"North Korea’s mountain nuclear test site has collapsed, putting China and other nearby nations at unprecedented risk of radioactive exposure, two separate groups of Chinese scientists studying the issue have confirmed."
and
"The mountain’s collapse after a fifth blast last fall has led to the creation of a massive ‘chimney’ that could leak radioactive fallout into the air, researchers have found"
Wait... now I get why this happened a few days ago.
On April 21, 2018 the state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), quoted North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as saying, “under the proven condition of complete nuclear weapons, we no longer need any nuclear tests, mid-range and intercontinental ballistic rocket tests, and that the nuclear test site in northern area has also completed its mission.”
They know something is up and got out of there. Maybe this is why he is being so nice lately, and now he wants to play along with S Korea and the U.S.
On Sept. 3, North Korea tested its sixth and most powerful bomb yet, triggering a 6.3-magnitude earthquake that occurred after the bomb went off.
...
Then, on Sept. 23 and Oct. 12, there occurred several seismic events. At the time, experts, including at the US-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins University, warned that the Sept. 3 test may have caused substantial damage to the site, but could not confirm the nature of the seismic activities.
...
Wen and his researchers determined that the Sept. 3 bomb triggered a central cavity located 440 meters (about 1443 feet) northwest of the explosion to collapse, setting off the successive earthquakes.
...
The scientists told South China Morning Post in a April 25 interview that the Sept. 3 bomb had vaporized surrounding rocks and opened up a space up to 200 meters (about 656 feet) in diameter. Radioactive dust could escape through such cracks in the mountain.
He's making nice now because he'll need someplace to hide later when his own people start dropping like flies. His military might just rebel at the prospect of having their kids born with two heads.
The little putz has ruined his country beyond repair in his quest to maintain his dictatorship.
No one should believe for one second he's finally seen the light and gained morality. That isn't in his DNA.
