Artificial quakes on Fuji to help predict eruption
The Japan Times: Sept. 7, 2003
Researchers from eight universities said Saturday they plan to set off artificial earthquakes around Mount Fuji on Thursday to determine underground structures and help predict future eruptions....They will detonate 500-kg charges 80 meters beneath the surface at five points along a line connecting the city of Shizuoka and the town of Tsukui in Kanagawa Prefecture. ... The scientists will observe seismic waves with some 400 instruments along the line, including on the summit of Mount Fuji.

Hmmm - that seems a bit like poking a large vicious dog with a stick to see if it bites...

didnt the US try this once during the war, and the bombs failed to detonate...

things like this and pokemon are best if not done

Could this not start a chain reaction to create real earthquakes? Is it possible that they may start a castrophy of epic proportions?
