Geologists Might Be Charged For Not Predicting Quake
mmmscience writes “In 2009, a series of small earthquakes shook the region of L’Aquila, Italy. Seismologists investigated the tremors, but concluded that there was no direct indication of a big ‘quake on the horizon. Less than a month later, a magnitude-6.3 earthquake killed more than 300 people. Now, the chief prosecutor of L’Aquila is
looking to charge the scientists with gross negligent manslaughter for not predicting the ‘quake.”
