2 Earthquakes hit South Korea - Largest ever recorded

Forgive me if there's a thread about this one already, didn't found any...

Two strong earthquakes jolted an historic city in southeastern South Korea on Monday, but there were no reports of serious injuries or damage, officials said.

The Korea Meteorological Administration said the quakes measured magnitude 5.1 and 5.8 and were centered near Gyeongju city. It said the magnitude-5.8 quake was the largest ever recorded in South Korea.

Local television showed children hiding under a dinner table and goods falling off the shelves at a supermarket.

Officials said two people received minor injuries, but gave no further details. The Yonhap news agency said minor cracks appeared in some buildings, but no major damage was reported.

The quakes shook large areas of the country, including the capital, Seoul, where tall buildings swayed.

South Korea experiences relatively little seismic activity, unlike neighboring Japan, which has frequent major quakes.

Gyeongju was the capital of one of the Korean Peninsula's ancient kingdoms and is now a popular tourist destination.

So, what's going on with all these Earthquakes on this last semester? Anyone instructed to give me an answear?

Could it be due to the natural geological movements being disrupted because we have been fracking and bleeding the deep earth dry of fossil fuels, which previously assisted with geological motion?

Without fossil fuels, there is less lubrication and more earthquakes? Just an idea.

Er, nothing?

There are always earthquakes. Hundreds every day around the world. Not been any big ones lately but I am sure one will hit somewhere soon.

Hey, Fam!

Thanks for replying... It sure makes sense! Just want to know where this "revenge" of Earth will take us...

North Korea's latest nuke test might have made the area more unstable.

HAARP was aimed at N Korea, its an inexact science (cough cough, weapon)

planetary misalingment, Nostradamus? we'll soon know....

a reply to: vinifalou

This could have something to do with the Nuclear tests North Korea just did. Shaking up the whole region.

Hey, Andy!

Yes, there were always earthquakes, but they're increasing numbers on the past few years, as you can see on this image:

I have seen a more updated one here in ATS somewhere, but can't find it now :/

HAARP? The same one that the University of Alaska runs?

O it wasn't a nuke test at all.

How about those radiation reports? Anybody see those? Or was it just propagating lies on both sides?

One would think, but Gyeongju is nowhere near the border.

That's the old HARP that everyone knows about.

The secret one is located....... Well it's a secret.

Edit - with regards to the earthquakes taking place, it comes soon after North Korea's Nuclear tests, so some people would correlate them to this.

a reply to: vinifalou

Not really.
It's just that the more technology we develope to detect earth quakes the more we can track.

a reply to: intrptr

There is no radiation if it explodes underground.

a reply to: vinifalou

Most probably haarp because of North Korea nuclear tests. But since haarp is in beta testing so they miss for few miles.

Eventually it comes to the surface. Usually within a few days. Heat rises. Gasses escape.

Sorry about that.

Edit: Again, have you seen the reports?

Constant Phoenix

I got all walked on the other day because everyone is sure it was nuke testing, I just wanted to see the results of radiation detection.

Now theres two more quakes in the region.

crickets...

Proof that N Korea has dug a huge tunnel directly under S Korea to do all of their nuke testing, in an attempt to make it look like S Korea is the bad guys playing with bombs.

Very smart strategy, chubby boy...

If it were related to nuke testing, where are the predictions???

a reply to: FamCore

I agree with you, but ive almost stated what you have word for word in a geo thread some time ago and got a grilling from some on here. Apparently thats not how it works

There could be an increase in Earthquakes because the globe is warming. Obama says that Global Warming is the most serious emergency of our time. It's swelling and crackling like a loaf of bread in the oven.
