 COMMENT:  Complex earthquake   
  observed on broadband         
  displacement seismograms, with
  at least two larger events    
  occurring about 3 and 8       
  seconds after the onset.      
  Depth from synthetics of      
  broadband displacement        
  seismograms based on 2nd      
  event.
