I read somewhere that there was a MASSIVE explosion called the Mike or something, can anyone tell me what it is?

well it was a pretty big explosion, I do not know if I would call it massive, but I guess that depends on what you are comparing it to. Mike was an early test of the H-bomb.\nHere is a little history of the testing \nhttp://www.ratical.org/radiation/KillingOurOwn/KOO4.html\nand here is a pic of it\nhttp://www.zvis.com/nuclear/dimg.php3?ivymike1,ivymike\nhee hee I just burst out laughing when reading the article and discovered the device which exploded was called sausage!

I think that's called an explosion. Did you eat any grenades today?

Sadly, nothing appears to be wrong.\nAs of 12:34 EST\n""Senate Sergeant at Arms Bill Pickle told Reuters there were no reports of any arrests or injuries though several ambulances were brought to the scene.\n\n"We have been told by staff of shots fired and the smell of smoke," Pickle said. He later raised the possibility that a firecracker might have been the cause.""\nThey are still under lockdown, but searches have turned up nothing.

I'm guessing that depends on how far away you are when it goes BOOM!  Hey, try asking the guy that was standing next to al-Zarqawi!

Aside from the obvious? (World Trade Center, a 33 BILLION dollar loss!!!)\n\nOn Monday, February 1, 1999, an explosion and fire ripped through the aging power plant at Ford Motor Company's famous Rouge facility in Dearborn, Michigan, killing six civilians and injuring 38, 14 of them seriously. Resulting in about $1 billion in property damage, the fire was one of the most expensive industrial accidents in U.S. history. It was also the largest human-caused insurance loss of the year.\n\nNot a good one?  Go to NFPA.ORG, select "research and reports", under the pulldown navigate to "fire statistics" and "historical" from there you can select a list by largest fire losses.  Again, looking at the top 25 over the past 100 years, even adjusted for time, the World Trade Center fire is more that 2-24 combined.  WOW!\n\nI selected the one I mentioned, because it fits your search criteria AND you can call up many detailed reports about it.\n\nCut and paste the link in sources...

No, not yet. But the media hounded them to be released to the public and that's where the item about making a bomb came from. It was in the news right before the election.

I've not heard of this, but the biggest explosion since Big Bang? Sounds very exaggurated in my opinion. There was however an article about a large star exploding and turning into a black hole that was observed.\n\nThe last link I think talks about your event. The middle one is just interesting if you wonder about them in general.

You are probably referring to the "super tidal wave" theory. The volcano involved is the Cumbre Vieja in La Palma near Africa.

I think a lot of people's worst fears were realized....\n\nAnd now I watched just the first few minutes of the video.\n\nYou know what, this is even WORSE than what the general media pulls.\n\nThe definition of "explosion" is very loose here.  It could explain the sounds of individual levels of floors slapping together, starting a chain reaction that could not be stopped as the gravity of Earth pulled the buildings toward it.  Thinking of how many hundreds of gallons of fuel spilled out and down into the buildings along with all the remaining flammable materials, there would be LOADS of explosions.\n\nIt is just stupid, selfish, and cowardice for people to blame anyone else than the retards that hijacked and flew the planes into the buildings.  But, if you feel the need to hold the government accountable, especially Bush, then go ahead.  He doesn't care, not one bit!!!  And most think that he is too stupid to notice.....RIIIIIIIIGHT!!

Check out Google Videos for this presentation-I don't have all the answers; yet it seems compelling that something "other" than a plane explosion took place- you decide..

I think it very convincing. I remember wondering why there was no exterior plane wreckage the day it happened. If it was a missile or a military plane the government would want to hush it up as it would be difficult to pin that on Islamic nationalists unless they had help. It is a bit like the anthrax attacks. One of the 9-11skyjackers was treated for an anthrax skin lesion, an extremely rare condition before 9-11. There was also a very direct link between one of the skyjackers and the first anthrax victim. His former landlord worked in the same building. Yet the government avoided investigating any links and tried to find a scapegoat.

Look, a 1000 megaton detonation (whether it was due to a nuclear device or due to a meteor impact) would blow the line-of-site atmosphere into space.  We'd all suffer direly if that happened.\n\nA 10,000 megaton (or 10 gigaton) device would locally shatter the crust, and produce a surface wave that would do major damage to the crust all across the world.  Think of a bell: whack it hard enough anywhere and the whole thing rings, and if the whack is hard enough, the temporary standing waves would possibly shatter or crack the bell.  If you don't believe me, look at the Liberty Bell--that crack is (supposedly) due to it being rung hard enough.  Imagine that with the crust of the earth!  Pretty, it ain't.\n\nFrankly, nuclear weaponry is a silly approach to such an effort.  Throw rocks from orbit--you can get nuclear grade energies easily, and you can do it without any radiation.

it was fired. lots of times. \nstationed firmly or mounted on a railway wagon\n\ntry this http://www.waffenhq.de/panzer/dickeberta.html\n\ntranslation of text would be difficult (much technical), but nice pic. click an "bildergalerie" below

I don't have an article, but I was listening to NPR last night, and the commentator was saying the evacuation was really bungled due to an organization and communication problem. No one took charge and said, hey I'm running the show, get 2000 buses and send them down, because no one felt they were in charge. FEMA, State & local police, National Guard, all were not sure what the other guys were doing and so waited for overall direction, which never really came.

It's called a Panzerschreck (Tank terror). It was a man-portable anti-tank shoulder fired rocket used by the Germans from 1944 to the end of the war. It was basically an improved version of the American M9 bazooka.\n\nThis should explain a little better.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzerschreck

My best friend's son just recently celebrated his second birthday. His dad fell asleep on the couch(how rude). So I guess the kid got offended. I was looking at a movie when all of a sudden I hear this loud bang. He had picked up a gift(a keyboard) and slapped his father in the face with it so hard. My best friend and I were laughing so hard. We still dwell on it til this day and it happened in March.
