Someone sent in this link to an interesting visualization of earthquake activity around Japan for the year of 2011. It starts off quiet, until the big earthquake that shook Japan and caused the nuclear “incident” that they are cleaning up to this day. Watch the video and it’s quite apparent that the massive earthquakes that shoot the island actually lasted for several months before quieting down.
