Mag 8.6 earthquake in China?--2010-27-01

this is crazy. is there anyway to track or monitor HAARP activity? I would just love to see how active the HAARP was at the time of this quake.

if you know of a link please post or u2u me.

It's gone... poof! Check it out...

EMSC - Nothing about China here...

ATS Exec flies to China, kicks seismograph to see if members paying attention.

two best (or funniest) reasons ive heard.

Must be this.

Dalai Lama threatens China with similar earthquake as Haiti!
The Dalai Lama claims the massive earthquake that hit Haiti might just hit China next. Citing recent 'bad karma' over the suppression of Tibet's population, the Delai Lama said he would pray for the victims in Haiti, but hates the Chinese leadership for years of brutal supression. He took credit for the creation of the 'The Great Dalai Lama Jump' that would spark the next China earthquake.
"If everyone in Tibet jumped up and landed at an exact moment, it would cause the Earth to tremble!" Said the Tibetan Minister of Movement, decribing the 'Great Jump' that could be performed by 100% of the Tibetan population.

Hate to burst your bubble but there's just no way. This earthquake would have been picked up by seismographs all over the world, and you'd see very dramatic traces on publicly available webicorders. I don't see any indication that anything like this could have happened today.


Also, it's not like earthquakes only happen to people in one spot. This would have been felt in distant cities and reported when it happened. I was monitoring earthquake tweets on Twitter when the big one happened in Haiti, and many many people in Jamaica reported an earthquake. It's not the kind of thing you could keep quiet.

You are right; the two events are very similar.

They can both be caused by a reaction to the injection of hot fluids, generally causing tremblers and rhythmic shaking.

They are both preceded by observable physical disturbances.

Animals frequently flee when an earthquake is imminent. Many men, surprised by the prospect of child-birth, display similar behaviour.

There are groups of conspiracy theorists who believe that childbirths are being artificially induced.

Although it's the quake/birth that grabs the spotlight of media attention, the real tragedy is what comes later. Cleaning up the messes, surviving the financial loss, trying to provide food and housing, night after night without sleep as the victims of this disaster struggle to cope with the results ...

Our commiserations should go out to all those affected by such events.

Made me giggle a lil bit haha

2nd line.. and still laughing a bit.

Ok ATS, let's be serious, no one is going to hide an earthquake.

I'm going to post some pictures, and then everyone can come back down to earth. cool?



This image is of a mag 1.9 earthquake.
keep in mind that colours are of no significance, and are just marking quarter hours.




This image is of a mag 3.1 earthquake.
I believe I read a post around page 3 or 4 stating that this is a mag 8 or 9. Someone politely silence this poster.




This is a mag 4.0 earthquake.
If the above mentioned poster had seen this earthquake, he would have 5h!T his pants. But it's barely anything to be concerned about.




This one is moderately serious, but it didn't happen too close to civilization.




This one is of CHINA, Tibet area. this is like a 2 or something. (mag)




Again from china!

I dont understand though, why would the Chinese government or anybody like that want to keep this a secret ?

What does this achieve/who gains by keeping this a secret ?

The short answer is, Adam, that the Chinese government would not be able to hide a massive 'quake like this from the world. There are a myriad of seismographs around the world, and most of them report immediately. Occasionally, after conferring with their respective readings, the epicenter/magnitude is adjusted, but the initial event could not be "hidden".

I think Blake (see above) has listed the likely events that might've caused the OP report. I think this is a nonevent or data error. Haiti has just had a 4.1 aftershock.......... Java, Alaska, Japan, Yellowstone.

this next image is a mag 7.7. Also the kind of stuff you would panic about if it came around your city!




your welcome,

awmilton

p.s. in my above post i mentioned an EQ as a mag2, I totally meant to hit 1.

THEY CAN ALSO MAKE THINGS LEVITATE WITH THEIR VOICEBOX

it is a pity people are so short-memory.....

in 2008 in Sichuan a "merely" 8.0 Earthquake occured in around the same area the claim is stating that a 8.6 biggie hit, it is really a waste of time for me to refresh those short-memory peeps of how all over China everyone felt the trembles, continues after-quakes in the epicentre and nearby provinces, and what the deathtoll was and is still ongoing..... *sigh, talking about "denial of ignorance", makes me wonder when I really should leave this site for good.....

ps. someone who claimed that the Dalai Lama (who claims to be a human lover) has cursed China with another quake killing hundreds of thousands and affecting millions innocents, just so ridiculous and provide the sources for it.

The quake is not on USGS Asia region, but the 6.1 in the Philippines is.

earthquake.usgs.gov...

Well, i find this,and i find it questioning
from numbers on a page 1 post put into google maps
It shows this green marker very close to the location i had entered
Any idea what this marker represents???

data: 31.5311N 108.9173E





i would have just put the google map URL but the marker doesn't show up that way

The green marker denotes a starbucks.

Not surprising at all that there would be a complete media blackout on this, despite how serious it is. I have a feeling about this one, its strange. I knew more was coming, as it is only expected for the new decade. I had a strange feeling as 2009 became 2010, and the anticipation is just killing me, with only 10 minutes left until the state of the union address.
What shocks me is the sudden frequency of seismic events around the world, and this is just scary. It would be hell if that # happened here. I am deeply afraid of how people would conduct themselves in times as trying as a natural disaster.

Phew, 7 minutes left. Nervous.

I done the same on google earth mate, that very spot is the epicentre according (totally forget which earthquake measuring site thingy.....



As someone said earlier in this thread (pardon me, I forget who you were, has a hot avatar) it may be nuke testing.

Pure speculation though, but it would explain why the reading is still on a lot of quake sites yet there has been no word of it elsewhere.

Japan had a 4.2 earthquake today.
And Turkey has lots of activity.
I don't see anything in China on the map except a bird pandemic.

And your point is.....

Obama's SOTU speech has what to do with a possible earthquake in China?

Yeah I believe this was a instrument malfunction.

That is why we have multiple stations to Confirm these things.

No confirmation. No quake.

Someone knocked the seismograph over...
