Breakfast Special: Is Taiwan's earthquake the largest in its sequence‪?‬ Breakfast with Ryan Huang, Emaad Akhtar and Audrey Siek

    • Business News

Can you imagine living through more than 500 aftershocks after a strong earthquake? 

That was what rocked Taiwan over the past week or so, following a 7.4 magnitude quake that hit Hualien earlier this month - the strongest to hit the region in a quarter-century.

But some are worried that this earthquake is not the biggest event in this sequence. Is that a possibility that can be ruled out at this point?

On episode of Breakfast Special, Yin Yifan, Seismologist & Postdoctoral Fellow, MIT Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences weighs in.
