[Column] Significant similarity between M7.3 of 12/7/2012 and M7.3 of 3/9/2011

At 17:18 of 12/7/2012, M7.3 hit “Off the coast of Sanriku” and aftershock keeps occurring.
This seismic situation is significantly similar to 3/9/2011, 2 days before 311.
At 11:45:12 of 3/9/2011, M7.3 hit the same location with series of aftershock to follow.

The only difference is the fact that the earthquake on 3/9/2011 was reverse fault type, but the one on 12/7/2012 was normal fault type. [Link 1 2]

It might be presumed that the plate that ran aground on 3/11/2011 was stretched over again on 12/7/2012.

We need to be cautious for the following few days. If I were in Japan, I would move to somewhere west where you can easily access an international airport during this weekend.

Le 7 décembre 2012 à 17:18, un séisme de magnitude 7,3 a frappé “au large de la côte de Sanriku” et il y en a encore des répliques.
Cette situation sismique est similaire à celle du 9 mars 2011, 2 jours avant celui du 11-3.
Le 9 mars 2011 à 11:45:12, un séisme M7,3 frappe au même endroit et des séries de répliques s’en suivent.

6 Significant similarity between M7.3 of 12/7/2012 and M7.3 of 3/9/2011

On pourrait penser que la plaque qui s’était dilatée le 11 mars 2011 s’est contractée le 7 décembre 2012.

Nous devons être prudents dans les jours qui viennent. Si j’étais au Japon, je déménagerais quelque part à l’ouest à un endroit d’où l’ont peut facilement accéder à un aéroport international ce week-end.

About this site

This website updates the latest news about the Fukushima nuclear plant and also archives the past news from 2011. Because it's always updated and added live, articles, categories and the tags are not necessarily fitted in the latest format.
I am the writer of this website. About page remains in 2014. This is because my memory about 311 was clearer than now, 2023, and I think it can have a historical value. Now I'm living in Romania with 3 cats as an independent data scientist.
Actually, nothing has progressed in the plant since 2011. We still don't even know what is going on inside. They must keep cooling the crippled reactors by water, but additionally groundwater keeps flowing into the reactor buildings from the broken parts. This is why highly contaminated water is always produced more than it can circulate. Tepco is planning to officially discharge this water to the Pacific but Tritium is still remaining in it. They dilute this with seawater so that it is legally safe, but scientifically the same amount of radioactive tritium is contained. They say it is safe to discharge, but none of them have drunk it.
