“The port’s container volume was 9.3 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) in calendar year 2017, a 5.5% increase over 2016’s record-breaking year of 8.8 million TEU. It’s the most cargo moved annually by a Western Hemisphere port. The port is the busiest port in the United States by container volume, the 19th-busiest container port in the world, and the 10th-busiest worldwide when combined with the neighboring Port of Long Beach. The port is also the number-one freight gateway in the United States when ranked by the value of shipments passing through it.”

Why worry? Angelenos know they’ll all be dead from global warming in 10 years anyway.

When I was in my teens everyone talked about LA falling off into the ocean. Maybe this hidden fault will bring that about.

I know the problem. I know. It must be "global warming".

IMHO, the headline, "Hidden earthquake risk found lurking beneath Los Angeles" is a bit over the top. The headline would have us to believe this is a newly discovered earthquake and that it is ominous. A little ways into the article, it says this:
"... while scientists have long known the fault is present—stretching 12.4 miles under southern Los Angeles into San Pedro Bay—it was presumed to have sat quiet for millions of years.
Turns out they've know about this fault for some time and it isn't ominous (lurking) after all.
Modern journalism sucks.

Forget the ports, movie studios, and Hollywood elite who try to rule us, it is the lives of 12 million migrant invaders and the 2020 votes they represent that is important to consider.....

But maybe it doesn’t identify as a fault. All of this undeserved microaggression regarding it’s hidden feelings could be a trigger. Isn’t that how the new science works?

...fault has moved an average of just 0.16 millimeters per year over the last 500,000 years,... Can someone throw some light on the kind of technology and instruments available that can make such measurements possible?

"...researchers worry that the Wilmington could link with other nearby faults to produce a temblor as strong as a magnitude 7.4.
I found one of the "researchers" doing the "worrying." She is so worried she can't get any sleep. None at all.

National Geographic is kind of slow to pick up on things, it seems.

Something else no one can do anything about but the reporters hope millions will start losing sleep over.
