Re: UPDATED: Holy Shit, Big Explosion in Arctic!
I can not indipendantly verify but I will tell you what I know.

I have a Friend that's Stationed at Base Borneo in the high Arctic, nothing special, just works for a tour company that takes people to the pole.

he just called me to see if I could get any information for him about what is happening.

"All of our radios are down, and we saw a huge flash from Russia, fallowed by a deep growling sound coming from the ice around ten minutes later."

any ideas?
 Quoting: Switchblade


all radios are down but his phone works.

nice
 Quoting: T-Man


He already said "satellite phone" douchebag, which is all they would use from the North Pole. Derp.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 54119


yea derpina, you know tv and satellite radio work through satellites aswell right?!



its not like they have antennas to receive radio, as they are on the pole. derp



anyways:

bsflag
 Quoting: T-Man


Yes, but he didn't say tv or sat radio, I think he's referring to radio communications.

What might cause that?

an EMI, or electromagnetic interference.

Remember the recent posts regarding strange things going on with the magnetosphere here on Earth?

radio down cellphone works ? rofl
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 36906876


Satellite phone, yes.
 Quoting: Switchblade


Looks like a nuke test from Russia, in their remote northern regions near the sea.

That explains both the sound and EM disruption of radio waves, and yes it's believable that it could be felt in that base, because the radio waves are traveling better on sea than land.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1392733


why would russia need to test nukes.

An EMP would destroy electronic circuits though, wouldn't it?

It would leave modern cars dead, lights out, etc.

An EMI would simply cause signal disruption.

Nice! Very true, I thought the same.

I find the most interesting possibility mentioned is that of a meteor - - though that doesn't explain equipment failure, but may not be related.

Dunno, am looking forward to seeing what this could be.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18448914


possible he was looking towards Iceland and not russia, but it looks like nothing from that volcano, no idea at all.

he didn't really sound too worried about it, just that it happened and the radios weren't working right or at all.

he sounded more concerned when he was explaining the ice.

Yes I was trying to get through to my mom who is at Thule, no luck getting a hold of her but not due to radio issues or military alertness or anything I would expect for real doom, just because she is out in the field.

That said, Thule is a long way away from both Russia and Base Borneo. so I don't know.


I'm guessing it was nothing big, but at the same time with shit so close to hitting the fan I wouldn't be too surprised either.
Unity is the great goal toward which humanity moves irresistibly. But it becomes fatal, destructive of the intelligence, the dignity, the well-being of individuals and peoples whenever it is formed without regard to liberty, either by violent means or under the authority of any theological, metaphysical, political, or even economic idea. That patriotism which tends toward unity without regard to liberty is an evil patriotism, always disastrous to the popular and real interests of the country it claims to exalt and serve. Often, without wishing to be so, it is a friend of reaction – an enemy of the revolution, i.e., the emancipation of nations and men.
