#3 An unimaginable nuclear accident is a real possibility, too. SKorea and the Chinese on the North side better address that since a fallout would not be good.

#4 It is extremely rare for North Kora to report negative news of this type, and the despatch from the official KCNA news agency included equally rare apologies from top officials.

#5 About2.5 million people -- mostly political elites including senior party members or those with privileged background -- are believed to live in Pyongyang.

Those 100 families must be people that Pudgy needs.

#7 An unimaginable nuclear accident is a real possibility,

After Chernobyl, I can image quite a bit. In winter the winds blow from the north-west, so out to sea. In the summer, the winds come from the south so too bad China and Russia.

#9 Frank G,
Are you saying that the stated site of the accident was off by say 31 miles?

#11 Things are seldom what they seem,
Skim milk masquerades as cream;
Highlows pass as patent leathers;
Jackdaws strut in peacock's feathers.

Very true,
So they do.

Black sheep dwell in every fold;
All that glitters is not gold;
Storks turn out to be but logs;
Bulls are but inflated frogs.

So they be,
Frequentlee.

Drops the wind and stops the mill;
Turbot is ambitious brill;
Gild the farthing if you will,
Yet it is a farthing still.

Yes, I know.
That is so.

#12 Hezbollah is deploying missile launchers in residential areas.
Why wouldn't the Norks explicitly protect secret and sensitive facilities with dedicated human shields aka 'apartment complexes?'

#13 Pyongsong, the site where nork nuclear work is concentrated, is 31 miles northeast of Pyongyang. No reason not to hide something under an apartment building. Hard to hide the thermals though.

#14 Alaska Paul,
Nice.

#15 Wonder who Pudgy will blame and what sort of imaginative public execution will he/they receive?
My vote is to put him/them in a cement mixer with lots of glass shards and then set for max revs.....
