If you get to the Yearly Kos convention a couple days early, you might be in for a rude surprise.
The U.S. military plans to detonate a 700 ton explosive charge in a test called “Divine Strake” that will send a mushroom cloud over Las Vegas, a senior defense official said March 30.
”I don’t want to sound glib here but it is the first time in Nevada that you’ll see a mushroom cloud over Las Vegas since we stopped testing nuclear weapons,” said James Tegnelia, head of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency…He said the Russians have been notified of the test, which is scheduled for the first week of June at the Nevada test range. ”We’re also making sure that Las Vegas understands,” Tegnelia said.
Nothing to be alarmed about. What’s on your mind?
