Those quakes were of a different variety....they were deep quakes over 300miles deep actually.
They are not dependent upon stress to create them, so they can actually occur at or near the previous epicenter within seconds and be of the same or great magnitude.
I guess the jury is still out on what causes them but a leading theory is heat.
