I am still wondering what surface explosion created such a large deep crater.

P!

Beeg bada-boom.

whollycrud that’s a big explosion!

It looks like it was directed straight down too.

The entire train was filled with explosives for military purposes and I believe at the time there was a lot of ammonium phosphate fertilizer nearby.

I saw photos of the neighborhood and I believe more than 12 city blocks disappeared from this explosion.

It was an assassination attempt against Kim Jong il, who i believe had been scheduled to pass through that same train station by train.

he changed his plans last minute.

Didn’t we figure it must have been an ANFO bomb? Or was that was how it was reported to have happened?

One curious tale in the bloody global spy war behind the Middle East conflict An Israeli agent on a stolen Canadian passport spotted in Pyongyang raises eyebrows after Syrian weapons scientists are killed in a mysterious North Korean train explosion. At the time, he was fleeing New Zealand charged with trying to steal the identity of a cerebral palsy victim. He later resurfaced with a fake beard on a French passport in Dubai in a hotel where a Hamas leader is assassinated.

The "trying to steal the identity of a cerebral palsy victim" is a bit weird, but this guy is a serious badass

Kim chee...................

Does anyone else get the between the lines reading that the paper is trying to help people find this spy? Seems overly protective of North Korea with no sense that anyone would have a reason to harm the harmless little country.

I'm guessing that the guy overcharged his cell phone batteries. Probably why he had to wrap it in duct tape, because it got too hot.

It must be tough to be an Israeli Mossad agent (or CIA) agent. The media, popular entertainment, books and other media track only the Mossad and CIA. Nobody tracks or glorifies or even reports on the massive world wide Russian KGB, Chinese MMS, Turkish NIO, British MI6 and so many other spy agencies at work, spying and carrying out sabotage.

The Israelis are always tracked. Despite that they pull of some crazy stuff.
What this article does not link into is the assumed fact that the train was carrying NORK, Syrian and other NUCLEAR experts. Following the explosion, body bags were brought back from North Korea to Syria and the crews that handled the bodies were dressed in NBC MAZHAT suits.

The NORKS built a Syrian nuclear weapons processing plant that was eventually destroyed by Isarel in 2007. THAT is probably the true story behind the massive train explosion and not just an assassination attempt on the NORK leader.

The Israeli raid killed NORK Engineers INSIDE the Syrian plant in 2007. The NORKS built an exact replica of their own Plutonium processing plant.

All the happened BEFORE Syria went into it’s civil war.

Bravo to the Israelis who ALWAYS save the West and themselves from annihilation. Just as at Osirak 1981, so too at Deir ez-Zor in Syria 2007.

Not buying the “The Jew did it” story

That explosion made the one from McVeigh's Ryder truck in OKC (about which I have "some" knowledge) look like a firecracker under a can!

The closest (in time) Google Earth overflight in the current online public database is 4-27-2004 -- by which time the crater had been partially backfilled -- with bulldozer "push-paths" clearly marking the crater site (at 39.982878, 124.458985). At that date, the pool of standing water in the bottom was still clearly visible on Google Earth.

There is no dimension of the crater that is even half of the cited "72 meters". Measured generously, its longest dimension (in line with the train track) is less than 31 meters.

That terminal pool is almost exactly the dimensions of one of the surviving boxcars just to the west of the crater.

IMO, the explosion of high-VOD military grade explosives filling one (possibly two) similar-sized boxcar(s) could have created the depicted crater..

[sarcasm]A-ha!!! This proves that North Korea is secretly run by the Israelis!!![/sarcasm]
