Earthquake affects more than 68,000 people, leaves 21,000 homeless
A magnitude 5.3 quake struck Yongshan County at a depth of 13 km, at 6:40 a.m. Saturday local time damaging at least 2,731 homes (75 destroyed), affecting more than 68,000, and leaving 21,000 displaced. At least 25 people were injured, authorities said.
The quake also damaged numerous other buildings including 48 schools across six towns, reported Xinhua.
Xiluodu Hydropower Project
“Yongshan is home to the Xiluodu hydropower project, China’s second largest hydropower station, only 15 km from the epicenter. Rumors have spread that the quake was caused by the power station,” said the report.
“The area has a history of quakes, [Zhang Jianguo of Yunnan Disaster Prevention Research Institute] said, and quakes caused by reservoirs usually have quite shallow epicenters, at a depth of around 4 km, while the epicenter of Saturday’s quake was 13 km deep.”

A magnitude 9.1 Mw earthquake occurred off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, on December 26, 2004. It was the fourth largest earthquake in the world since 1900 and the largest since the 1964 Prince William Sound, Alaska, earthquake. The earthquake generated a tsunami that caused more casualties than any other in recorded history. The tsunami was recorded nearly world-wide on tide gauges in the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. In total, more than 227,8980 people were killed or missing and 1,126,900 were displaced by the earthquake and subsequent tsunami in 14 countries in South Asia and East Africa. Source: NGDC

Japan’s Electric Power Companies Shareholders Call for Nuclear Plant Closures
Shareholders of five electric power companies in Japan are demanding the utilities to decommission their nuclear power plants following the nuclear disaster at Fukushima Daiichi power plant, NHK reported.

Some 400 shareholders of the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), which operates the Fukushima NPP, have submitted an official petition calling for the abolition of the company’s nuclear power plants.
“Shareholders of at least four other power companies—Kansai Electric, Chugoku Electric, Kyushu Electric and Tohoku Electric—have made similar proposals.” Said the report.
The move follows a similar action by a group of 232 shareholders of Tohoku Electric company who submitted a motion on Monday calling for the company to abolish its nuclear power plants, Japan’s JiJi press reported.
The group argued that the risks of operating nuclear power plants far outweigh the full extent of liabilities that any single company could afford, and urged the company to decommission its nuclear power plants and to withdraw its investment in the spent nuclear fuel reprocessing plants, the report said.
“The power companies are expected to examine the proposals and submit them to a vote at their annual shareholders’ meeting. The meetings are typically held by the end of June.” NHK reported.
Death Toll from the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake and Tsunami
Meanwhile, Japanese authorities released that following data for the numbers dead or missing in the March 11 Mega quake that struck Tohoku region in northeastern Japan:
- Total number of people dead or missing: 25,536
- Confirmed dead in 12 prefectures: 14,728*
- Number of victims identified so far: 12,509 (Source: NHK)
*The figure includes victims of two deadly aftershocks on April 7th and 11th.

Rainwater Fills Australia’s Channel Country


Dry river channels throughout Australia’s Channel Country were filled by rainwater in just 6 days, between 2 – 8 March 2011. Summer of 2010–2011 proved to be Australia’s 2nd wettest on its 111-year record, topped only by the rainfall in 1973–1974. Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology has reportedly said that the rainfall is so far more than 70 percent above normal. The above images of SW Queensland and N South Australia, which use a mix of infrared and visible light, were taken by MODIS on NASA’s Terra satellite on March 2, 2011 (top), and March 8, 2011 (bottom).

