North Korea: Two signs of explosions, on the night of 09/08, and the early morning of 09/09

A government source disclosed on Sept. 12 that two seismic activities were detected on the night of Sept. 8 and the early morning of Sept. 9, from the explosion at Kim Hyong-jik County, Yanggang Province, N. Korea.

According to the source, both S. Korean and Chinese earthquake monitoring stations picked up from Yanggang Province area of N. Korea, " seismic activities presumably related to two explosions, one at 11pm on 09/08, and the other at 1am on 09/09."

Earlier, another key government figure revealed, "The incident occurred on the night of 09/08. Our government(S. Korean gov.) noticed a sign of trouble on the early morning of 09/09. That is pretty close to what happened. Before the mushroom cloud was observed on the morning of 09/09, we detected another sign of trouble."

It seems that it is either a work accident or a sabotage. Not a nuke test.

Having this kind of large accident two in a row over a span of 5 months could jolt N. Korean regime pretty badly. You get the sense that things are going really bad in N. Korea.

Perhaps we should drop a battalian of OSHA inspectors into N. Korea.

Dare we hope Kim Il Jung was in the area and went bye bye?

Repeating speculation. Could it have been the NK's blowing up something to calibrate their testing instruments for a future real test?

Repeating speculation, again. Could the scientists have told old ILL KIM JONG that they do have nukes and he wanted proof? They piled up a bunch (a whole bunch) of explosives and detonated them to show a mushroom cloud.

Wonder if we helped them have an accident so we could slow down their missile development/deployment program. They seem almost too accident prone to be having all these accidents by accident.

Re #7

They have been doing it for some time. It may not need this amount of firework. Besides, you would not do such a test near known underground missile base, which may collapse if things go wrong.

Remember that awesome orbiting weapons platform in Under Seige? Looks like we have it. (jk)

(I know, Seagal's a scumbag. But still it was an awesome weapon! 'Bout the only thing I liked about that movie, apart from the twisted computer geek.)

Could be an invisable aircraft dropping laser or GPS guided munitions to take out their nuke program.

It would be a shame if Kim Jong Il was killed in one of those explosions.

Did they have an accidental explosion? I have not seen that yet.

It would not surprise me, but I would like to know.

BTW, is Japan getting any fallout?

As good as as any explanation I have thus far.

More Update

Yonhapnews reports now that Russian weather station reported the normal level of Radiation in Vladivostok area. This could be another indication that the accident was not a nuke test.
