There are reasons why I believe mankind should live in cities and let nature reclaim all the villages with the exception of a few we keep on display as horrific reminders of rural life.-Starchild

the mushroom cloud was 5km in diameter there.Originally posted by Provost Harrison
Smaller than the Hiroshima cloud? Are you sure...the Hiroshima bomb was fairly small...
"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.

No, it's rather twice as large.Originally posted by Whoha
its smaller then the Hiroshima cloud.
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 waterWell, 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.

huh?Originally posted by Provost Harrison
The mushroom cloud wasn't that large, it is saying that the most critical damage occurred within that radius...
"The cloud measured 3.5 to 4 kilometres in diameter, an unidentified diplomatic source told Yonhap . "
that seems to be the cloud.

If I had a penny every time a poytubbie advocated invading NK before Iraq I would be rich."The DPRK is still in a state of war with the U.S. It's called a black out." - Che explaining why orbital nightime pictures of NK show few lights. Seriously.
