A Very Scary Light Show: Exploding H-Bombs In Space

Since we're coming up on the Fourth of July, and towns everywhere are preparing their better-than-ever fireworks spectaculars, we would like to offer this humbling bit of history. Back in the summer of 1962, the U.S. blew up a hydrogen bomb in outer space, some 250 miles above the Pacific Ocean. It was a weapons test, but one that created a man-made light show that has never been equaled — and hopefully never will. Here it is: Video and much more at the link! http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=128170775 added by: treewolf39

100 foot long Narco Sub seized in S. America

The U.S. government announced on Saturday afternoon that for the first time ever a fully operational submarine used by drug traffickers has been seized in the waters of South America. The craft, which could move multi-ton loads of cocaine, was seized in a jungle tributary of Ecuador leading to the Pacific Ocean by Ecuadoran authorities using Drug Enforcement Administration intelligence. The sub is diesel-powered, has a periscope and air conditioning and measures 100 feet long and 9 feet tall. At least one person was arrested and an investigation continues, according to a news release from DEA. Although traffickers have used so-called “narco subs,” low-slung boats that are fully covered and ride low in the water, this is the first full-on submarine ever found in their hands. added by: Stoneyroad
