Experts: L.A. Quake Fault "Capable of Massive Temblor"
KTLA News ^ | March 18, 2010

Posted on 03/18/2010 11:11:48 AM PDT by Touch Not the Cat

The moderate earthquake that struck the Los Angeles area Tuesday likely occurred a long a fault that could generate a much stronger, major quake in the future, according to scientists.

Seismologists say the Puente Hills thrust system could touch off earthquakes up to magnitude 7.5 directly underneath downtown Los Angeles. Such temblors would prove larger than any in the modern history of the Los Angeles Basin.

The Puente Hills fault, which winds through the area's fractured underbelly for about 25 miles -- from northern Orange County to Beverly Hills -- has generated at least four earthquakes ranging from magnitude 7.2 to 7.5 in the last 11,000 years, according to a study published in the journal Science.

"The bad news," the report said, "is that when the Puente Hills thrust fault ruptures in an earthquake, it tends to do so in a very big way."

Tuesday's magnitude-4.4 quake struck at 4:04 a.m. and was centered 1 mile east-northeast of Pico Rivera, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

There were no reports of serious damage or injuries.

Residents as far away as San Diego and Santa Clarita reported feeling the quake, which consisted of some rumbling and a quick jolt.

Seismologists have not determined which fault was responsible for Tuesday's shaker, however, Daniel Ponti of the U.S. Geological Survey told the Whittier Daily News that it was likely on the Puente Hills thrust system.

Interesting stuff. I find it equally interesting these were NZ’ers and Aussies conducting the study.

I will have to look further into their work.

I never saw this before came across it while doing some research on volcanic vs tectonic quake signatures...lol

It's the seismograph recording of 9/11 from the Palisades Monitoring station. Incredible.

Thanks for your kind replies.

Are the collapses more consistent with falling buildings

or explosions and falling buildings?

Singlular P/waves would suggest that the building collapse is the only thing captured on the graph.

I never understood that truther stuff. I watched their videos, they intentionally leave out critical information. Some even go as far to say it wasn't even planes that hit the buildings. Al Quada even had the last wills and testaments of many of the attackers speaking in English to us. yet people buy this stuff.

people buy the global warming theory while we are technically still in an Ice age. And our schools push what they call 'critical thinking', which means to question everything. It is a joke, so many people that can think for themselves.

It’s a very unpleasant topic I hate even reading anything about.

However I’m convinced of the following:

1. Watching CNN from before it began sitting in Taipei FREEPING with CNN in the background across the living room, when I saw the buildings come down in real time, I was convinced then and I am now—it involved demolition that had to be prepared ahead of time.

2. The globalists would not hesitate to set such up and carry it off—whether they micromanaged it beginning to end—as I suspect—or set it up and let it run.

3. It was a text book case of globalists’

A) methods
B) goals
C) strategies
D) preferences
E) !!!!CONTROL!!!!
etc.

4. No way did building 7 fall from the planes, fires etc. No way.

5. Far too many people have put their lives at risk—high ranking first responders and others . . . throwing out very significant flags on the play for there to be 0.00% fire under all the smoke.

6. A worse ‘False Flag’ of greater proportions and mass deaths has to be in the works. Has to be. I just don’t know when it will be sprun. Many folks and sources are saying the same thing. Some say it will be before Israel strikes Iran as an encouragement/justification as 9/11 was for Iraq.

7. OKC bombing years earlier was also riddled with black ops stuff all over it. No way did a fertilizer bomb do all that damage. The amount of fertilizer explosive asserted to have been involved would not have fit in that truck.

8. Read the quotes of the ruthless ones from 1900 on:

It’s interesting, folks are rightly skeptical about believing the MSM on global warming . . .

yet follow the party line propaganda and disinformation from the same MSM sources on 9/11 hook line and sinker.

You know you can get banned from this site even talking about this stuff.

points made:
1. Yeah the buildings fell similar to a demolition. There isn’t many ways a building can fall when forces of gravity are pushing down on it. It wasn’t going to fall over like a tree.

2 & 3 Globalist want change to move slowly towards a socialist ideology. Though they were able to muster more control of the people they are also forced into wars that do them no good.

4. building 7 had two 20,000 gallon fuel tanks under it (both full) There is a photo showing a massive fire under building 7 before it went down.. It went down just exactly like any building would with all I-beams being heated up nearly equally from the fire.

5. what is a 0% fire?

6. I don’t know what to make of that statement. What purpose did we have to go too Iraq we gained nothing from it other then to stop a tyrant.

7. I agree with you on the fertilizer bomb couldn’t have taken down the building. It was an FBI building and they are known to store ordnances very poorly.

8. yes, there are many forces that want control over the world (Islam is one of them BTW.) Which some organizations already have control. The question is what is the best system for them to profit the most from? Fortunately for us that has a lot to do with capitalism. If we were more like Chickens then yes most of us would be in our little cages hatching eggs. This was the concept of eugenics that Hitler and Stalin pushed.

I will give you one point with regards to 9/11. The globalist don't want a good crisis goto waste. They were able to add in more controls over our lives.

Steve, it's a psychological process, a jedi mind trick if you will. Incorporated by those not able to comprehend an event that was not only dramatic and traumatic but beyond their own ability not to control the situation.

Sad it is when this type of expression is then turned around and manipulated.

I don’t

KNOW

much about it.

I know there’s a lot that stinks about it.

The physics is all there. The physics doesn’t stink.

what stink are people exploiting emotions for profit.


there were times in our history when the physics did stink.
like you pointed out the OKC bombing, Kennedy assassination and others but not this time.

I would like to think you’re 100% correct.

It’s a complies pile of puzzle piece, imho.

A pile I’d just as soon not sort through very deeply.

There are plenty of well trained experts on all sides.
