" The filaments are only a few hundredths of an inch thick and can float in the air like a dense cloud".

No swarm of "filaments" a few hundredths of an inch thick is going to float like a dense cloud. Even a few thousandths is pretty coarse for such to happen. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.17.178.22 (talk) 08:17, 16 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Also agree with this. Tens of thousanths of an inch would equate to an aerosol or airborne particulate. Secondly, The last paragraph has an inappropriate tense and appears to have been haphazardly pasted from a recent article about North Korea. Pyrex238 (talk) 20:01, 9 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

However, since water supply systems and sewage treatment systems depend on electricity, widespread outbreaks of cholera and other waterborne diseases, causing large numbers of civilian deaths, have in the past been the direct consequence of this bomb's use.

Nowhere in the attributed footnote is this laid out. Disingenuous, as it adds information to quoted source that is not in it. 141.156.130.253 (talk) 14:43, 6 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
