Turned Out Nice Again Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 Yet funny how the bombs didnt go off, despite going through the arming process. Do nukes really exist? I read that the British managed to con the yanks in the 50s that we had tested an h-bomb, with what was just a very big a-bomb. I can't imagine the amount of conventional explosive that would be required to fake say, a 'tsar bomba' test. Speaking of big conventional bangs, was reading today about the port Chicago disaster of 1944 which some have suggested might have been an accidental (or otherwise) nuclear detonation, such was its destructiveness. http://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/8752/did-a-nuclear-blast-devastate-port-chicago-on-july-17-1944 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy_renting Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Is that a reference to Betjeman? Hence my earlier comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riedquat Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Is that a reference to Betjeman? That poem describes just about every town in Britain these days, and HPC is full of people wanting to build even more of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