Secrecy, Police Control and Political Manipulation Continue in the Quake Aftermath
Confirmed death toll from the Christchurch earthquake has risen to 145, as of posting, with 200+ listed as missing, the Canterbury Region police chief has said.
- Despite the mounting death toll, NZ police have only released the names of six victims.
- Police refusal to release the list of those missing remains an even bigger mystery.
The Cathedral ‘God’ Despised

Demolition workers are lowered by crane onto the top of the Christchurch Cathedral. About 22 people, mostly foreign tourists, are said to be entombed inside the 130-year old building. Photo credit: AP. Image may be subject to copyright.
Other deatails:
- There was no live rescue today, just recovery.
- Rescue operations have been abandoned in several areas.
- About 150,000 tons of sand, surfaced as a result of the liquefaction, will have to be removed from Christchurch’s eastern suburbs, reports say. Only about a fifth of that amount (30,000 tons of sand) was removed after the September 4, 2010 earthquake, NZ’s civil defense has said.
- More than a third of Christchurch workforce will be out of work for months/years because of the closure of downtown.
- About 65,000 people remain without water
- More than 100,000 have no sewerage service.
- At least 1,000 homes and business have been assessed as “unsafe,” with many more rated as “requiring further assessment.”
- About one-third of the buildings in central Christchurch would have to be demolished, according to one estimate.
- About 200 elderly residents from the worst-affected areas have been transferred out of Christchurch area.
- At least a quarter of Christchurch buildings are still without power.
- “More than 500 competitors from 30 different countries were taking part in the ITF World Seniors Championships in Christchurch when the quake hit the 6.3 magnitude quake hit on Tuesday.” Said a report.
Noteworthy Points for Collapse Scholars:
- Racketeering. Many businesses in Christchurch are reportedly hiking up their prices to maximize profit in the wake of the fatal earthquake, Newstalk ZB said.
- Food Security. at least 50,000 of Christchurch workforce will be out of work for months, possibly years because of the devastation caused by the earthquake.
- The Police State. Some 324 police personnel have been imported from Australia and sworn to secrecy.
- The Exodus. The rush to get out of Christchurch is accelerating, reports say. “Some of those leaving are going for good, even some who have nowhere else to go.” Said a report. The exodus from Christchurch to Picton and Wellington has begun.
- The Domino Effect. The city of Nelson, and towns of Blenheim and Picton (and others in the Marlborough region), have reportedly run out of accommodation for the elderly, after many were relocated from Christchurch following Tuesday’s earthquake.
[NOTE: Areas in and around the Golden Bay, the Tasman Bay and the region north and south of the Cook Strait are believed to be among NZ’s potential disaster hotpots. FIRE-EARTH]

SPECIFIC WARNING to New Zealand
Large-scale tectonic and geophysical activities could wipe off Christchurch and other NZ cities from the face of the Earth
In A Warning to Visitors to New Zealand FIRE-EARTH asked Apartheid Fort New Zealand to post the following message dated May 9, 2009:
[NOTE: The posts linked to above have also been buried by NZ govt and the Internet mafia.]
Climatological and Geological Warning!
The New Zealand region is about to experience significant climatological events and large-scale geological and tectonic activity. Would be visitors are advised to stay out of the area for the foreseeable future.
Posted by feww on July 16, 2009
STAY OUT OF NEW ZEALAND!
The following WARNING was first posted on MAY 9, 2009 at NewZeelend Blog. FEWW is re-posting the WARNING with renewed urgency:
Seismic, Volcanic and Climatological Warning!
The New Zealand region is undergoing large-scale tectonic [seismological and volcanic] activities and significant climatological events. Would be visitors are well advised to stay clear of the area for the foreseeable future.
Here’s a New, SPECIFIC WARNING to New Zealand
FIRE-EARTH believes large earthquakes could destroy Christchurch and several other cities in New Zealand. The bulk of Christchurch could literally vanish as a result of ensuing geophysical activity, possibly by as early as 2015.
In the Short Term
- More powerful shocks could strike Christchurch [also Auckland, Wellington and elsewhere in New Zealand] anytime.
- Large scale volcanic activity in the country could occur this year [high probability.]
- FIRE-EARTH has identified a number of potential seismic ‘Ground Zeros,’ areas prone to devastation, in the New Zealand Region, some of which coincide with population centers.
New Zealand government has a moral responsibility [we won’t hold our breath] and a legal duty to relocate New Zealanders from the DANGER ZONES. [Would you trust a government which hides earthquake warnings from its people?]
FIRE-EARTH advice to Christchurch residents:
Get out while you’re still alive!
