The world’s tallest earthquake generator
A couple of days ago, there were several reports theorizing how the 101-floor skyscraper ‘Taipei 101′ may be causing earthquakes in Taipei (via Jason).
As if on demand, this evening at 6.15 there was a healthy bump which turned out to be a 4.0 magnitude earthquake. Not a huge quake, but enough to wake you up - and interestingly the epicentre was less than 3km from ‘Taipei 101′ (data from Taiwan’s CWB).
Here’s an image of how close the earthquake was to the building (or the zoomable google maps version). I’m not sure I can remember an earthquake (that I could feel) which was centred on Taipei before; interesting coincidence …

I had no more posted my shots and story of Taipei 101 on my blog when this story came out! It makes sense but I never would have considered it myself.

, completed in 2004 and currently the tallest building in the world, may have opened up an old fault line, resulting in the increase of micro-earthquakes. >Scary.<br><br/>Scary. (Found this out fromOne whole jujuflop situation). ).

Interesting but I don’t think it’s causing the earthquakes. It’s built beside a fault line, which explains a lot.
