Yes, I heard it driving home this afternoon.

Blowing up a mountain without any kind of warning (assuming that this
isn't a case of universal coverup, which it doesn't look like) is a sure

but effective] sense of humor :-)

If a nuke goes off a few dozen meters under a mountain, is there anyone
there to see it?  What is the sound of one mountain moving?
