A terrorist threat that would make a nuclear attack look childish

3,318 miles away from New York City, a terrifying scenario silently awaits its awakening. More devastating than a nuclear bomb, an Island in the west coast of Spain, worries geologist trying to predict when a chunk of the Island might collapse into the ocean bed causing a massive tidal wave that scientist call a Mega Tsunami.

Las Palmas located in the Canary Islands last volcanic eruption occurred on 1949. The volcanic lava combined with the heat pressure destabilized the tectonic plates of the Island, causing noticeable breaches on the rifts clearly visibly by tourist who visit Las Palmas.

The trillions of tons of rubble have slowly precipitated into the coast for thousands of years, eruption after eruption, causing the Island to slide down into the Ocean for another imminent collapse.

What worries people about this Island, is the possibility it could be targeted for a massive terrorist operation. The Islamic State and Al-Qaeda have tried and keep attempting to buyout ex-KGB, Ex-National Protection of State Secret members (China) and Ex- Intra-Services Intelligence (Pakistan) scientist.

Many of these former scientist are verily passing by with government help, and would be tempted to become rich just by sharing classified information to these terrorist networks.

Ignoring international sanctions, Iran is currently enriching Uranium, violating UN Security regulations. Would Iran achieve its goal to produce nuclear fusion, the possibility to reinforce Hezbollah militants with nuclear power remains an issue that needs to be addressed more seriously.

 

U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerri has become the main advocate in gathering intelligence reports to prevent a nuclear terrorist attack on US soil.

If a terrorist organization where to detonate a nuclear bomb in Las Palmas, the destruction would be unimaginable. It could trigger the unstable part of the Island to fallout into the ocean floor, causing a 500ft wave that would head directly into the East Coast of The United States. The massive wave would spread into the sea, traveling at 700 Mph, arriving in less than seven hours into North America.

Once the wave reached the coast, it would push up 20 miles inland, with a wave length of 50ft wiping out everything on its destructive path.

New York City, Atlantic City, Miami, Ocean City Maryland, Virginia Beach, Boston.. Etc. Would be submerged under water. The total amount of deaths would square to be equivalent to dropping 20 nuclear bombs into major cities across the East Coast. The disaster would be staggering, and it would be the end of the U.S. economy as we know it.

The Intelligence Community, and the Spanish Intelligence Service (CESID) should pay special attention, guarding with maximum security the perimeters surrounding Las Palmas Island. If accessible, terrorist would more likely use a dirty bomb, since they cannot manufacture, or transport a nuclear weapon without grabbing the attention of sea security patrols.

For terrorist to be successful, they would either have to assemble the bomb inside the Island, or simply look for the Achilles-heel of the Island, station the boat near the target, and detonate the bomb.

The treat is out there. And I am sure terrorist would be looking forward for such great opportunity. Shoot one bird, and kill twenty— Be aware!
