La grande faille de Californie: ce point faible de l''écorce terrestre est cause de fréquents séismes dans cette région du continent américain. Celui qui vient d''avoir lieu, de faible intensité, aurait pu passer inaperçu s''il n''avait ete revendique par des terroristes. Revendication que ni le FBI ni la police ne prennent au serieux.
