The New York earthquake was caused by an air powered oscillator producing mechanical vibrations on a steel post it was attached to. Not magnetic resonance as far as I know. He wasn't crazy, he was aspergers. Autistic.

Small correction, Nikola Tesla was Serbian and was born in today's Croatia. And the main difference between Serbs and Croats is that Serbs are Ortodox and Croats are Catholics. Tesla's father was Ortodox priest ;-) Also the Tesla's last wish was to be buried with most famos Serbian song "Tamo daleko". It's about home land Serbia. Today Teslas ashes are in Belgrade, Serbian capital. But on the end Tesla is too big to be claimed by any nation. Tesla is human kind finest!

Still called him Croatian >_<, oh well, the difference between Serbian and Croatian is kind of fuzzy I guess.
