Gee.... might as well blame God for the entire Universe existing.

Seems appropriate to me.

Yes, I think I will celebrate, as they and all Muslims do, when bad things happen here in the US.

The problem with earthquakes of this magnitude is that they tend to set the whole planet “ringing.”

And the best way to see that 'effect' ?

If you are interested in Earthquakes at all, this little program is a must have. You see more in 5 seconds that you can spending hours going through USGS earthquake maps.

“That comment is no less than Pakistanis celebrating in the street after 9/11”

There is one difference that I see... One (the earthquake) was an act of God, the other was an act of allah.

Why am I not surprised at some of the comments here... There was time when Freepers used to make intelligent and articulate points and statements..
Not anymore. These days its all just spite and hate. When you loose empathy towards your fellow being, you stop being human.

the intelligent and articulate ones were, um, zotted.

Kinda like the kids in Hiroshima, Berlin, etc. in1945.

[cuban leaf]

But I agree with your general point.

That map is is wrong !!

Pakistan should be below or south of Afghanistan.

I’m losing my mind.

Didn’t the little crystal ball “time machine” warn them?

Sadly, the time machine was on a magic carpet trip to North Korea...

Interesting link and map. Thank you.

Did you try out EARTHQUAKE 3D ?

[brityank]

Thanks. Yes I have it, but prefer the flat presentation this gives. I can set to my system time, zoom in for clusters, select my own parameters, and get 'Street Map' for visibility.
