Oh, brother ... I don't have time to check the USGS tonight, but if the Europeans are reporting the 8.4 earthquake, it most likely occurred. Keep us posted. If the USGS isn't reporting the event, something ugly is afoot.

[KingRobbStark]

Earthquake? More like a couple of thousand of rockets.

[libertyjam]

I'm thinking a small tactical nuke, though if I interpret the data right, epicenter was about 30km underground.

[hillbilly123069]

There were a series a quakes throughout that part of the planet, today.

Repost.

Lot of "Acts of God" hitting mankind lately. Japan quake/nuke meltdowns that killed large number of civilians, US tornadoes that hit south/bible belt and killed around 400 civilians and now this libya coast quake that could also harm some civilians. Strange times even if not "end times" as some prophecy crowd proclaims.


Update from google. It was 5.9 that harmed two people.

5.9-magnitude quake hits northwest Turkey: one dead

(AFP) – 7 hours ago

ANKARA — An earthquake measuring 5.9 on the Richter scale hit northwest Turkey late Thursday, killing one person and causing material damage, local governor Kenan Ciftci told news channel NTV.

Libya stuff could be more like acts of NATO and not acts of God, not clear how many people it harmed:

Nato hits eight Libyan warships

Sofia Echo - ‎33 minutes ago‎
NATO says it hit eight warships used by forces loyal to Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi in a series of airstrikes that started late Thursday. A NATO statement says the vessels that were targeted were in the ports of Tripoli, Sirte and Al Khums. ...

[cindy25]

maybe the quake caused minimal damage.

[galantarie]

On Friday, NATO also struck a facility near the capital Friday and a command and control hub near Sebha, a Gadhafi stronghold deep in Libya’s southwestern desert, a NATO statement said in Brussels. Unfortunately, the NATO forces/ & the USA alligned to use a BUNKER-BUSTER NUKE, 200 miles s-west of Tripoli, where they believed that Moammar Gadhafi and some members of the congressional committees (with their families) were believed to be hiding out since the intensified bombings of Tripoli by NATO.

Now that actually wouldn't surprise me with the war powers act running out for Obama.

Were there registered earthquakes in Iraq/Afghanistan when they first used the bunker busters?

8.4 mag quakes
are not easy to hide.
interesting theory.
bunker buster.

Hell of a bunker buster :rolleyes:


Interestingly, the largest nuclear device ever detonated, the 50 megaton Soviet-made Tsar Bomba, would have been capable of producing almost exactly an 8.4 earthquake on the Richter Scale if it had been detonated deep underground.

CAMERON said on Monday, Memorial Day, that they were going to deploy more HUGE nuke (uranium) tipped BUNKER-BUSTERS in force against Tripoli and other TARGETS IN LIBYA. THESE ARE REALLY ATOM-BOMBS which explode below ground! What do they think they are "playing" with?? (They used one a week or so ago near the EXXON complex, in the NW of Libya---and it registered as an 8.4 earthquake!)

[galantarie]

NOT A THEORY---proven, and even admitted to by Cameron last Sunday! He is loading-up on more huge bunker-busters to drop by NATO onto Libya. He does not care what these nuclear devises can do. He only wants to kill the Gadhafi family members. The AXIS is totally mad.

(QUOTE by Prof. Michel Chossudovsky): Shortly after the commencement of the Libya bombing campaign on March 19, the Pentagon ordered the testing of the B61-11 nuclear bomb. These tests announced in an April 4 press release, pertained to the installed equipment and weapon’s components. The objective was to verify the functionality of the nuclear bomb…..

The B-2 Spirit Stealth bomber is the “chosen carrier” of the B61 -11 nuclear bombs. The B-2 Spirit Stealth bomber out of Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri was not only sent on a mission to bomb Libya at the very outset of the air campaign, it was subsequently used in the testing of the B61 Mod 11 nuclear bomb.

The B61-11 has a yield of two thirds of a Hiroshima bomb. Why were these tests of the equipment and functionality of a tactical nuclear weapon scheduled shortly after the onset of the Libya bombing campaign?

Why now?

Is the timing of these tests coincidental or are they in any way related to the chronology of the Libya bombing campaign?

U.S. Air Force Global Strike Command, which is responsible for the coordination of US bombing operations directed against Libya was also involved in the testing of the B61-11 nuclear bombs.

