Scientist area saying that the earthquake that hit Japan recently is not the "big one". Yes the magnitude was huge but the death toll will not be as great as the one scientists predicted will happen soon. The one they predicted will hit right around Tokyo which will kill many more people than the recent one. They said it could be a repeat of the 1923 earthquake that hit around Tokyo and killed about 142,000 people. So since Tokyo is lying very close to three fault lines, an earthquake could easily destroy it.
