nukes - Fritz - 11-17-2013 http://memolition.com/2013/10/16/time-lapse-map-of-every-nuclear-explosion-ever-on-earth/ Re: nukes - cbelt3 - 11-18-2013 Cool. Continued proof that nukes won't instantly doom us all . They already would have . Re: nukes - Paul F. - 11-18-2013 They didn't include the Vela Incident that I could see... Was either a nuke, or a faulty or damaged sensor on the satellite. If it WAS a nuke, signs point to South Africa, of all places. I do have to say, I was unaware of so many tests in Australia (I knew there were a FEW, but there were many more than I thought!), and France also tested many MANY more than I thought.

Re: nukes - freeradical - 11-18-2013 From what I understand, atmospheric nuclear tests have made it impossible to tritium date wine.

Re: nukes - Ombligo - 11-18-2013 until watching that last year I was unaware that a foreign government exploded a nuclear device in the continental United States. Great Britain has been allowed to use a Nevada test range since 1958 and last did so in 1991. It just seems odd that another country, even an ally, would be allowed to explode nuclear bombs on US soil. I can understand why, but seems strange anyway. Re: nukes - Racer X - 11-18-2013 who was testing off the western coast of South America in the Pacific? Re: nukes - Paul F. - 11-18-2013 Think that was France... but I'm not certain. |
