6.8 Earthquake Simulated by Underground Nuclear Explosion!

"... Cannikin (5 Megaton Nuclear Device Amchitka, Alaska). Excerpt from "Atomic Journeys: Welcome to Ground Zero". Mind you, the footage is directly above the epicenter, whereas the epicenter of most earthquakes (like the one in Japan) are like a mile or more below the ground and a few miles off-shore. (Don't quote me on that, though). I don't recall how deep this one was buried, but I think 1-2 miles is about right. (Don't quote me on that either!).

(Formerly: "Best Explosion Ever!! Underground Nuclear Explosion! Amazing Upheaval!")".

The earthquake wasn't simulated... it was real. Maybe the title could say "Underground nuclear test registers 6.8 on richer scale".

This is a 5 megaton bomb, which is a baby compared to some of the other bombs that have been tested. Rather scary.
