Nuclear Explosion Suspected at Epicenter of the Sichuan Earthquake

An unnamed expert believes that a nuclear explosion caused the recent 8.0 magnitude Sichuan earthquake in China, where three weeks after the catastrophe the death toll has reached 69,000 plus.

Overseas Chinese website Boxun News reported that the expert confirmed there was a nuclear explosion near the epicenter, based on witness reports and the discovery of concrete rubble believed to have come from an underground military installation.

Oh, Brother.

Ruh Roh...well then again never mind. This is China, this won’t change anything.

ping.

There was a report a week or so ago that mentioned something about the earthquake uncovering or releasing a great deal of nuclear waste or byproducts.

[BunnySlippers]

China has been trying to quash conspiracy theories. Not too successfully I see.

[Jo Nuvark]

Has Iran been outsourcing their nuclear testing again?

没有红色导线!

The expert believes the nuclear explosion was not confined to the underground test area and has caused radiation contamination,

People will be feeling the effects if this is true.

Complete BS.

Radiation leakage into the atmosphere, driven by prevailing winds into international waters where it would be easily detected by US snooper aircraft, would have been revealed a week ago!

[TBall]

And the US snooper aircraft would immediately tell CNN and we would all know about it?

[DogBarkTree]

Is this from rense.com? This is right up there with American and Israeli nukes tests setting off the earthquake that caused the tsunamis in the Indian Ocean.

Well under Obama the aircraft would be defunded due to its massive carbon footprint and ugly military appearance. Currently the information won’t be officially leaked for another 3-5 days.

[pfflier]

Somehow , officially or unofficially, yes.

And the US snooper aircraft would immediately tell CNN and we would all know about it?

There would be plenty of civilian detectors that would know about the radiation spike and would share that information with anybody who cared to broadcast it.

That's one of the reasons the Soviets couldn't cover up Chernobyl.

The big difference here though, is Chernobyl actually was a nuclear event and this was a regular old earthquake.

Oh no! The Chinese have stolen design plans for our natural disaster machine.

"没有红色导线!"

I agree that people would talk about sensors going off, but that is not to say that it would make mainstream news.

[virgil]

I don’t know if that applies to an underground detonation, but I remember a few years ago that I think it was Iran or Afganistan, one of the “stans” had a huge earthquake not long after pakistan had an underground test. Hmmmm.
