Nuclear device exploded in Sichuan

Lu Shishen, who reported the cover up of the earthquake forecast, said that there was a strong nuclear explosion in Sichuan during the earthquake.

Xinhua reported yesterday that an explosion of “volcano was observed in the earthquake”, people said that concrete debris was burst out of the crack during the quake.

Experts tested the debris and found it is radioactive, according to Lu Shishen’s report.

Full report in Chinese:

Ping!

[SIDENET]

Xinhua reported yesterday that an explosion of “volcano was observed in the earthquake”

I think that something got lost in translation.

[REDWOOD99]

Whoa!

[Southack]

Unlikely. China’s May 12 earthquake was 12 miles deep and registered 7.8...unusual for nukes to be that deep or explosive.

[Dustbunny]

Interesting !!

[My Favorite Headache]

Talk about a great PR campaign they are running for the Olympics over there.

[SIDENET]

I believe that it is saying that there was a nuclear accident caused by the earthquake.

[lafroste]

I don’t know the source, but if true, this is huge (and serial).

[umgud]

Are they insinuating the EQ set off the nuke?

[wastedyears]

Testing, reactor explosion, or rogue agency.

[TigerLikesRooster]

What they are saying, IMHO, is that the earthquake triggered the huge explosion inside an underground nuclear installation(conventional or nuclear? we do not know)and t debris burst out of the ground as a result and scattered all over the place.

“Xinhua reported yesterday that an explosion of “volcano was observed in the earthquake”

****

Oh boy, these commies are supposed to surpass us yet they couldn;t even translate simple English.

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

No matter how you translate this, it doesn’t sound good.

[LibertyRocks]

That’s my take on it as well. How could there be radioactive particles in the debris if it was not? I sure hope this isn’t as bad as the Soviet’s cover-up of the Chernobyl disaster.

[Southack]

Here's the seismograph of the earthquake. I personally don't see a nuke signature (sharp crack, not fuzzy) in it:

[Southack]

Just for comparison (though sadly the images seem to have been lost to Time), here’s a thread from 2005 where is *does* look like a nuclear event occured back then: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1528716/posts?q=1&;page=1

[Bender2]

Whoa!

BUMP to check the fallout patterns later!

[PugetSoundSoldier]

I don’t know the source, but if true, this is huge (and serial).

Well then, it's OK... If it was really bad it would be hugh and serial! Manbearpig is serial about this!

[TigerLikesRooster]

I also suspect that this is not a nuclear device(bomb) going off. More likely, nuclear reactor or other nuclear facility blew up and sent radioactive debris out to the surface.

[Ezekiel]

Looks like even earthquakes made in China are contaminated.

Lu Shishen, who reported the cover up of the earthquake forecast, said that there was a strong nuclear explosion in Sichuan during the earthquake.

I would not be surprised if this actually occurred.

The Communist Chinese play fast and loose with safety and no doubt have little concern if part of their own population were to be eliminated by accident.

"...choose to belong to sex..."

Hear hear...

[July 4th]

If they can get a nuke that deep, the any concern about the world’s petroleum supply is unfounded.

[TXnMA]

A more likely scenario is that a large underground nuclear test explosion triggered the earthquake.

Particularly troubling is the fact that the Earthquake Bureau of Communist China held a major conference in Hangzhou on April 28, 2008—two weeks before the Sichuan earthquake. The title of the conference was “Training Course for Keeping Earthquake Information Confidential”.

Agenda item # 1: “Study of Regulations and Provisions for Keeping Earthquake Information Confidential. Agenda item # 2 was “Discussions of Working Methods for Keeping Earthquake Information Confidential”.

Sure would be nice to hear what AFTAC has to say about that event (or sequence of events)...

[steve86]

I would think some kind of criticality occurred, possibly in improperly stored high-level waste or fuel rods, maybe combined with a chemical explosion of some kind?

That happens. After assembling by BBQ (following the translated directions) it looks more like a lawn mower.

Believe it or not but to speak Chinese it is necessary for the speaker to access both hemispheres of the brain simultaneously.

This seems to be somewhat genetic in origin with your typical Chinese being born to do the job. Europeans and others can learn Chinese, but they access one side only -

Science News has some articles about this in the last year or so if you want to look them up.

What this means is that most Chinese to English translators tend to focus on the side of the brain where they keep English, and thereby LOSE all the sense of the word or phrase or picture kept in the other side of their brains for use in Chinese.

I have no doubt that the only solution to this problem will be electronic in nature.

One of life's little delights is to teach a Chinese speaker how to handle English and to add "warmth" to it. Can take years and years and years!

[txhurl]

Oh Hell.

[poinq]

I have half a mind to believe you.

I've been wondering for a few days if a nuclear accident or nuclear testing caused the earthquake. (Cause and effect in question.)

[rwfromkansas]

uh huh.......yeah. Sure.

What a crock of poop.

[LaineyDee]

Believe it or not but to speak Chinese it is necessary for the speaker to access both hemispheres of the brain simultaneously.

I know a few Bubba's that don't have to use either hemisphere of their brains to speak. :p

[taraytarah]

Why the heck are they doing testing in Sichuan, which had a 7.4 in 1933 and a 7.3 in 1948?

[Nathan Zachary]

I don’t know about 12 miles, but holes 5-8 miles deep are drilled for nuclear waste disposal research. It could be that one of China’s experimental waste disposal sites got churned up in the earthquake.

[Grizzled Bear]

Has Pelosi and Reid announced it’s Pres Bush’s fault, yet?

[AprilfromTexas]

That was my understanding as well.

[MediaMole]

I believe that it is saying that there was a nuclear accident caused by the earthquake.

That would correspond with a news report from last week. It reported that large numbers of Chinese troops went into an area to contain a nuclear accident caused by the earthquake.

The report was played down, claiming that the army went in to secure radioactive materials from nuclear medicine units in damaged hospitals.

[txhurl]

Crazy as the ChiComs are, I doubt they’d tinker with their already precarious Dam system.

Unless the test was far, far, far away, and the law of Unintended Consequences just got taken to the Karmic Supreme Court.

[Cold Heart]

BTTT

...but it makes a great Margarhita...

[uglybiker]

Manbearpig is known to live in deep caves. The Chinese were were going to fill it with hot molten lead but were out that day.

So they used a nuke, instead. :-P

[VanShuyten]

Nuclear material, if not dispersed well enough, can generate enough heat to vaporize itself or the storage matrix and produce high-pressure gasses. If in a closed container, a reactor core, or storage site, it can appear to explode if there is a sudden decompression. An explosion also could have been caused by the rupture of a high pressure water or liquid sodium cooling system. In either case, US radiation monitors should have picked up any traces of the plume if there was a release of radiation.

[zeestephen]

Aliens in Denver.

The “whitey” videotape.

Nuclear explosion caused by Chinese earthquake, or maybe vice versa.

FreeRepublic is romancing every hot rumor in town.

[MindBender26]

A few questions.

Get them all right and I’ll get Hillary and Huma to.......

1. This for real?

2. Did device start earthquake?

3. WTF?

4. Reaction among the Sons of the Rising Sun?

[Rennes Templar]

“...explosion of “volcano was observed in the earthquake”, following cloudburst of typhoon flooding in tsunami during heat wave.

[Earthdweller]

"Unless the test was far, far, far away, and the law of Unintended Consequences just got taken to the Karmic Supreme Court."

LOL!
