> On 26/12/04, the fault line extended for hundreds of km, possibly thousands

>>A magnitude 9.0 megathrust earthquake occurred on December 26, 2004 just off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. The earthquake happened on the interface of the India and Burma plates. Based on preliminary locations of larger aftershocks, approximately 1200 kilometers of the plate boundary slipped as a result of the earthquake. From the size of the earthquake it is likely that average displacement on the fault plane was about 15 meters.<<

Re: ...the 5 megaton codename Cannikin test which occurred on November 6, 1971. Cannikin had a body wave magnitude of 6.9 and it did not trigger any earthquakes in the seismically active Aleutian Islands.<<

Gus, frankly, I think it's time to come back into the real world -- if you can.


But I've never left the "real world", Searle. Here's the scientific evidence gathered in "the real world" so far: a magnitude 6.4 event picked up firsthand by Indonesian geophysicists (later "upgraded" to M9 by US geonerds) and an ensuing freak tsunami --in a region that hasn't witnessed any for the past 120 years(*).

At this point, we leave "the real world" to enter the speculative world: what caused both a M6.4 peak on seismographs and the subsequent tsunami? The official theory is: an underwater earthquake. Evidence of such? Submarine pics? None... zilch!

My and others' theory: the simultaneous underwater bursts of 5 or 6 one-megaton nukes. Evidence of such? Hydroacoustic data? Satellite pics? Radioactive fallout? Not available. Not my business. Classified.
