Of course, the earth, sun, and moon are aligned twice a month, every month, and Saturn joins the alignment twice a year, every year.

The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake was an undersea earthquake that occurred at 00:58:53 UTC (07:58:53 local time) on December 26, 2004.

Full Moon on 26 December 2004 at 10:06 a.m. Eastern Standard Time (16:06 UTC).

Thus, while the quake happened the same "day" as the full moon, it was off by 16 hours (9 orbital degrees).

The opposition of Saturn was January 14, off by 19 days (19 orbital degrees.)

This is the scientific equivalent of seeing the Virgin in a cheese sandwich.

I'd like to ask the guy why the heck the quake did not happen when the closer and more massive Jupiter was at opposition last April?

Even if the Earth, Sun, Moon, and Saturn were "perfectly" lined up, they would not be in the same plane. The odds of all four being in opposition at the same time they are in the plane of the ecliptic is enormous.
