Perhaps!
I thought we were talking about like in the last few months?
Anyway seismology is at the point that they can tell what type of energy event it is. If it was us throwing “Rods from God”, I imagine we would have hear more then we did. The anti-Trump paranoia would have demanded it.
“I thought we were talking about like in the last few months?”
No, this would have been last fall when there was a series of small to medium quakes over there. The Norks lost maybe 200 people in the collapse of a tunnel at their Punggye-ri nuclear site sometime in September, likely while preparing a spectacular show for Party Foundation Day, October 10th.
If those were scientists and technical staff in the tunnel it would have put a serious crimp in Nork nuclear plans.
The tunnel collapse is getting explained as due to weakening of the geology from previous bomb testing. Maybe so. But the timing is curious. It was very convenient for nature to catch all of those people in the tunnel.
And even more curious in the aftermath is the Nork’s sudden and amazing transformation from Belligerent Nuclear World Blackmailers to Peaceloving Wannabe McDonalds Franchisers.
