Gempa bumi sebesar ini di wilayah tersebut jarang terjadi namun bukan hal yang tidak terduga. Sebagian besar kegempaan di Maroko terkait dengan pergerakan pada batas lempeng tersebut, dengan bahaya seismik terbesar terjadi di bagian utara negara yang dekat dengan perbatasan tersebut. Maroko Utara terletak dekat dengan perbatasan antara Lempeng Afrika dan Lempeng Eurasia, Sesar Transformasi Azores-Gibraltar. Gempa bumi pada 8 September 2023 di dekat Oukaïmedene, Maroko, terjadi akibat patahan terbalik miring pada kedalaman dangkal di Pegunungan Atlas Tinggi Maroko, kira-kira 75 km barat daya Marrakesh. Gempa bumi terjadi pada kedalaman 19,0 km (12 mil), menurut Survei Geologi Amerika Serikat, atau 8 km (5,0 mil) menurut badan seismik Maroko, gempa berlangsung selama 20 detik. Pusat gempa terletak 71,8 km sebelah barat daya Marrakesh, berdekatan kota Ighil di kawasan Pegunungan Atlas, pada kedalaman dangkal 19 km (12 mi) dan berlangsung selama 30 detik. Gempa juga terasa hingga Portugal, Spanyol, dan Aljazair. Pemerintah Maroko mengumumkan lima hari hari berkabung nasional untuk menghormati para korban gempa.
Gempa berkekuatan Mw 6.8 ini merupakan yang terbesar di benua Afrika sejak Gempa bumi Aljazair tahun 1980 berkekuatan Mw 7.1 dan yang terbesar dalam sejarah Maroko. Pegunungan Atlas Tinggi memiliki berbagai sesar geser dan sesar dorong yang terpetakan, berarah ke timur-barat dan timur laut-barat daya. Zona strike-slip kanan-lateral ini menjadi transpresional di ujung timurnya, dengan berkembangnya patahan dorong yang besar. Di sebelah timur Selat Gibraltar, di Laut Alboran, batasnya menjadi tipe tumbukan. Gempa ini terjadi di Lempeng Afrika, sekitar 550 km sebelah selatan batas Lempeng Eurasia. Setelah gempa bumi, banyak negara menawarkan bantuan kemanusiaan. Seorang turis Perancis meninggal karena serangan jantung saat gempa bumi. Di lokasi gempa ini, lempeng Afrika bergerak sekitar 3,6 mm/tahun barat daya lempeng Eurasia. Jika pengirim siaran pers sudah mengenal nama wartawan sesuai bidangnya, tujukanlah pada wartawan tadi.

BATTLE-DAMAGED M113 GAVINS IN IRAQ Amazing what these 1,700 Gavins in Iraq are doing as-is without a dime of attention from the Army while it pours money down the rotten Stryker hole with 56 GDLS civilian contractors working overtime at $250,000-a-year salaries to keep 300 wheeled lemons running in a quiet part of Iraq. These 300 surviving Stryker lemons already need over $111 MILLION in repairs after just one sheltered tour of duty in Northern Iraq. What we could do if we up-armored deserving M113 Gavins instead of wasting billions on bullshit Strykers is clearly presented on this web page. Please read further. If this had been a Stryker its air-filled rubber tires eager to burn would have sent the vehicle up in flames. Kind of like how this Stryker in Mosul (see photo above) which was torched when its dismounts left it alone and blind along a restricted piece of terrain. See How the U.S. Army Air/Ground Armored Cavalry was organized: Mechanized Cavalry History 1945-Present However, in the aftermath of the Vietnam War, the institutional Army without visionary, thinker-doer, 2D/3D maneuver, egalitarian lead-by-example leaders like General Gavin to guide it, threw away the never-equalled combat cavalry capabilities of the 11th ACR and forced her many combat vets out of the service to enhance the careers of the heavy tankers in Europe who didn't see action in Vietnam and then tried to throw away their trusty mounts--- their light tracked M113s---in order to return to heavy tank destroyer dueling in Europe against the impending Soviet tank Army invasion. The Army should have developed the tracked tank even under a "quasi-Armored" branch---along two general paths; 2D "heavy" for armor versus armor combat and 3D "light" for a continuation of the Air/Ground Cavalry ethos through the 2nd, 3rd and 11th separate ACRs and a triple capability (TRICAP) 1st Cavalry Division instead of heavying up over 6 divisions and playing around with not-sound-for-combat, rubber-tired wheeled dune buggies in the 9th High Technology Test Bed Division at Fort Lewis, Washington. The Army already had the world's best rapidly C-130 air-deployable ground cavalry force in its M113A3 Gavin ACAV type units, it just needed to apply this force structure into the XVIII Airborne Corps via parachute forced-entry for the 82nd Airborne Division and up-engine its CH-47 Chinook helicopters to transport these light tracks for the 101st Air Assault Division. Unfortunately, Army decision-makers made a serious mistake in their analysis of the 1973 Yom Kippur War thinking the lesson learned was to just create very heavy tanks to