Massive earthquake felt in Tasmania
The world's biggest earthquake in almost four years has struck 800 km off the coast of Tasmania
'If it happened underneath a population centre in Australia, this would probably have destroyed a whole city,' seismologist Cvetan Sinadinovski said.
'In terms of size, this could have been more than 30 times stronger than the Newcastle event of 1989.'
[On December 28, 1989, a magnitude 5.6 earthquake struck Newcastle, causing extensive damage and killing 13 people.]
