Talk:Ground zero

message: Now that there's an article for The Pile, could most of the WTC stuff be moved there? -- Tarquin
:Ground Zero denots a explosionplace of a bomb or of a raket above the ground. Since september the 11th 2001 denots the concept for the destroyed World Trade Center in new York (Ground Zero New York)
:Ground Zero is the point of the world with the serious Damager of a bombexplosion.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.68.182.226 (talk) 14:38, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Broken link

message: I agree that this page could use some disambiguation. The definition of the term (its first use at the Trinity site) should remain central, I think. There are currently 10 other uses, not counting external links. There are two uses that clearly should be separated out: its use for Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and its use for the September 11th, 2001 attacks. The page should be disambiguated accordingly. Any thoughts on this?
:I've split the other uses section into a new disambiguation article, so it's a little better now. -- Bovineone 04:59, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  merge proposal 

message: I have updated the first paragraph to remove the contrdiction of the definitions of hypocenter and epicenter.  I believe that 'ground zero' should refer to the point on the ground nearest to the explosion.  In that case, ground zero is the same as the epicenter of earthquakes and the hypocenter of above-ground explosions. Astronaut 18:58, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems pretty obvious to me that the point of greatest destruction would be closest to the nuclear blast, so perhaps you would like to explain first why you believe that is not so. Astronaut (talk) 21:40, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  First Paragraph 

message: In the short list of cities affected, the presence of the state names left me with the confusing impression three whole states had been affected.  Although it is common practice in the US to add the state, I don't think it is necessary to do this here; after all when I see "New Orleans" and "Katrina" I know we are talking about New Orleans, Louisiana.  Astronaut 19:05, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Last Paragraph (Katrina) 

message: I have suggested this merger because the two terms appear to have the same (or very similar) meanings.  There is a lot of overlap in the content of the two articles, and the topic would best be served with only one article.  Ground zero is the more commonly used phrase, so hypocenter should be merged into it.  —gorgan_almighty 12:57, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that the two terms are (presently) used interchangeably, however this does not make it right. The term Hypocentre is (correct me if I'm wrong) also a mathematical/geometrical concept as well, so really the term is not limited to ground zero applications. I would prefer to keep them seperated until there is further discussion on this.--Read-write-services 22:53, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I found a use of "Ground Zero" on CBS News at 7:47 p.m. on September 11, and have added it to the article. The reporter said, "…as it's being described", suggesting that there may be even earlier uses on television coverage that day. I welcome anyone else to browse through the coverage of the day's events at Internet Archive's September 11 Television Archive, for an earlier use of the term. — Walloon (talk) 16:27, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I agree.  Unfortunately, the expression "ground zero" has been used increasingly by the press as a generic phrase for the centre of a great calamity.  I will try to find something I can cite.  Astronaut (talk) 10:23, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

message: I read somewhere that they have renamed this since 9/11 and it is now the "central courtyard cafe" or something. can anyone confirm? --199.86.17.78 (talk) 20:45, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: When I was researching the Ground Zero Cafe image last year (the image has since been re-uploaded into commons), the caption said "... will be torn down in the coming months."  I am not a regular visitor to the Pentagon, so cannot confirm (or deny :-)) that the cafe was demolished, replaced, refurbished, or renamed.  Astronaut (talk) 15:30, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Ground Zero Cafe

message: This recent edit introduced a series of statements about legal justification/authorization for the use of the term Ground Zero.  I find this very confusing and is quite probably unnecessary, particularly as no references are supplied to support the assertion that legal justification/authorization is necessary or even important to understanding of the topic.  Astronaut (talk) 23:14, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Justification? 

message: This reference to an interview on Fox News, claims it was first shown at approx 11:55 am on September 11, 2001.  However, the only thing I have to go on is the text on that YouTube page.  The video on this archive seems to be from a different Fox affiliate so I cannot confirm the time there.  While I'm happy to believe the stated time for the moment, I would rather we had a more reliable source for the time than the upload comments of a YouTube user.  Can anyone identify the Fox affiliate for me?  Astronaut (talk) 15:24, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
