What's new

Earth quake Again.....7.1 nepal...tremors felt in delhi too

ummm doesn't make sense.....after shocks is what is followed by a big shock...plates that shifted need to come back to its place and thus maned aftershocks...however haven't heard of a so called after shock almost equal to the original shock

Exactly what I am saying. Also do you notice, all these quakes hit at the same time of the day. 3 times I had to run out of the house since last month and all three times at 12.30pm +- 30 mins.
 
A really sad situation, reports of deaths and fresh building collapses coming in. All the aid workers are out of Nepal already. God help that country.

It would be pertinent to note that transport and helicopter aircraft are being utilised extensively for Human Assistance Disaster Relief (HADR) operations. The Indian Air Force, after proving its mettle in bringing succour to scores of people after Yemen evacuation this month, Jammu & Kashmir in September last year, has once again risen to the occasion and added a pioneering chapter in Disaster Relief by bringing relief to the needy and evacuate them from earthquake hit areas in Nepal. The Indian Air Force reaffirms its commitment towards Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief Operations in support of the nation.
