Original Note:
The antipode of the recent M 7.6 event is along the northern coast of South America, approximately 8000 kilometers away from Gabon. There is no evidence for antipodal dynamic triggering at such large distances from the antipode. https://today.oregonstate.edu/news/research-finds-quakes-can-systematically-trigger-other-ones-opposite-side-earth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antipodes#/media/File:Antipodes_LAEA.png User's history of pseudoscience claims: https://www.vice.com/en/article/kz4jyz/earthquake-conspiracy-theorists-are-wreaking-havoc-during-emergencies https://www.inverse.com/science/earthquake-prediction-dutchsinse-holmquist-conspiracy
