North Korea: Nuclear Accident Last Week?

News broke this weekend that there was a major explosion in North Korea that caused a two mile wide mushroom cloud to form.

So how much dynamite would it take to produce a mushroom cloud two miles wide and cause seismic readings hundreds of miles away?

According to experts, about a thousand tons of dynamite would do it.

Question: why would the North Koreans have that much dynamite in one location?

Our government says the cause was a “forest fire.” I think that’s a boatload of hooey.

I think North Korea has been setting off nukes, whether accidentally or intentionally. This is the second time North Korea has had a “disaster” like this. If you recall, a train exploded, leveling everything within two miles of the train and causing two thousand casualties. That accident took place not far from China.

I think that North Korea had a nuclear accident which resulted in a partial-yield detonation on Thursday. Since it happened in open air, it stands to reason that something went wrong and the bomb detonated prematurely. Nuclear radiation may have been contained to ground zero.

We should know within a couple days what the real deal is. “Forest fire” indeed. Forest fires do not cause seismic activity. I can accept a lot of non-nuclear possibilities, but not a forest fire. If there is a forest fire, it happened after the explosion.
