#1 It should be pretty easy to find a missing mountain. But I doubt there is one. More likely a missing ammo factory or missle silo.

#2 Since when as the "Great Leader" been interested in economic development for his moss eating people?

This is probably another rocket fuel test gone awry.

#3 Perhaps the mountain blew up when the ammo dump under it did?

#7 If the reports of a mushroom cloud are accurate, then this explanation is a lie. This sort of demolition should produce a much more diffuse cloud of debris (most of the energy directed into shattering the rock).

Right-on Lux! The explosive in a rock shot would be systematically arrayed to produce a shattering of the rock that would result in small pieces easily removed by construction equipment. If they built a cavern and shot their wad in one group, you would have a bunch of large pieces that would require reblasting to reduce their size. The Norks will have to wait for the results from our remote sensors and analysis for the truth of their little incident.

#8 I recommend you all read first chapter of my coming book :"Fission and Thermonuclear methods for Hydroelectric Dam(n) engineering"
Very cheap book.

#13 Elements in the US knows exactly how and what happened. 10 centimeter resolution satellites have been constantly monitoring the area. Any delay and or ambiguity on our side, is just to give the policy makers "time to plan"!!

#14 We have satellites that monitor above ground nuke blasts and seismometers listening for underground tests. I'd bet dollars to donuts there have also been planes with particle sniffers flying downwind already. If it was a nuke blast, we would know.

Unless, of course, this was just a fake mushroom cloud, dummied up with Microsoft Explosion by the Evil BushHitler(tm) and his Army of Cheneybots to frighten the quivering masses into re-electing You Know Who.

#21 I take it we are ruling out the Great Leader having gas then? I mean, sometimes those sorts of explosions just....sneak up on you.

#22 Still nothing at KCNA, so this BS is meant solely for outsiders. A 4-km. mushroom cloud in a country smaller than Mississippi ... and no cover story at all for the home crowd. Not even one as lame as this one. If these poor wretches are that browbeaten and complacent, then Kim's regime truly could survive for decades barring our intervention.

#23 They blow up a mountain and no juicy Dear Leader/Juche/Sea of Fire article?

Won't even hold up a card for that.