Both the bombing of Libya by the B-2 Spirit Stealth bomber (see image above) on March 19-20, as well as the testing of the functionality of the B61-11 nuclar bomb (announced April 4) were implemented out of the same US Air Force base in Missouri.

Sunday, May 29, 2011Britain To Use Bunker-Busters Against Gadhafi
There apparently is more than a degree of psychological warfare at play in NATO's stepped up air campaign over Libya.

Britain is not stopping at deploying Apache helicopter gunships -- now London is letting it be known that it is preparing to include 2,000-pound bunker-busters in its arsenal against Moammar Gadhafi.

The Paveway bombs have already been moved to Gioia del Colle in Italy, where RAF Tornado and Typhoon jets are based, The Guardian of London reported. The Paveways are expected to be used to crash through the bunkers beneath Gadhafi's Bab al-Azizia compound in Tripoli, among other underground targets....

"Gadhafi may not be capable of listening but those around him would be wise to do so," Fox said

QUOTE: "When the nuclear warhead bunker-buster missile is shot against the sea-bottom, it can trigger the heaviest earthquakes.
News Source on May 29, 2011

The Guardian reports:

Britain has ratcheted up the pressure on Colonel Muammar Gaddafi by preparing to load heavy “bunker buster” bombs on RAF jets ready to attack his compounds in and around Tripoli.

Paveway bombs, weighing 2,000lbs, the largest in the RAF’s arsenal, have been dispatched to Gioia del Colle in southern Italy where RAF Tornado and Typhoon jets are based. While the Apache’s cannon and Hellfire missiles are used against small or moving targets, the Paveway bombs are expected to be used against bunkers underneath the Gaddafi regime’s Bab al-Azizia compound in Tripoli and elsewhere.

The MoD said on Sunday the enhanced Paveway III bombs, are designed “to punch through the roof or wall of a hardened building”.

DANKE, o yes they are. You Better look things up! I saw your other posts. You seem to be infavor of the War; and do not really care what happens!
AFTERMATH:
an anomalous structure: the sample’s surface includes alluminium and iron silicates, normal elements in a soil fragment. Yet, looking inside, estremely small bubbles can be found with high concentration of iron. Further testing will clarify the origin of these structures: what seems to be certain at the moment is that they are not caused by a natural process.
What kind of weapon is this? What weapon leaves traces of radiation and produces such lethal and circumscribed consequences?
Researcher Dai Williams believes this is a new class of weapons using enriched uranium, not through fission processes but through new physical processes kept secret for at least 20 years.
Physicist Emilio del Giudice from the The Institute of Nuclear Phisics explains the enriched uranium: 1) this material is present in the structure of the bombs.
One should explain the rationale of the use of a material which is both expensive and dangerous , because of its enhanced radioactivity, to people handling it, including military personnel. There is a pdf on these weapons as well.

oh really? link? Turn back to p. 2---meanwhile I am looking for the pdf. It is past my bedtime here. I do not live in the USA. If I cannot find the pdf tonight, I will post it tomorrow...BUT BELIEVE ME THESE BUNKER BUSTERS ARE NUCLEAR TIPPED WITH DEPLETED URANIUM..and they have been used throughout the Middle East already by the USA/NATO. These weapons are nothing to be sarcastic about. They are amongst the worst; and their effects cannot be erradicated for millions of years. They cause severe burns and genetic disorders and birth defects. The soil becomes permenently contaminated.

The Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator (RNEP): RNEP is a nuclear weapon that would burrow a few meters into the ground before exploding and thus generate a powerful underground shock wave. Its hypothetical targets are deeply buried command bunkers or underground storage sites containing chemical or biological agents.
The RNEP design: Weapons designers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory intend to use an existing high-yield nuclear warhead—the 1.2-megaton B83 nuclear bomb—in a longer, stronger and heavier bomb casing. The B83 is the largest nuclear weapon in the U.S. arsenal, and nearly 100 times more powerful than the nuclear bomb used on Hiroshima.1

The original 8.4 earthquake has been allegedly revised to 5.2 due to "malfunctioning" equipment in France, but I still don't understand the European's deleting the original reference to the 8.4 earthquake instead of properly revising it downward to 5.2 .. Anyway, carry onward.

I went through that and moved to an article by Robert. W. Nelson.

Here is a link to all of his writings, the first being what you are talking about.
