    There is a book by Haruki Murakami called Underground that is a bunch of interviews with people who survived the sarin gas attack in Tokyo. It’s OK but the thing I found interesting was a lot of people didn’t realise what had happened and continued on to work rather than hospitals. I can understand three was a lot of confusion and chaos when it happened. It reads though as if Japanese people where like not going to let a sarin gas attack stop them from getting to work. It kind of made me angry and frustrated I don’t think I finished that book. Destroying the world to save it a good read if your interested in the topic though.

    Aum bought a farm in Western Australia in 90s they flew in with a lab setup and where testing sarin on sheep. That farm also had a fair bit of uranium on it too. There was a seismic event that hasn’t really been able to be explained that happened in the same area at the around the same time. It’s sort of a local conspiracy that it was Aum testing nuclear weapons. One of their plans to bring about a global apocalypse was to obtain nukes to trigger seismic events that would destroy the world.

      Thanks, that’s very interesting. It’s disturbing how many groups around the world think the only way forward is to tear it all down first.

      I think Japan is one of the most seismically active areas in the world, especially for its relatively small area.
