With Geographical skills like these, I’m surprised that Americans could even find Iraq on a map – much less invade it. Oh yeah….silly me ….they were looking for Afghanistan at the time!
you lot are morons. it was only 9 kms deep. report facts.
Plus it was only a few kilometers deep, not over a hundred miles!!
What on earth are the people at this “”news agency”” smoking!?!
I know earthquakes move land about but this must be something of a record!
Complete and utter rubbish.
USGS is clearly a comical attempt at being a geological institute.
I feel like the Education system in the States is SERIOUSLY lacking, considering when they don’t know where it is, they still can’t even look it up on a map, google, or even local news pages. Stop insulting an ENTIRE COUNTRY with your poor research and misleading facts and go back to school!
I had NO IDEA that I lived near Brooklyn and Sirolo, Italy!!!!! how have I failed to not notice this???? was I looking the other way ????. As stated before you are COMPLETE HACKS! why not just steal an article from CREDIBLE NEWSPAPER instead

Perhaps consulting an atlas or world map might be a good idea
“United States Geological Survey reports that the New Zealand quake struck around 76km S of Brooklyn and 8km E of Sirolo, Italy.” WHAT??????
