You started it, you produce it.

SAR, Seismic, 5.2EQ, 100kton impact, at base of mt, most narratives speculative via Chinese scientists, some German satellite imaging but nothing conclusive, no response from US sources other than Berkeley parroting Chinese unreliable reports, US mostly quiet. Mattis quiet after going public with 15-minute statement, speculative radiation leak but none observed.

Nothing is concluded by world press or public/academic data. US military has data but none released <— indicator

Not worthy of further discussion as data accessible by universities, labs, non-military satellites and public view are not conclusive.

Nothing available to public is reliable.

What is known is that NK is in fear and Gen. Mattis does not make idle non-serious statements.

Here's satellite SAR (that's "Synthetic Aperture Radar" for those of you in Rio Linda...) data showing what happened to the top of Mantapsan as the result of the internal blast displacement:

The diameter of the mountaintop widened ~11 feet, and the center (directly over the blast site) dropped ~2 feet.

The aftershock caused by the cavity collapse was >M4.2 and occurred only ~8.5 minutes after the blast event.

I was personally monitoring four seismic stations bracketing the test site...

...and ID'd the gooktest in near-real time:

(FYI, to anyone "in the know", the signature of the cavity-collapse event is also as clear as day on the above seismograms.)

Them's FACTS, FRiend!

OTOH... It was you who blustered:

"I would bet Kim Jong knows about Rods From God and what they have already done to his nuclear program."
"No mountain fortress or cave can withstand their attack. The ‘earthquake’ leading to the deaths of their highest ranking nuclear personnel was an explosion of sorts on top of their underground bunker facility."

And -- your retort to factual info is a scramble of name-dropping and buzzwords:

"Mattis", "15 minutes" "in the know", "SAR, Seismic, 5.2EQ, 100kton impact, at base of mt."

1) Which is it, FRiend? " on top of "? -- or, " at base of "?

2) Apparently your "5.2EQ" refers to a seismic event. If so, you should be able to show us a record of it on those same four seismographs -- here:

Enough!

Bravo. Sierra. Smoke. Mirrors. Fake News.
