No Giant Truck Bombs

Posted By on May 16, 2006

The “build” of the 700 ton explosives test in the Nevada desert is the same kind as the truck bomb that destroyed the lives of so many Oklahoma families just a few short years ago. It seems that the collective mind trust of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, if not to show the effects of a tactical nuke, are saying, in effect: “Dude, what would a REALLY BIG truck bomb do?” And, they’ve moved to find out.

“To my knowledge, this will be the largest open-air chemical explosion that we’ve conducted,” said Darwin Morgan, spokesman for the Energy Department’s test site. Larger blasts have been carried out at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, including the nation’s biggest open-air detonation, in 1985, a Pentagon spokeswoman said.

In a letter to James Tegnelia, Director of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, Congressman Jim Matheson states, “I am understandably worried that this demonstration is publicly being billed as a conventional demonstration when it’s actual intent is to further the pursuit of a new nuclear weapon.”
