Don > IMO it's fairly easy to discount if the spike was caused by a few million pounds of core slamming into the bedrock after it was severed Possibly, if the "few million pounds of core" fell a considerable distance but what that distance is I can't say. > I'd also question the credibility of anyone who claims 80,000 pound charges of ANFO are used to mine rocks, or that such a charge would only produce 1 to 2 magnitude quakes. I'm in no position to do that. I have to accept what a seismologist says especially when he says it happens every week. I agree that 80,000 lb ANFO works out at an enormous volume but he must have a good reason to mention that amount. Or maybe, like TNT, ANFO is simply a standard used for gauging the magnitude of explosions. > If it looks like an implosion, makes noise like an implosion and acts like an implosion; it is an implosion No argument about that. > Mini nukes need not apply. Why? One would have saved a lot of trouble in the basement.
