Talk:Vitim event
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] ?
I paid attention to the article but it didn't put out. ;) Seriously, does anyone know what the problem is with this article? I could see it getting a "Current Events" tag but even that seems a bit much. Rob 14:13, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Problems
One: this article indulges in speculations that are not suitable for the encyclopedia (it reads like a conspiricy theory).
Two: there are various inconsistencies. Most obvious: a 1 kilotonne blast is a few-meter object. Tunguska was maybe 50 m. Michaelbusch 06:16, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bolide or bomb?
Radioactivity and an EMP suggest that it may have been a bomb test -- unofficial, presumably. Especially if there was active suppression of the press accompanying the event.
If so, tritium suggests a fusion device, and the small yield suggests the trigger failed to initiate the fusion component of the bomb. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.196.212.30 (talk • contribs) 07:02, July 17, 2006 69.196.212.30.
