A major earthquake struck near L'Aquila, Italy, approximately 60 miles east of Rome. Reports indicate a scientist attempted to warn residents with a megaphone weeks prior but was silenced by local authorities for causing unnecessary alarm. This event is compared to the 1989 San Francisco earthquake, where geologist Jim Berkland was reportedly suspended for making similar accurate predictions.
