Fukushima gonna sink deep deep down into the Earth’s crust and all of mankind will be saved.
The World’s Bankers promised in 2008…”Never Again” but have since broken that promise.
…Perhaps we should throw all those world bankers into the Fukushima Hell Hole.
That may be the only way for “Never Again”.

If you click on the link for the earth quake info you will see that each since the on at 1905 has been in the same. I do not think I have ever noticed that before. Strange? Has anybody else?
Report Comment
Yes, between 50 and 100 since Mar. 11. Someone posted a good post as to the kind of slippage at this geographical location, which is different than the movements of plates in the ocean where the 9.0 earthquake was centered (I wish I knew where that post is). However, this one is much stronger than previous ones I’ve noticed. Japan reports that it is shallow, as most of the previious ones at this location.

If you are talking about the map, this just shows the intensity of one earthquake across Japan at the various locations of earthquake monitors and represents just one quake:

@ Anne. What I mean is that if you go here http://www.jma.go.jp/en/quake/20110929191611391-291905.html
click on next information you will see that the quakes are at the same location
37.1N 141E. Doesn’t this fit with the article on the Fukushima Diary blog that an explosion is suspected.
Report Comment
Well, we’ve seen these earthquakes at this location since Mar. 11. Actually this location is closer to Fuku Daini than Fuku Daiichi by 5 or 6 miles as the location is south of Fuku Daini.
Predictions of another explosion have also been made since Mar. 11. Either it will happen or it won’t. There is no way to stop it. There are no more precautions to make than have already been discussed. Either it is ELE or it isn’t.
Because England, France, US, Russia, China, and India (etc.) and other countries are planning more reactors, underground nuclear tests, more use of uranium weapons, more explosions in Japan will only decrease the time to the end.

I could list many of these earthquakes at this location since 3/11 as I have many of them on my computer. But I don’t think any one really wants me to make the space. And I have listed many of them previously.

They are at least 20 miles from Fuku Daiichi.
