So who was attacking whom?
Was it a failed US attempt to level Pyongyang, a few hundred kilometres off course?
Or another North Korean Test by ex-Soviet scientists for their planned drowning of Japan?

Can't you just accept that this was a natural occurance?
Tsunamis have been recorded in Japan before America was even settled by Europeans.
Pfft...

I agree with DJ.
Just an earthquake, that's all.
No conspiracy here.

Methinks just another tectonic plate shift that affects our planet every now and then. Japan just happens to be in a area notorious for quakes and
tsunamis.
I do not mean to seem rude but do you think that perhaps global warming could be a contributing factor ? Who knows what effect global warming has on
tectonic plate shifting???
I do not think anyone could fail to notice the extreme climactic alterations all over the planet and right now in Sydney it is 16 degrees Celsius
(normally at this time of year we experience minimum temps around 25)
Today in Melbourne we have snow and western NSW (there is snow and bushfires in Bathurst at the same time) Queensland is experiencing really bad wind
and rainstorms and our sotheast coast is experiencing gusty winds coming up from Antarctica. We expect a maximum temp of 24 tomorrow...go figure.
I am sorry but I think this was just another natural disaster.
In Peace Always

An earthquake, take it at face value. Japan has tremblors virtually every day. I was stationed there on active duty for five years, it's something
you got used to.

Earthquake
I'm a "conspiracy minded" person, but, I don't know, it's a sixth sense with me I guess. I can tell bs conspiracy theories from credible ones.
This one is bs.
Why?
Simple, why not set off some kind of under water explosion or, if the technology exists, create an earthquake, right off the shore of North Korea
instead of where it actually occured? Also, Pyongyang is too far inland AND is on the opposite side (western North Korea) from where the tsunami
threat was, Japan, which is on the eastern side of North Korea.

Another North korean test, lets see. right that registered as a Magnitude 4. This was a Magnitude 8. thats 10^4 times bigger, or 10,000 times
bigger. i dont remember what the test was, about 10kT? that would put this at 100MT, bigger than the biggest one that the Soviets ever tested
(60MT).
Are you afraid of Nature's power or something?

emjoi,
I wondered the same thing myself, if only for a moment.
Eventually, I realized, eh, probably not. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
People here(*) are a little harsh, but fair, so don't be off-put by the response you received.
And welcome to ATS!
(*)Guys, maybe we could be a little nicer to the newbies? We've all been there.

Nah, I wasn't put off. Perhaps a bit disappointed that people didn't want to "play the game" and add to the conspiracy, rather than saying the
obvious.
It was a deliberately stupid post on my part, but I've since learned that this place is a bit subtler than such things.
The thought crossed my mind because I used to work in a small seismology department at a University, and we'd get the Crazies phoning up now and
again telling us their earthquake predictions... folks who had poured thru statistics and come up with a Theory (a magnitude 3 quake within 2 months
in a 1000km diameter area? Well, the odds are good for that anyway), or had Dreams of volcanoes erupting in suburbia, or could Feel the Vibrations
From Space.
so, anyway.... hi.
