The claim
(能登半島地震)過去の津波映像や人工地震説
Original review summary
The review found that tsunami videos circulated as footage of the Noto Peninsula earthquake were actually from the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. It also found that a video presented as evidence of an artificial earthquake showed a 2021 U.S. Navy shock-trial test, and that another post used footage unrelated to the Noto earthquake.[S1]
Additional context
The earthquake struck on January 1, 2024, at about 4:10 p.m.; the review says tsunami waves exceeding 1.2 meters were observed at Wajima Port. [S1]
