California Biggest Ever Earthquake Drill

Hi Everyody,

I thought this article thought provoking...

"Millions of people across California took part in the biggest earthquake drill in US history Thursday, a large-scale exercise aimed at testing the region's readiness for a seismic disaster....

Hi,

I stumbled upon this: https://lasers.llnl.gov/

This is part of https://www.llnl.gov/ is probably the facility where 'Henry Deacon' works/worked.

Now people are concerned about the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) but the NIF seems to be ready in 2009 also
to see if they can produce a star like ignition !

I wonder what happens if this goes wrong ... in California ...

Cheers

Yeah it is thought provoking-becoming more awakened prepares you for anything-the ridiculous doesn't seem so ridiculous any longer.
