Magnitude 6.0 Off the East Coast of Honshu,Japan...Is Japan Becoming Old News?

6.0-magnitude earthquake strikes off east coast of Honshu, Japan, less than 2 hours after 5.8 shaker

I figured it was starting to slow down because its been a few days since I have seen a post about any happening...So heres another one for the books..It seems to me that all these quakes are becoming old news to some. Any quakes are news to me...LINK TO DETAILS

This one is one of the shallowest I've seen so far, at 3.7km.

Could this be evidence of magma coming close to the surface? Why would it be so shallow compared to the others? Anyone with some deep geology/seismology knowledge that has any ideas?

Well, this coincides with the warning threads.

interesting and scary!

i don't think, imo, that magma is involve (not yet) maybe it's just ''one of those'', it might be the first shallow one and the last (we'll have to wait for those data) but if it keeps on getting that close to the surface, it might be energy rising from all of the EQ and aftershocks since that sad day...patience is needed right now

On this eq map is says elevation: -27000m on the 6.0.
And -3700 on the 5.8 shake.

And is all that activity in Europe and Turkey of lately normal?
I know they are relatively small, but there's quiet a few of them the last few days...

And maybe Secretary of Defense Cohen was right?

Is Japan under attack?

Has anyone heard if there is a Tsunami alert?
I haven't seen anything myself.
