North Korea: What would happen if rogue state detonated a hydrogen bomb underwater?

KIM Jong-un’s latest threat should be taken very seriously. Don’t believe us? This is what will happen if he follows through on it.

What if?


THE ocean would be devastated and low-orbiting satellites would cease to function.

Planes would literally fall out of the sky as technology stopped working and huge waves carrying radiation rushed ashore.

Marine life in the immediate area would be killed and thousands of other animals and humans would remain at risk for long periods of time.

Radiation would disperse, flowing into an unknown number of waterways.

They are among just some of the terrifying prospects the world faces if North Korea followed through with its threat to carry out a hydrogen bomb test in the Pacific.

North Korea’s Foreign Minister Ri Yong-ho told reporters in New York his country may consider doing just that in retaliation to tough UN sanctions.

Ri said the potential test of “the most powerful detonation of an H-bomb” would be one possible “highest-level” action against the US.

“It could be the most powerful detonation of a hydrogen bomb in the Pacific,” Ri told Yonhap. “We have no idea about what actions could be taken, as it will be ordered by leader Kim Jong-un.”

While the thought of North Korea conducting such a test is frightening, analysts offered differing views of the fallout from such an event.

Most agree the result would not be pretty. Oliver Buhler, a professor of applied mathematics at New York University, told Motherboard there would be waves, and big ones at that.

“An underwater explosion or an above ground explosion would clearly create a bunch of waves, strong waves,” he said.

There would also be a shockwave which would radiate outwards and carry “upwards of 140 kilotons of energy”.
