Hello folks,
this is from Wikipedia about A-Bombs and H-Bomb-testing in the history of mankind:
MOST IMPORTANT READ:
* Underground testing refers to nuclear tests which are conducted under the surface of the earth, at varying depths. Underground nuclear testing made up the majority of nuclear tests by the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War; other forms of nuclear testing were banned by the Limited Test Ban Treaty in 1963. When the explosion is fully contained, underground nuclear testing emits a negligible amount of fallout. However, underground nuclear tests can "vent" to the surface, producing considerable amounts of radioactive debris as a consequence. Underground testing can result in seismic activity depending on the yield of the nuclear device and the composition of the medium it is detonated in, and generally result in the creation of subsidence craters.
NOT THIS IMPORTANT READ: * Underwater testing results from nuclear devices being detonated underwater, usually moored to a ship or a barge (which is subsequently destroyed by the explosion). Tests of this nature have usually been conducted to evaluate the effects of nuclear weapons against naval vessels (such as in Operation Crossroads), or to evaluate potential sea-based nuclear weapons (such as nuclear torpedoes or depth-charges). Underwater tests close to the surface can disperse large amounts of radioactive water and steam, contaminating nearby ships or structures.
MY THEORY:
To put it short: Whatever happened, happened! The fallout isn´t this big underground. Did you realize the large and very present amount of watertanks at the Swan-site? They could be very helpful to contain the H-bomb. So this could be an underground & underwater detonation of a H-bomb.
Ok, so I believe the 815ers (without Juliet) and Miles plus father can escape from the detonation-area and the seismic activities. This would mean, that they survived somehow and are still on the island!!!
Little Ben however could be the only victim of radiation due to his cancer. The health of the surviving 815ers can also be questioned.
Tell me, what you think.
