   No, the atomic bombs and later nuclear tests were, your example is of   
   natural sources only.

   Sorry bub, the example you mention was in 1883.  There was no global   
   epidemic during the time of its global effects.

   History, including archaeology does not support this claim.  Most do not   
   explode as described; and when they do it has local effects for a short   
   time only.   
      
   Sorry bub, it is easy to invent fanciable stories, then the real science   
   and history begin.  Your's is dead in the water based on its own inner   
   conflicts of fact.
