For two months now, scientists have been warning North Korea's resident midget dictator that the tunnel into the side of the mountain used for testing nuclear weapons was in danger of collapse. He ignored them. The tunnel has now collapsed, killing an estimated 200 workers and possibly leaking a radioactive cloud into the surface and atmosphere.
The structural integrity was evidently severely damaged when Kim Jong-un conducted his sixth underground nuclear test in September; it was the largest of all tests and North Korea claimed it to be a hydrogen bomb.
Initial reaction here is glee, but that radiation could well be on the way to the west coast of the United States. Some observers think this disaster may be worse than Chernobyl or Fukushima in terms of radioactive danger.
