that hit power lines.
The source that told Yonhap about the explosion last week said it was reportedly bigger than the train explosion in Ryongchon.
You sure? Because ABC is reporting today as the explosion and that Sept 9 is NK birthday? Number mix-up perhaps
