+Zurawski Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 No, that was the day I had broccoli and beans. Well that explains why C5s finger smells like a salad bar... [Zur ducks and runs]....

They actually saw the pressure wave from the explosion in the pressure reading of gas towers in London, which indicate it passed through about 7 times! There's an excellent book on Krakatoa by Simon Winchester, which goes into the historical background, the geology and the events of the day. I read it in one sitting on a flight back from the states, highly recommended.
