Chart of Earths major Earthquakes

All high fatality rates caused by major earthquakes researched and charted. In this chart the red line is the pre-Richter Scale measurements and estamated death toll. The green line is the post Richter Scale measurements and estamated death toll. The measurements Charted are for a death toll of above 100 or more people killed. what is not included in this chart are high magnitude shocks where there are no deaths, or deaths under 100 people. all pre-2008 data was cross referenced using 3 accredited reference books and confirmed through Internet sources. I found that some Internet sources were missing Data.

pointless.

@baredd79 Actually it is kinda pointless!! a total waste of two days work (if you ask me) gathering the data, writing the program and making a video of it, would I do it again? No, but the program came in handy, I sold it on to a local shop who uses it to analyze dvd rentals. Not a total loss!! :)
