Bizarro world strikes Ukraine/Belarus/Russia border

[ziggystarlust]

A 6.8 earthquake was reported on the Russia/Ukraine/Belarus border. BUT...the story was REDACTED as a "mislocation event". Whatever the hell that is. From Zero Hedge...

But there was also a 7.1 on the North Atlantic Ridge at the approximate same time, and that is not good either...nor can I provide a link to that as the heading is an entire paragraph which I doubt would work!

Not good for Newfoundland or Nova Scotia Canada coastlines-plates could rupture

It's a system error I think.
If you consider the coordinates of the Northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge where the 7.1 (and others) occurred 52.669°N 31.924°W or 53N 32W for simplification, they correspond closely to the region of Klintsy in Russia with coordinates 52°45′ N 32°14′ E (according to Wikipedia) or 53N 32E
I think there was a confusion between the longitudes. It is remarkable nonetheless.

Thanx for the info...and I have the weirdest time with latitude and longitude co-ordinates. There are different versions of it, and when attempting the find certain things-my results can be off. Hate looking them up-but that is probably just me...lol
