Re: Nuke?
"Mushroom" clouds aren't the exclusive domain of nukes, the atomic detonation isn't the only way they can be created. And that was one pitiful nuke in that first video if it was deed a nuke.

If it was a nuclear explosion, readings from the radiation outfall would have been reported by many institutions all over the world by now.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops. - Stephen J. Gould

True, maybe. But a MOAB would be more likely. Or just a shit-load of go-bang in one spot.Scrumple wrote:If it was a bunker buster you wouldn't expect much on the surface.

Re: Nuke?
All really big explosions produce mushroom clouds, no matter what type. Nukes at surface produce a blinding flash at detonation, unlike this. Looks like the area was already burning before the blast - munitions stash going up?
Although it may look like a forum, this site is actually a crowd-sourced science project modelling the slow but inexorable heat death of the universe.

You'd think they'd do this in daylight hours so we could properly scry the mushroom cloud for clues?Faithfree wrote:All really big explosions produce mushroom clouds, no matter what type.
