7.0-magnitude earthquake hits Japan, no danger of tsunami
South Asian News Agency (SANA) | January 1, 2012 â‹…

TOKYO, (SANA): A strong earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.0 struck under the sea several hundred miles (kilometers) south of Japan on Sunday, shaking buildings in the capital, but officials said there was no danger of a tsunami.

The tremor struck at 2:28pm with its focus deep at about 370 kilometres, Japan’s Meteorological Agency said. The US Geological Survey put the depth at 348 kilometres.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injury and no tsunami warning was issued.

The mid-afternoon quake swayed buildings in Tokyo and surrounding areas but it did not disrupt the final of the Emperor’s Cup football tournament under way at the National Stadium.

One of these days, Big Brotha is gonna have to hunt down this Bush guy - the one they named the Fault after - and frog march his ass to The Hague for all this destruction he's caused.  After he has the CIA extract the secret BFEE baked bean recipe; by water-boarding, of course.  :fuelfire:
