Hawaii quake causes havoc on Big Island's west coast

HONOLULU, Hawaii (AP) -- An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.5 was felt across Hawaii early Sunday,
causing a landslide that blocked a major highway on Hawaii Island, the Pacific Tsunami Center said.

Could the recent Nuclear Test conducted by North Korea have been the impetus for this Quake in Hawaii ?

Should Mankind stop to consider the cause and effect of his actions?
In my opinion many of these world-wide events are in part due to mankind's activities.

Do you think Mankind's existence causes such world-wide 'cause and effect' events?

I don't think it would make a 6.5 earthquake, that's a lot of distance. Techtonic plates seem a more likely culprit

No way

Look at the tests we do in the MidWest

There have been no Earthquakes big since Mt St Helen

In the 60's after they signed to no above ground nuclear tests, we continud to test extremely large nuclear weapons. Weapons that were literally thousands of times larger than the whatever it was that was tested in NK. These tests were conducted in Nevada which has it' own techtonic fault lines and about 300 hiles away you have major fault lines, specifically the San Andreas and offshoots of it. If a 500 ton explosion caused the hawaii earthquake, then certainly a 15 megaton underground explosion which is thousands of times larger than the NK test would have made Utah beachfront property. :roll:

The NK nuke didn't even make one kiloton (equivalent to 1000 tons of TNT). That is about 50X smaller than the Hiroshima bomb and barely qualifies as a nuke at all.

Not saying it was or wasn't a nuke. They can be made quite small. If you make them small enough that they do no more damage than say a daisy cutter then they are seriously wasing their money. there woud be nuclear fall out as well but it would not kill a large amount of people and the half life would be fairly quick due to the amount of radiation released.

We actually have tiny nukes in our arsenal in the form of bunker busters and for the use of destroying military installations without affecting a large amount of the population of a country.
