  1. A New Spin Re:Possibly volcanic? on Mushroom Cloud Reported Over North Korea · · Score: 1

    Someone posted that Drum seismometer reading and the spike shows up on a couple of the stations at the same time. You could be right. I recall seeing something about an undersea earthquake in the Sea of Japan, but I don't recall the date. That could be what I'm seeing on the F-Net link. However, the story keeps changing. Yonhap was at first saying the was no seismic activity, but is now saying that there was seismic spikes around 11pm Wednesday and 1am Thursday.

    While Lend-Lease did help significantly, it only made up for 25% of the British navy. It helped because it made up for losses do to German U-boats, which would've been 50% off their fleet. Instead, total losses to submarine combat ended up around 25%. However, the Germans lost whatever chance they had to invade Britian when they got their air force decimated during the Battle of Britian. Also, British where also the major supporters of the resistance groups, as well as De Gaulle's Free French army and navy in the French colonies.

    Someone posted this link to the F-Net Broadband Seismographic Network in Japan: http://www.fnet.bosai.go.jp/freesia/waveform/prev. html Now, if I put in Sept. 9th, I get the Waveform report for a selected station on Sept. 10th. Now on Sept 10th, at 0205-210UTC, many of the stations reported a major spike. In some cases (Abuyama, Nishitosa), the spike went off the page. In one case, at 242UTC, the Nishiokoppe station, on the north end of the island of Hokkaido, picks up the disturbance, weaker than most. Now, granted the date is wrong, Thursday was the 9th and Friday was the 10th. However, 0200UTC is 11AM Pyongyang/Seoul Time. Considering that we have heard about this now, three days after the fact, I wouldn't be surprised if South Korean and the US governments pushed back the date, only to unveil it when it becomes politically expedient to do so.

    All of the those Japanese seismic research post picked that incident at 0200UTC, Sept 10. The ABU site, first on the list, the seismic pattern line goes straight off the page. BTW, 11AM Pyongyang and Seoul time would be 0200UTC.
