Japan Meteorological Agency Mistakes 6.9 Quake for Magnitude 9.9

World5 days ago

Public alerts were triggered across Japan on Oct. 16 following an error in the country's earthquake early warning system. The Japan Meteorological Agency issued an alert for a magnitude 9.9 earthquake, but the U.S. Geological Survey measured the actual magnitude of the event at 6.9. No tsunami alerts were issued in conjunction with the seismic activity.

The agency cancelled the severe earthquake warning minutes after its dissemination. The mistake overshot the measured strength of the quake by three full magnitude points.
