    UK overdue an earthquake that could kill scores of people at any moment | Mail Online

    Britain is overdue a killer earthquake that could see up to 100 people crushed to death, a leading geologist has warned.
    Dr Roger Musson of the British Geological Survey believes a fracture in the earth's crust beneath the English Channel could slip at any time, sending a tremor rippling across the south east.
    The same fault was to blame for one of Britain's biggest earthquakes in the last 500 years - a magnitude 6 quake that killed two children in London in 1580



    You'll find me quivering under the bed if you need me.

        ´ang on a minute; I live in NL about 3 metres above sea level. I might be hit by a tsunami.

        PANIC!

          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            Yeah, sort of. There's a 'berg' nearby that's nearly 70 metres high. The locals get all dizzy trying to cycle up it; must be altitude sickness.

              The voices in my head tell me that Dr Roger Musson has just been told his research funding is under threat.
              How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                He only needs to propose that earthquakes are caused by man made global warming and he's laughing.

                  No one would dare question it. Or at least only raving nutters.

                    Hmm, I think he's right; there is indeed a fault under the channel. Thing is, 'could slip at any time', in geological terms means 'sometime in the next 1000 years or so'.
