BREAKING NEWS: Ahmadinejad wants millions to quit Tehran over quake fears

[Ruag]

I never specified which scale i was talking about and in any case, even by the MW, we can see there was one in 2006, just four years ago. The sites data doesn't go back very far and in fact it is not complete for the MW. Put down a min of 2 and a max of 5 and see how many results you get and then cross reference it with another site to get the correct number and see that it is wrong.

The most important point here though, is that i made a typo, i meant 6, and maybe if you were a bit bright you could have guessed that, considering the Bam earthquake which we were talking about was a 6.6.

Some of the comments here are seriously so.... uh! I am out of words.

Dude, whenever anyone says 6.6 magnitude or 7.8 magnitude earthquake, the person is referring to moment magnitude scale, not body-wave magnitude scale. So, a 6.6 Mw earthquake struck Bam, not 6.6 Mb. Any person with even basic science education should be able to figure that out.

Secondly, go learn something about how these scales work. 7 Mw earthquake is 10 times more intense than 6 Mw earthquake and 100 times more intense than 5 Mw earthquake. Therefore, even a 6.6 Mw earthquake is 6 times more intense than 6 Mw earthquakes.

You are adding and subtracting numbers to the scale as if a 6 Mw earthquake is the same as a 6.6 Mw earthquake.

Again, as I said before, this is what happens when people get educated in schools run by ayatollahs.

Maybe if you didn't go to a school in an Indian slum, you would realise that earthquakes in the region of 6-7 are not rare in Iran. Use a more up to date site and see for yourself.

Alrite Mr. Ayatollah fanboy,

So, tell me. How many earthquakes were in the 6 to 7 Mw range in the past one year?
