    just WOW! That much power, nobody saw it, but they can figure all this out with some video and probably seismic vibrations, = 3 Abombs, guess burning up in the atmosphere is a good thing.

      Thanks for the article. As mentioned in the article, it just show how shallow human beings are in fighting each other for money due to our own greed.

        So what if nobody knew about it. Would the outcome have been different? The only thing that would have happened if the world had know about it is unstable folks, like Propeller liberals, would have panicked for nothing.
