"Michael Moore was last seen parachuting into Iran, seconds before a major quake rocked the region...devloping..."

Could be. Sounds like his lines broke. I don't think there's a material known to man that could hold that lefty lardass's weight.

Sari is 380km from Tehran

[OXENinFLA]

Thanks, and it only took three clicks.

Be careful what you wish for "RAG HEADS"

Lead parachute would work.

[F14 Pilot]

Yeah, I guess they are badly scared after that 'Bam' tragedy in last December.

[Joe Brower]

Or depleted uranium.

BREAKING--

The earthquake shook buildings in Tehran and people in the streets screamed. People in west Tehran said some windows in the city shattered.

Those second sunrises can be awful unsettling, eh?

[Frank_Discussion]

Not.... Even.... Funny....

(Well, maybe a smidgen...)

We are waiting too long to stop a bigger problem than Iraq.

[nuconvert]

I just don't think it was in the city of Sari. That's too strong for no damage there and USGS map makes it look further west of Sari, directly north of Tehran.
380km = 236 miles.
That seems too far to be breaking windows in Tehran.

[Frank_Discussion]

You may certainly be right.

[Frank_Discussion]

I just saw he maps of the nucular plants and the quake location. This could be very bad. Very, VERY bad.

[BunnySlippers]

They were going to move the capitol from Tehran because of earthquake activity. Anyone know about what kind of housing is used in Iran?

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

If I remember correctly 100 km = 60 miles. So 380 X .60 = 228 miles.

Hitting the right pew in the right church!

How about that?
