| Rumours of impending apocalypse jolt Iranian capital | |
| 2004-06-08 | |
| EFL The millions of residents of the Iranian capital, all housed on top of a string of seismic faultlines, had up until recently taken their geophysical predicament with a mixture of apathy and sheer ignorance. Sheer Ignorance? Couldn’t be... [snipped bits about nearby quakes, its the 150 year cycle and people freaking out For when the big one does come, Tehran’s residents can be assured of a total catastrophe. According to various studies, notably by Japanese experts, a quake measuring over 6 degrees on the Richter scale could kill more than one million of greater Tehran’s 12 million people. snipped yet more on people scared of their crappy apartments, stocking food and the like... Seems to me that it’s time for the VOA to start broadcasting stuff like "In a recent study at an unnamed university, it was found and 3 out of 4 geologists recommend against nuclear weapon testing in geologically unstable regions."
