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

UPDATE. I got answers !

Seems people are not noticing the 8.6 mb is not Richter scale. It is an updated specialized scale measuring more detailed information.

Here is a link that explains it.

Richter scale has the letters ML
Mb are for waves in great depths.

So a 8.6 yes it was, just not in or Richter scale we are used to.

The more sophisticated scales now used take into account differences in the types of waves generated by earthquakes; Mb magnitudes reflect waves that have traveled through great depths, and MS magnitudes, waves that travel along the surface (the symbol for magnitudes on Richter’s scale is ML). The new scales (including many used only in a particular area) have been defined so that their values are consistent with those of the original scale, and these too are popularly called magnitudes “on the Richter scale.”

Uh oh looks like they turned on HAARP again on the same day the prez addresses the nation, looks like they wanted to send a message to China!

8.6MAG earthquake reported in #Sichuan China some reports that it may be a monitoring malfunction

Sorry no source but I saw this on another forum and I think the guy just forgot to add the source... but I think it's correct.

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.

I hope you realise that story is from Spoof News.

You will find the original here, and underneath it:

Has anyone got an answer to this yet? I've asked some in China on Twitter if they know anything. Will post response when I get one.

Chuck Norris broke a cable on his "Total Gym" fitness machine and punched Christie Brinkely so hard that the chinese person that packaged the bowl of lo mein she was eating at the time exploded.

just want to quote this so it doesn't get lost in the amount of BS posts that followed it...

that is very interesting, could the waves it measured in fact be...scalar?

So does that mean that it was an 8.6 but that it was at some incredible depth?
I don't understand the difference, if they are both measured on the same scale.

I'm guessing that means it was the same force, but at a much greater depth. Meaning that the results on the surface weren't nearly as noticeable.

Ok soo break it down, an 8.6 on our scale would equal what on the other?

Hello,
I live and work in Sth.China and have heard no reports at all regarding this matter. It is 11:55 A.M. here now, I start work at 14:00 and will give you an update at around 19:00 this evening, but at this stage all seems to be well and in order, normal land and air traffic, standard emergency services traffic, everyone is simply going about their business, as I do have an interest in this situation I hope it remains so.

Also, this is my first contact with you all, I have been in the background for a month or so, sorry I have not introduced myself prior.

The green marker denotes Starbucks. I can't even get a pity lol out of that? c'mon peeps that's top shelf humor there. MaybeI should have said it denotes sweatshop? Anyone? Pity lol for ol HonLi? Anyone?

This coupled with the fact that I just got new debit card from my bank and the expiration date is 12/12..... I'm taking 2 more Klonopins and getting back in sensory deprivation tank, and when I get out I want answers damnit. Get on it peeps!

I chuckled at Starbucks, I laughed at Chuck Norris, Dali gave me a smirk. I do what I can...

Hallo Jarrah, welcome to ats.
Thanks for your input, much appreciated.
Would be great if you could stick around and deny ignorance on china related topics for us

If it is true, it will take quite a bit of time for any commercialised media to grab ahold.

I don't think it would take the MSM long at all to be covering a HUGE earthquake in China.


Didn't happen.

Well something happened . We called USGS - they got nothing but check this chart. aslwww.cr.usgs.gov...

why does it need to be ours or your scale. I have just added what I think might happen. Please just let this be an opinion discussion because chances are we will not know for sure. Lets all remember that anything is possible

Continueing

I really have no idea to be honest, ok maybe putting EQ for the title was something I should have rethought but regardless SOMETHING caused the sensor to go to 8.6 and get put on the web , that is a fact because it showed up on the website. It is possible that it could have been a different type of wave that the particular scale picked up. Maybe a different frequency that could be controlled. Maybe THIS is why all the other little quakes have been going off...

WOW hot damn that looks like something, I wonder when it will be possible to get what comes after that!

I noticed that a very fine line of tremors on the lines of

19:00
20:00

go right through the middle which looks like it will continue pretty evenly through the "wave"? After a little activity from 19:00 early. Not sure if this could mean anything but lets examine the funk out of this thing!

I personally hope JARRAH is right and nothing happened. I don't want to see any more people hurt or killed by earthquakes or anything else.
