I'm with you. There would have to have been an incredible blast or vibration to cause this Earthquake. Not saying they can't but creating this type of Earthquake and working how they imagined it would, is quite the task.
The 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens released thermal energy equivalent to a 26 megaton bomb. With very little earthquake. We don't have the means to release so much energy all at once, except in the largest thermonuclear devices (which are no longer in our inventory).
