can't see a picture, think you have linked to Daily mail, which if I recall correctly, is blocked in Thailand.

Anyway, had not heard the name, so went and looked him up on Wikki. Interesting read:

Wow. Where's Booners, FFS.

[Latindancer]

I just looked it up....that IS a ship moving vertically !

[Eliminator]

I would think there a LOT more that were closer and one can only hope there were no people on board.

Know some of the military and I would not bet on it in a heartbeat.

[Sumbitch]

Still...

Booners, didn't you have something to do with this pic originally?

[Latindancer]

Some interesting effects there.

Some interesting effects there.

The 2 small ships on the left side above the palm tree branches. Between the ships you can see the small tsunami caused by the blast shock wave radiating out.

I believe this is a nuclear test after the war and the warships are surplus, both allied and Japanese. They were placed in/around the blast to study the effects and no humans were aboard. Who knows I wouldn't put past them placing a few cadavers about.

Is the vertical ship starting to vaporize or is it just photo distortion.

Thanks Latindancer nice photo enlargement.

Are we going to have to start a 'Eli's a thicko' thread like we had to for Yorlof?

[Cujo]

Hoover damn and some government ministers, contractors and engineers I'd say.

[Boon Mee]

Think it's been done before but worth a repeat

War Tubas



Imperial Japanese “War Tubas”

Acoustic location devices became popular during WWI for use in locating incoming zeppelins and slow-moving aircraft. By the 1930’s, when these photos were taken, such devices could not keep up faster-moving aircraft. Until the adoption of radar on a wider scale in the late 30’s / early 1940’s, however, the devices would be kept in service with a number of militaries around the world.