survive at the platform-versus-platform level of combat; when the truth is that the Israelis overcame the enemy's surveillance strike system by COMBINING ARMS CAVALRY-STYLE via reorganized units and having a 3D air maneuver element project forces across the Suez Canal (water barrier). However, fighting a foe like the Soviets---essentially a mirror image of ourselves---is a lot easier in a top-down, blind obedience outfit than trying to outfight the wily and asymmetric VC/NVA in Vietnam or Arabs crossing the Suez Canal in a surprise offensive, which requires decentralized warfighting and trust and confidence in junior officers and enlistedmen. That the 11th ACR M113 light tracked ACAV-type units in Vietnam succeeded and beat the enemy in Vietnam at their own "asymmetric game" yet the Army leaders of the time unwisely refused to continue this formula for success is inexcusable. After making an American version of the WWII German heavy Tiger II 70-ton defensive tank (M1), Armor officers without a real branch doctrinal purpose decided they needed "security guards" so their tanks were not ambushed as they had to rearm/refuel constantly to feed their turbine engines and their main gun ammo to kill enemy tanks and collect notches on their gun tubes. Therefore, the Army created the "Bradley" machine gun, infantry-carrying 25-33 ton tank. Fed by paranoia about survivability against massed Soviet weapons fires, they doubled the M113 aluminum alloy armor hull thickness to get heavy machine gun protection and slapped a 2-man turret with 25mm cannon, 7.62mm medium machine gun and TOW anti-tank missiles---basically all the weaponry types they wanted for the Fulda Gap fight but couldn't fit onto the M1s which were maxed-out carrying tank-killing 105mm and later 120mm guns/ammo. In the process, they created an infantry carrier that cannot fly by C-130 or Army helicopters to get to a global fight in a hurry, cannot swim, cannot travel off-road without trepidation, is a huge target and can only carry 6-7 dismounts who are buttoned up deaf and blind in the back and cannot fight mounted like troops in M113s can. If the Army had listened to armored vehicle engineers they would have realized adding applique' armor to M113s with bigger engines would have achieved RPG-level protection without smothering vehicle air-transportability, swim capability and cross-country performance. Indeed, the stereotypical non-Airborne, non-Air Assault 2D "Legs" had taken over the Army and ruined it with a lust to fight wars in safe armored "cocoons" learning the wrong lessons from the 1973 Yom Kippur war----which is that MANEUVER through MOBILITY is the key to victory. To make matter worse, the Army created the M3 Cavalry Fighting Vehicle version of the M2 BFV simply to boost production numbers and soak up more budget share from Congress during the Reagen-era build-up. The M3 CFV and its brother, the M2 are not certified for parachute airdrop nor fly efficiently inside USAF C-17s to be airlanded---only 2 BFVs can fly at a time---the same disappointing number of less-capable but equally larged-sized 20-24 ton LAV-III/IAV "Stryker" armored cars that can fly at a time. Clearly, the U.S. Army made a mistake with the overweight M3 Cavalry Fighting Vehicle and should have instead at the very least continued the 11th ACR Vietnam ACAV-type force structure by upgrading M113s into highly air/sea/land mobile cavalry platforms guaranteeing that Army light forces had forced-entry armored firepower as well as an all-purpose combat and reconnaissance screening force for heavy units. Fortunately the Army's M1 and M2/M3 "cash cows" were so expensive and they could not afford to equip every unit, so the many M113s were transferred to the combat support units in an Army Heavy Division, constituting 50% of all its vehicles and insuring the vehicles are updated regularly. Thus, the Army is in a unique position today to correct a mistake it make in the early 1980s and create a global Cavalry and Combat Engineering tank force using available M113s, if the fatal replay of the bloated Bradley, the 20-24 ton LAV-III is cancelled as the Interim Armored Vehicle. Fortunately, today, U.S. Army officers are being led by world events to rediscover the capabilities and enduring design requirements of the mighty M113A3 which now serves with the U.S. Army's 173rd Airborne Brigade in Europe as a C-130 air-transportable rapid-reaction force. IDF M113s are again saving the day in the fight against global terrorism while the sexy air-filled rubber SUV-tired armored cars stay home away from the rough neighborhoods of combat and beg for more and more tax dollars to fix their endless faults.
