A 20 ton TNT explosion will take place about 60 miles offshore and I'm seeking information on the subject. Thanks. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Paulo Santos | Tel :351-2-310290 Instituto de Zoologia | Fax :351-2-2004777 Faculdade de Ciencias do Porto | e-mail: [log in to unmask] Praca Gomes Teixeira 4050 Porto PORTUGAL | I love fish! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
