NK nuclear test site tunnel collapses leaving 200 dead: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/worl...-people/ar-AAugewJ?li=AAadgLE&ocid=spartandhp [That may slow their program down for a while. On the other hand it could bring about a major radiation leak. If it drift South or toward China it could be a major escalation.] ----------------------------------------------------------- "libido sciendi"..... the passion to know.
Interesting! Just imagine sending people into that to clear debris, as the North Koreans had been doing.
Since then, satellite imagery has revealed that the mountain above the test site has since suffered a series of landslides, and seismic aftershocks, thought to have resulted from the blast. North Korean sources told TV Asahi that initially, a tunnel collapsed on 100 workers, and an additional 100 went in to rescue them, only to die themselves under the unstable mountain. If the debris from the test reaches China, Beijing would see that as an attack on its country, Jenny Town, the assistant director of the US-Korea Institute and a managing editor at 38 North, told previously Business Insider......snip~ Hmmm.....I wonder why there wasn't to much focus back in Sept.
The real worst-case scenario is that the mountain collapses in on itself releasing some radioactivity from previous tests into the atmosphere. If that happens, the radioactivity could drift over a significant part of the hemisphere, possibly over Russia and China. Wang Naiyan, former chairman of the China Nuclear Society, told the South China Post, “If the mountain collapses and the hole is exposed, it will let out many bad things.”
