CLG:  A new book has revealed rare historical gems buried in New Zealand's national archives,including a bizarre WWII [ongoing] plan to create a 'tsunami bomb' and other military files. Author Ray Waru said he wrote 'Secrets and Treasures' to highlight material publicly available at Archives New Zealand in Wellington. These include 'Project Seal',a top-secret US-New Zealand attempt to create a doomsday device to rival the nuclear bomb. This was launched in June 1944 after a US naval officer noticed that blasting operations sometimes produced a large wave, raising the possibility of creating a 'tsunami bomb'. Explosive tests carried out in waters north of Auckland led scientists to conclude the weapon was feasible and a series of 10 massive blasts offshore could create a 10-metre tsunami capable of inundating a small coastal city.[Right after theannouncement-Fukushima]
