Re: 7.3 Magnitude Earthquake hits Japanese coast
7.3 is a bad quake, but no where near as bad as the one in Indonesia last year. Also, Japan has building codes mandating quake-resistant construction. A 7.3 will do some significant damage for sure, but probably nothing like the wholesale collapses you get when a quake of similar magnitude hits a third-world country with lots of cheap, crappy concrete buildings, or old masonry buildings.

Re: 7.3 Magnitude Earthquake hits Japanese coast
Yeah but 9.1 is incredibly large. You almost never hear of quakes that size. It's really rare.
7.3 is still pretty darn big. |
