michael Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Anyone want to get the ball rolling on the terrorist thing or should we wait? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/west_yorkshire/7360858.stm Seems an odd location for anything sinister IMO.

marbleapple Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 don't know although i would say i wouldn't fancy being any closer if it did go off. Just seems a tad excessive... a ww2 bomb wouldnt take out a mile of land... there would be no London left if that were the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soop Dogg Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Just seems a tad excessive... a ww2 bomb wouldnt take out a mile of land... there would be no London left if that were the case. In London (or any built up area) there's lots to get in the way of a blast to take the energy out of the explosion. The one at Lowestoft is on the beach - the shock wave can travel a long way over empty space and still have enough energy in it to do damage. From the news report I've seen, it seems the exclusion zone as a mile wide - i.e. 1/2 a mile in every direction around the bomb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl_S Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Doesn't look glamours enough for a terrorist target. I remeber when buncefield went off though, my cat flap lifted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
