This year was very bad :(. i hope that next will be much calmer and without victims.

 

Not really. It's been pretty average (knock on wood). We're yet to see an earthquake at 8.0 or above (the one mentioned by @heywoodu was "only" 7.8). Last time we've been without an earthquake at 8.0 or above was 2008. I believe the number of 7.0-7.9 has been pretty average (perhaps a bit above).

I used to think that things were getting worse and worse when it came to earthquakes, but looking at the statistics, it doesn't seem like it's that much (except that we're now slightly more used to the ones at 8.0 or above).

When it comes to casualties, it's not so terrible either, though of course every one of the 1327 (according to Wikipedia) deaths were sad.

 

I don't mean to make the major earthquakes less scary or the deaths less sad, but we've seen much worse.

But of course the year isn't done yet, and you never know when they happen!

4.6 earthquake strikes Croatia. Epicenter only 11km away from the second largest city Split.

 

Luckily, only some material damage has been reported. :pope:

the earthquake is not bad like you think also the volcano , storm , tsunami ...etc  it's very important for the echosystem , the planet searches always the equilibrium

Russian ambasador in Turkey shot according to some sources he died in the hospital. The attacker apparently yelled about "avenging Aleppo"... :cry:

    • This could be the last ever Paralympics. Come 2028 it might well not be held because the IPC has split in two. That’s one legacy for Andrew Parsons.    He could simply ignore CAS or even withdraw the IPC from them. Unless he is worried about falling from his hotel room window or is being blackmailed. 
    • The Netherlands has decided to cancel its hosting of the 2026 European Paralympic Swimming Championships due to the participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes under their own flags, ad.nl reported on February 25. The Dutch Swimming Federation (KNZB) made this decision after consultations with government ministries, including the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, which confirmed the withdrawal.
    • An interesting bit from the head of french biathon on the olympic success. Asking if the early gold in the mixed relay was a major factor in the following podiums, he highlighted the last world cup stage (9 podiums over the week) as a great confidence boost just before the Olympics.     https://www.nordicmag.info/jo-2026-biathlon-pour-nordic-magazine-stephane-bouthiaux-tire-le-bilan-des-incroyables-jeux-olympiques-du-biathlon-francais-on-naurait-jamais-pense-ramener-autant-de-medailles-0226/

    • Indians have rediscovered hockey due to recent Olympic and Asian level successes. One of the catalyst was a sports movie called 'Chak De! India' (meaning Go India in Punjabi) which is a underdog movie on the women's team. The movie songs has become an iconic patriotic song to motivate our athletes in sports events and the movie title 'Chak De' has become a slogan in itself.  The movie is available in Netflix France as well - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0871510/
