      I'd avoid using the Yamato Cannons, because you might alienate your allies in the region. They're touchy about that, you know.

          the mushroom cloud was 5km in diameter there.


          "The top of the atomic cloud reached an altitude of 17,000 meters. " thats about 10 and a half miles high.

          It doesnt have the 5km radius figure, I'm still looking for where that came from, but it seems reasonable.

            theres a pictorial representation of the cloud on a graph with height and distance.

              Smiley, don't you think you're going a bit overboard in the latest NW?

                  No, it's rather twice as large.

                  Well, if we really want to get complicated- the North Koreans were planning to test a nuke, but the test went wrong, and it occured next to a bunch of military installations full of rocket fuel and high explosives, hence a gigantic boom.
                  and ironically enough, that's about as "logical" an alternative explanation available. This was an atomic test of >50~ kilotons, and the public gets to learn of it like an incremental walk into shocking cold water

                    Zylka how big is the Hiroshima cloud? I'm working under the figures that I saw from another forum that it was 5km in diameter. and this thing is around 4km in diameter.

                      The mushroom cloud wasn't that large, it is saying that the most critical damage occurred within that radius...

                        huh?
                        "The cloud measured 3.5 to 4 kilometres in diameter, an unidentified diplomatic source told Yonhap . "

                        that seems to be the cloud.

                          And you guys whine about Iraq casualties, you couldn't stomach an NK/US war.

                              If I had a penny every time a poytubbie advocated invading NK before Iraq I would be rich.

                                anyone seen the picture so far? no. anyone felt the seismic acitivty? no.

                                so it probably didn't even happen. just a test to see how the people react. and they don't seem to be too shocked.
