Living in Japan for the last few years I could attest that the eartquake intensity is wrongly neasured. If an earhqauke of that intensity occured for 40 seconds most of the buildings of Dhaka would have been collapsed. Some of my friends learn about the eartquake in news though they live in Dhaka. So I think the seismograph is providing wrong assesment.
