Sounds like something big is moving down there...
Yes, the third. First was outside Australia. Terrifying power these sunamis have.

No. 2 was that 8.9 "aftershock" to No. 1 SSE of Australia.
So, don't they say that when there's a big earthquake there's usually one on the opposite side of the globe? Because the closest big fault opposite this one seems to be the New Madrid..
I'm 99.999% CONVINCED this supposed Bangladeshi quake is completely bogus, non-existent.
The Bangladeshis themselves admitted they don't have an actual working seismic network.
This is either the original 8.9 earthquake mislocated with a bad magnitude, or one of the aftershocks to the 8.9 in the Andamans mislocated with a bad magnitude.
Local agencies in the Third World have a record of really badly botching earthquake info. Unfortunately this one has made it out on the wires and on to cable news crawlers and taken on a life of its own.
