It was the Himalayan nation's deadliest disaster in more than 80 years, killing more than 4,300 people and causing massive destruction. According to early seismological data obtained from sound waves which travel through Earth after an earthquake, the ground beneath the capital Kathmandu may have moved about three metres (10 feet) southward. According to the Wall Street Journal. the tectonic plate under the city shifted southwards 10 feet over another plate along an ancient Himalayan fault line, releasing a seismic shock wave with the strength of "more than 20 thermonuclear weapons,".
