Wow, this place is becoming very active.....I hope this is not the precursor to something much bigger.

MODS can you move this into the breaking alternative news forum?

Wow a few hours after the Olympic Torch passed through now thats an entrance. The article also states

There had been 22,019 aftershocks detected since then -- including three in the past four days before the last incidence.

Since the 7.9 earthquake in May. Is that normal? I know that it is normal to have aftershocks etc but to have that many? Seems like the 7.9 wasnt the big daddy only the warm up to a bigger one that has yet to come.

John Titors reputation is riding on this......if anything was to stop the Olympics now, i would think it would have to be something like a natural disaster

I was going to add this to breaking news forum...but could only find Breaking Alternative News - is this the correct section?
