These impacts are similar to what geologists have found about other big meteorite impacts and what was suspected for S2.

Previously Rolling Hills helped monitor land movement and passed that geological information along to residents, particularly in the 1980s, when land movement in the Flying Triangle landslide area was detected by Los Angeles County geologists.

Mike Phipps, the city’s contracted geologist, said that overall movement had started to naturally decelerate in August for the first time in months, probably because there hadn’t been rain in the last five months.

Some geologists not involved in the study said the theory was plausible but there was much in the research that was still uncertain.

A Malaysian geologist, speaking to local newspaper Malaysiakini, attributed it to the ongoing search and rescue operation.
