Could a big earthquake reduce Manhattan to rubble someday?:
A new study from the Earth Institute at Columbia University says there’s more seismic activity around the Big Apple than previously thought. Researchers also say they discovered a new active fault line running from Stamford, Connecticut 25 miles (40.2 kilometers) west toward the Hudson River. There, this underground fault intersects with another fault line.Sitting on top of that intersection is the Indian Point nuclear power plant.Scary stuff perhaps? Maybe – but big earthquakes still remain geologically unlikely around New York City.
