This is equivalent to 9.32 teratons of TNT, or approximately 600 million times the energy of the Hiroshima bomb."steve coyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03044111667564781857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145603139776141256.post-70986877352966188562011-03-12T12:36:47.156-08:002011-03-12T12:36:47.156-08:00I've seen it, but there's so much racket i...I've seen it, but there's so much racket in here that it's nearly impossible for me to hear such things clearly.
