HA HA HA !

"Why not help the Soviets with their shopping? Now that we know what they want, we can help them get it." The catch: computer chips would be designed to pass Soviet quality tests and then to fail in operation.

Good news, if true.

Wasn't there a reference to a pipeline/refinery fire that could seen from space in one of the Clancy novels. Cardinal of the Kremlin I think. It was not part of the main story line and would be eerie if it was a coincidence.

You bet.

Hey, you buy this story? I don't. I think the biggest non-nuke is still the explosives ship in Halifax in 1918.

I think Texas City was bigger than Halifax. Then the California Port during WWII and then Halifax wasn't it ? There were some very big explosions in the USSR during the 80's I remember "hearing" rumors of such in the Siberian region.

Could be BS as you state but I think too much of this sort of walter mitty maurder thang went on day to day in the Christians In Action department. Too much to dismiss in most cases. Your friends and neighbors at work per se.....

Stay Safe !

Frankly, this story doesn't ring true to me. But who knows. OTOH, just imagine all the Chinese and Indian moles working the midnight shift at all of our nuke and chem plants today...

The article said it was the largest explosion seen from SPACE. That leaves the Halifax and Texas City explosions out since those events were before the space age. Three kilotons make the gas line explosion smaller than the earlier events you guys mention, those were awesome.
