That's my studio. It's subterranean.

The analysis of the fragments caused by the explosion and of the shape and form of the crater gives indicators equally supportive of hypotheses of a surface and a subterranean explosion.

The best hope for most North Koreans is the subterranean market economy that fills the gaps in the state s planned economy and public distribution system. Trade with China is keeping those market forces supplied with goods and business opportunities across the border.

Many of the indicators pointing to a subterranean explosion, such as the fragments of, inter alia, the road asphalt and manholes, found in upper floors of the Hotel St Georges, the impact on the vehicle roofs, and the damage to upper floors in the adjacent buildings, are not inconsistent with a surface large explosion.
