Rik,

=A0=A0 Krakatoa exploded with the equivalent force of 200 Megatons= =20 of TNT, bigger than the largest Hydrogen bomb and 13,000 times the size= of the=20 nuclear explosion that destroyed Hiroshima.

Best to stick with EM waves as opposed to sound.

Hello All,


two years ago someone disturbed my=20 breakfast by a deeply
hammering disco sound. So I took my car to se= arch=20 for
the source. Surprisingly, the sound decreased to nearly
zero= when=20 I drove some kilometers in that direction where
the sound seem to= come=20 from. The Odyssey took 45 minutes.
But finally I found the open-air= disco=20 20 km from my home
in a lonely wood.

Indeed, the sound took= nearly=20 60 seconds from there to my
home. That's more than a thunder us= ually=20 reaches.

More than thousand square-kilometers where=20 contaminated,
including 23 protected nature resevats.

Yes we= can,=20 but Mankind should not do everything what it=20 can.


73!
