Powerful Quake Strikes 17 Days Later

A magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck Nepal on May 12, less than three weeks after a devastating temblor there killed more than 8,000 people. People across the country had feared another powerful earthquake, in part because the first one left many buildings cracked and unstable. The new quake caused strong shaking across an area about one-twelfth the size that experienced strong shaking in the April 25 quake. | Related Article »
