well, I am glad nobody was injured. Know a young fella, a foreman at Garson. As you know Garson is about a 100 year old mine but was closed for a number of years. Was there a full moon in Sudbury yesterday? Attended a lecture by a South African who came to Canada, Dr. Jukes Schwellnus, a structural geologist, who was employed by Inco some 45+ years ago. He was asked to determine what precipitated the rock bursts at Garson Mine. He tried to corellate it to phases of the mining cycle, stope and pillar dimensions etc., then gave up saying "there is no more corellation here than there is to the phases of the moon" then he stopped and thought about it and tried to test that hypostheses. Found out 90+% of rock bursts did occur within 3 days of the full moon. theory is that the lunar pull will provide just enuf extra to cause the rock burst if there is a situation where one is about to occur. When Jose Canseco was playing in the world series in Oakland, the announcer made a comment about if Jose could get the right pitch he would put the ball into orbit around the full moon that was just rising and which could be seen on the tv. Oakland earthquake occured the next day. A few days later I was in a fancy restaurant with a group including a guy I had played ball with in high school and who had earned a PhD in chemistry when subject of earthquake came up. I related the story of Dr. Schwellnus. well there was so much laughter, and my Phd buddy fell off his chair we almost got kicked out of the place. Two weeks later professors at a California Univ. announced they had found a co-relation between earthquakes and the phases of the moon.
