Pilot error?
In 2010 there were 1,707 accidents and incidents in the US, an average of about 5 a day.

Here's an interesting week:

Yes, it could be pilot error - could be related to compasses not working - could be....

I was just keenly aware of how this was in someway another piece of this puzzle we are collectively seeking to understand as to what may be happening - our ATS experiment. And its funny, after I looked up the incidents on the map I googled airplane incidents 3/21/2011 found:

"Witnesses told The Associated Press that the plane appeared to suddenly spiral out of the sky before it plunged into a hillside." www.ocregister.com...

Ironically today is the start of Airplane Safety Week. So my google results brought up a lot of FAA stats released today.

This was my post yesterday: www.abovetopsecret.com...

Today felt calm until around 4 p.m. (CT) - since then, dizzy, disoriented, difficulty focusing, completing tasks, very agitated nervous system, for the most part my befuddled mind is calm.

I hope at the end of this experiment Jim Berkland analyzes the information shared. Great thread!

Not many pilots use a magnetic compass for navigation. Not one of the incidents or accidents seems to have anything to do with navigational problems.

ok i know this is lame but she just tweeted this:

Nicky Hilton Who felt the earthquake in LA a few minutes ago?

Is the location, frequency and magnitude of these quakes over the last eight day period normal?

Close, but no seismic cigar:

Darn.
Wrong ocean.

Yeah, thats for all the New Madrid Fault Zone watcher's. But it is also a major ridge and in actuality they are all related, the slipping of this ridge could shift on the new madrid ridge, a major shift on the new madrid ridge could eventually shift on the cascadia zone. The southern mid alantic ridge also connects to the bottom ridge of the ring of fire, whatever that one is called.

Yawn, this should already be in the skunk works or something given Phage's data which proves that this is not a "prediction" at all, and theres an overwhelming chance of at least one earthquake meeting the broad criteria stated in the OP to happen during ANY 7 day period since 1973... Theres 8-9 such quakes meeting the criteria in the "prediction" per month which means theres an average of 2 a week for the last 48 years so how is it even a "prediction"? Itd probably be more of a prediction to claim NO such earthquakes meeting that criteria will happen
Same as me predicting rain on the east coast within the next week wouldn't qualify as a real "prediction".

Hi everyone, first time poster but long time browser of ATS.

The numerous predictions around a devastating quake this week have me very uneasy to say the least. I live in western washington near seattle, so hearing the possibility of such a thing is enough to keep me up tonight.

Browsing the Predictions forum does tend to leave one a little paranoid.

But if it's affecting you to the point that you're losing your sleep, I suggest you try and tell yourself that NO ONE can accurately predict the future and also to stay away from the Predictions sub-forum (or from ATS altogether) for a few days.

Hello, thanks for your input.

The problem here is that the "prediction" made by the geologist is for the window between March 19th through March 26th. We also have an experiment going on where data is being collected on the sensitivity of animals and humans prior to a seismic event.

So regardless of how any of us may feel about the 'prediction' (or the experiment for that matter) is a moot point. It will continue till the end of the window, then the data collected will be examined and scrutinized over, BTW, Phages' posts and data isn't being excluded either as he is presenting what one might call the academic side of popularly known and/or published knowledge.

This experiment falls into more of a 'gray area' as it mixes some general sciences and perhaps what some might even call a fringe belief that some events, (that others might label as a coincidence or just a normal event occurrence), may actually be a "indicator" or "pointer" of things to come or happen. That is what were trying to investigate and it doesn't really matter what I think or feel about such thoughts and beliefs, I have to go where the data takes me, whether I agree with it or not.

But I can understand your frustration, so try gritting your teeth and bear with us until we complete the task at hand.

To those that are fearful by some of the predictions they may read on ATS

I think it should be noted that thruout history there has probably been many, many, many predictions of "doom and gloom" that never came to pass. ATS does not encourage, endorse, or back any prediction made here on the website (or elsewhere for that matter). Information provided and/or posted on the website is wholly the responsibility of the poster's, and they must accept that fact. How you choose to use that information is solely 'your responsibility'.

If you were to read that everyone was buying rubber rafts because a global flood had been predicted after the "Aliens" had made an "UnHoly" alliance with "Satan" to resurrect "Saddam Huesien" to lead a New World War to be fought on the Oceans.... and for your 'peace of mind' you now felt that you should be prepared also so you go out and purchase a raft too, well that's still your decision.

The point being, should we be prepared for any disaster, absolutely...! (This includes fire, home intrusion, floods, earthquakes, etc.) Should we get stressed out quit our job, pack up the family and move to Antarctica based on a rumor or prediction... errr... Probably Not..! Take whatever you read and hear with a grain of salt, being prepared is always a good idea, losing ones sleep over something is not a good idea.

I live in California (near the San Andreas Fault line), and I try to be prepared for any disaster (natural or other). This includes knowing a 'escape route' for my home, knowing what roads are available in case of over congestion by the panicked, having at least a 3-5 day supply of food and water, having extra batteries and other devices easily available in case the electricity goes out and on and on. All I can do is try and prepare for an event, this does not mean that I am going to lose any sleep over it. No matter where I lived on Earth, there would be "something" that might happen, the best we can do is plan for what to do "if" an event happens.

There are some excellent websites that will assist you in what is considered the "norm" for preparing for any emergency, and perhaps that might be a good first line of defense, to familiarize yourself with what is recommended for a home-dweller (if one is so inclined).

That reminds me, for data correlation purposes, that light vertigo I mentioned earlier was on/off for 3 days, peaking on the day of the Perigeal Full Moon, & hasn't returned since then. Although I've almost always had an "energy buzz" during a full or new Moon, I can't assume a definite correlation, due to my age (63), & my borderline high blood pressure. The latter condition hasn't caused me any dizziness prior to this, but I want to give you as detailed a data sample as possible.

This is probably completed unrelated..

My ears just started ringing and I have a bit of dizziness.. So I'm going to look to see if there's any new data with earthquakes in the area..

I've been feeling a bit of dizziness as well for the last couple of hours...Southern California
