I was looking at the maps for this on the USGS site and thought that the location of the blast cant be that accurate surely?
Image from the BBC showing the location of the blast on a satellite image:

It looks like the crater (crater! wow this was huge) was almost exactly where USGS plotted it to be, like down to a couple of meters.
Are the earthquake sensors that are in use really this so specifically accurate?
