Nepal Earthquake - Aftershocks Shocking

This zone is 200 km long.  A true M8 would be 300 km long.  The footwall is probably to the north, and all the populated areas are on the hanging wall, where all the aftershocks are.  We are lucky the city wasn't in the true 'hammer zone' of the thrust fault.  This happened with the Armenian earthquake, which was only an M7 but the city was on the zone. Same with Kobe -- an M7 with attitude.
