Heads Up for Chile: Cluster of 16 large fore and aftershocks could be on the verge of a massive quake in the days to come Posted: 25 Apr 2017 06:08 AM PDT USGS Heads up for Chile with 16 large fore and aftershocks in the last couple of days including a massive mag 7.1 last night which has been downgraded by USGS to a mag 6.9. Other notable quakes included a mag 5.9, a 5.4 and two 5.1’s. With a massive Coronal Hole facing our planet, the main quake factor here on Earth, conditions could be perfect for more large quakes in this area in the days to come A similar cluster of foreshocks occurred just before the massive mag 9. quake hit Honshu Japan in 2011.

Dirty Bomb threat just miles from Texas border as radiography equipment, is stolen on the outskirts of tourist hotspot Guadalajara Mexico. Posted: 25 Apr 2017 03:27 AM PDT Photo laprogressive.com The Mexican government has placed nine states on high alert after radioactive material capable of creating a dirty bomb was stolen near the nation's second largest city. The Iridium 192, a potentially highly unstable material used in radiography equipment, was stolen on the outskirts of tourist hotspot Guadalajara. Luis Felipe Puente, head of national emergency services, placed nine states on high alert after the material disappeared just half a day's drive from the Texan border. Iridium 192, which has a half-life of 73 days, is one of a small number of radioactive materials suitable for use in an act of radiological terror. But authorities are concerned the radioactive isotope may have been stolen accidentally, with thieves unwittingly holding onto the destructive material after attempting to steal the pickup truck it was housed in. A Ministry of the Interior spokesperson said: "The source can be dangerous if it is not handled in safe conditions. "It could cause permanent injuries to anyone who manipulates it or is in contact with it over a short period of time (minutes to hours). "Plus if the material is not in its container it represents a significant risk to health." This is not the first time Mexican thieves have unwittingly stolen highly dangerous materials. In 2013 carjackers unknowingly stole cobalt-60 from a truck fitted with a radiotherapy machine used for cancer treatment. Despite fears the cobalt-60 could be weaponised, the material was later recovered. Last year former Defence Secretary Lord Browne claimed groups including Islamic State are trying to get their hands on radioactive material to make a nuclear "dirty bomb". Lord Browne, vice chairman of the Nuclear Threat Initiative, said that when IS captured Mosul in 2014 it claimed to have taken caesium from hospitals. He said: "I do not know if that was true but the fact that they said it reveals that they know the terror threat that it poses." He added: "There is significant intelligence that terrorists around the world know these materials exist, know where they are and have been making efforts to get them. "In a terrorist investigation in Norway the authorities discovered that the person of interested wanted to do this. Norway acted immediately by removing the material from hospitals. "I don't think there's an intelligence brief in the world that does not suggest that a dirty bomb is not a threat or that terrorists have not expressed a desire to get their hands on the material."

Evacuation warnings have been issued again for Papua New Guinea's Manam Island as the island's volcano continues to rumble and spew ash. The National reported the eruption alert level for the Manam volcano has been raised to stage three, a sign that people had to be moved off. The volcano, which dominates Manam Island off the mainland's north-east coast, erupted nine days ago. Disaster authorities were recommending people leave as soon as possible. A councillor for Dugulava village on the island said there were rumbling, blasts and spewing ashes from the volcano on Sunday night. He said they had begun moving women and children to Bogia on the mainland. Is massive Coronal Hole the cause for black outs, volcano activity and massive 7.1 quake of the coast of Santiago? Solar wind is flowing from this massive coronal hole and has reached and is causing magnetic around the Earths magnetosphere and causing pressure on Earth. In the past couple of days, since the solar wind escaping from the Coronal hole began battering the Earths magnetosphere, 100,000 people suffered black-outs in San Francisco, a massive 7.1 quake reduced to a mag 6.9 by USGS and increased volcano activity around the world with the volcano above in Papua New Guinea and Costa Rica's Turrialba volcano and Poas volcano and Nishinoshima island in Japan just a few examples Spaceweather.com A massive Coronal hole facing Earth We've seen this coronal hole before. On March 27th it lashed Earth's magnetic field with a fast-moving stream that ignited intense auroras around both of Earth's poles. The coronal hole is potent because it is spewing solar wind threaded with "negative polarity" magnetic fields. Home Page The Wire |
