Explosions Caused Mushroom Cloud -N.Korea

Posted on Monday, September 13 at 09:09 by whelan costen
A mushroom-shaped cloud was seen in North Korea last Thursday following a large explosion, a South Korean news agency reported Sunday. The explosion in Kim Hyong Jik county produced a crater large enough to be seen by a satellite, said the Yonhap news agency. Kim Hyong Jik is reported to hold a major missile base. The cloud measured 3.5 to 4 kilometres in diameter, an unidentified diplomatic source told Yonhap . http://www.mytelus.com/news/article.do?pageID=cbc/top_home&articleID=1710338 [Editors note: most reports currently are that this is a non-nuclear event.

    I like what a US official said in a <a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/asiapcf/09/12/nkorea.blast/index.html">CNN article</a> "The U.S. official said the cloud could be the result of a forest fire."

    Shouldn`t the US be invading due to these 'weapons of mass destruction?' Oops! wait! No oil in north Korea? Alright. North Korea gets left alone.

    Hmmm, sounds a bit familiar. When India was experimenting with their new nuclear weapons they told the media that it was a tool not a weapon, a tool to "dig holes and move mountains".
