Then how come it was considered an accident?
Kylon, you said it yourself. You'd need tunnels all around the place and you'd need explosives set in strategic points. Something like what you suggest can't possibly happen "naturally" or by "chance". And yet it is obvious that the official explanation is that no one is responsible, it's just an accident, it's not a crime.
It doesn't match.
Even if you suggest the official explanation is that the japanese military during the war created that system as a way to self-destruct the island (which I fail to see it plausible), the public opinion would still consider the Japanese military and the government responsible for such a blunder. |
Well actually, there can be an explanation for the self destruction system.
After all, if we believe Kinzo, then Rokkenjimma was a base not only for submarines, but for the special torpedo that could blow an aircraft career in one blow as well, in other words: japanese last secret weapons. Imagine that the american discover about these, Japanese would not have any chances anymore with their enemies knowing about all of their armory. And imagine if the American discover about these and decide to launch an attack on the island, the damage they could cause to the marines? And I don't think that japanese would consider their government as responsible. What you say is the same as saying that the actual government would be blamed in Germany if we found a trench full of jews bodies.
