N. Korea's Big Bang

The North Korean explosion story has made it to the BBC website.

"Big Blast Reported in North Korea" [via Wizbang]

Below the fold (for dial-up users) are two seismograph recordings from Japan on 09.09 (generated from this Japanese website). Notice that around 7:43 A.M. something happens that's far different from other times. These events might connect with the Alaska recordings. Taking into account time for the aftershocks to travel to Alaska as well as time zone changes, stations this far apart might have recorded the same event.

I'm still skeptical, but damning evidence would be increased radiation at weather stations downwind from the explosion. Is such an odd bit of data even collected and distributed over the internet?

UPDATE: CNN gets word from a U.S. official that it wasn't a nuke. Instead, the cloud could be from a forest fire. If it wasn't for that goofy alternative I'd say for sure it wasn't.
