Quake Hits Iran; No Reports of Casualties |
2006-06-29 |
An earthquake shook southern Iran early Thursday morning, but there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage. Radio reports said residents of the southwestern city of Bandar Abbas poured into the streets after the quake hit. The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake struck at 1:32 a.m. (local time) and had a magnitude of 5.6. It was centered about 35 miles southwest of Bandar Abbas or about 650 miles southeast of Tehran, the capital. No other details were immediately available. Even moderate quakes have killed thousands of people in the past in the Iranian countryside where houses are often built of bricks. |

#2 Probably... but how many tests do they need, for Christ's sake? Get over with it, and unleash the big one, stop teasing us with small ones... or do they plan on doing a joint venture with the Tesla weaponry department or something? |
