A team of geologists from UC-Berkeley said the seismological data from the mine collapse does not match what they would expect to see in a natural earthquake.
MFT wonders aloud: what's an "un-natural" earthquake look like, NPR? Berkeley geologists continue:
"What we found is that this seismic event was is in fact very different from what we typically see in earthquakes and it seems to suggest that there was a closure of an underground cavity," said Doug Dreger, the chief author of the study from Berkeley Seismological Laboratory.
You know Doug, Pepe?
Bob Murray, the owner of this mine, sounds like a real God Fearing man, at least to a Sinner such as myself.

Do they think it was a mine structure collapsing, or a cavern already naturally there?
The mine-owner is such a Righteous and Religious blow-hard that, well, it's difficult to take those folks seriously. When he tells me his outfit didn't engage in dangerous mining practices — "retreat mining" — the little Mencken in me (he's in us all, mind you; or MINE you) raises an eyebrow.
