Asia quake EXACTLY 1 yr. after Iran quake that killed 26,000

Exactly one year apart, within minutes. Now that's weird!

The more I hear about it, the more devastating it gets. It's so sad. :(


WHEN THE EARTH MOVES

Coincidence! Major quake exactly 1 year ago
Asia killer tops 26,000 death toll of Bam shaker also on Dec. 26


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Is it just a striking coincidence?

The 9.0 killer earthquake in Asia that unleashed tsunamis killing tens of thousands followed exactly one year to the hour after the Bam, Iran, earthquake that killed 26,000.


On Dec. 26, 2003, a 6.6 quake hit the ancient city of Bam in Iran. While the quake was much smaller than the one that struck near the island of Sumatra Sunday, its epicenter was directly under the city.

On Dec. 26, 2004, the 9.0 quake struck in South Asia. While the death toll will be much higher, most of the destructiveness was the result of the giant waves triggered by the earth's movement under the India Ocean.

The 2003 quake hit at 01:56:52 UTC, while the 2004 quake struck at 00:58:55 UTC – exactly one year, 58 minutes apart.

The Northridge Earthquake in SoCA and the Kobe earthquake in Japan also occurred on the same date exactly one year apart so it has happened before.
