Now this here is just plain interesting:
On the Little‐Known Consequences of the 4 August 1972 Ultra‐Fast Coronal Mass Ejecta: Facts, Commentary, and Call to Action
Tucked away in the history of the Vietnam War is a likely associated effect of the extraordinary 4 August IP disturbance: The sudden detonation of a large number of U.S. Navy magnetic‐influence sea mines (designated as Destructors, DSTs) dropped into the coastal waters of North Vietnam only 3 months earlier (Greer, 1997). See Appendix for additional context. Tucker (2006, Chap. 15, p. 177) wrote that “… on 4 August (1972) TF‐77 aircraft reported some two dozen explosions in a minefield near Hon La over a thirty‐second time span…Ultimately the Navy concluded that the explosions had been caused by the magnetic perturbations of solar storms, the most intense in more than two decades.”
There can be only one response: man must destroy the sun.
