Superfast earthquake waves

[thorbiorn]

In the German online version of Der Spiegel there is an article about superfast earthquakes. Researches have found that the devastating earthquake that took place on the 14th of April 2010 in the area of YUSHU in the province of QINGHAI in Southern China which was measured to 6.9 on the Richter scale, and which caused 2000 death and 10.000 wounded, had peculiarities of its own. Whereas previous theoretical work had shown that no earthquake wave could travel faster than 20.000 km/h, with the measured record being 18.000 km/h, this one was measured to travel at around 21.000 km/h (5 km/s), according to this abstract.

Anyone, who is familiar with highschool physics or has worked on figuring out the stopping length of a car in movement, might recall that the kinetic energy of a moving body is calculated from the expression 1/2*m*v^2. In other words 21.000 km/h is very fast and makes a moving body contain 10% more kinetic energy than had the speed been only 20.000 km/h and 36% more than if the speed had been a mere 18.000 km/h.

It is mentioned in the article that the suyperfast waves have characteristics in common with those shockwaves that are predicted to result from meteor impacts. Also it is pointed out that these superfast earthquake waves occur primarily in areas where tectonic plates slide along each other. Researchers have identified 26 metropolitan areas located near or on such dangerous fault lines.

That this CAN happen is scary enough, that it IS happening is even scarier.

I'm reminded of something I recently read from the C's that mentioned a connection with FRV of the beings inhabiting the surface and the Earth Changes...I will try to find the exact quote if I have 'time'...and curious that ALSO, there was YET ANOTHER shcool shooting in OHIO, USA this day?

Perhaps it is "REVERBERATIONS" of some sort? JUST WHAT is it going ON in the USA that is being manifested the world over?!

...So strange that I have loathed to watch ANY of the news media, yet I DID watch the reports of the school shooting this morning (only because my husband chose to change the channel)

...and was SINGULARLY IMPRESSED that the 'students' interviewed on the scene were so TERRIBLY CALM and Nonchalant about the entire episode! It literally 'creeped' me out! All I could think was, "if it had been me as a student in that school, learning of a shooting...I WOULD HAVE BEEN A NERVOUS WRECK to learn that 5 students were shot by a fellow student!"...BUT THESE INTERVIEWEES were SO CALM, almost talking as though they were ordering lunch at a restaurant, for all the emotions that were shown or expressed, almost like they were so entirely NONPLUSSED! I even witnessed 'footage' of another student as she left the school smiling when she saw the cameras, covering her mouth like it was all so silly! Perhaps I am reading too much into this, but I found the entire reporting SO DISTURBING, and especially how calm the parents seemed while waiting to collect their children from the apparent 'lockdown' and even the students seemed to be so as well!

WOW! HOW STRANGE THIS IS TO ME! Knowing that we are all connected and that perhaps Earth Changes can possibly be a symptom of the FRV of the inhabitants thereof! Am I 'seeing' a possible connection here, or just imagining?

My 2 cents
