Scientists are now saying that the \u201cBig One\u201d in California may not be caused by the San Andreas fault line, but by the Hayward Bay fault line. It is now thought to be the \u201cticking time bomb\u201d fault line and more dangerous than the San Andres.<\/p>\n

The scariest scenario for the next major earthquake may not be from the San Andreas Fault (though\u00a0that one still threatens<\/a>), but from the Hayward Fault that runs along the east side of the San Francisco Bay. In fact, many say that the next earthquake on the Hayward Bay fault line would be \u201cdisastrous.\u201d<\/strong> According toKTUV<\/em>,<\/a> a magnitude 7.0 earthquake along the Hayward Fault\u00a0<\/a>could kill as many as 800 people and\u00a0injure 18,000, according to results of a new research released Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Geological Survey, citing findings from a simulated tremor with an epicenter in Oakland, said the disaster would cause 400 fires that could destroy 50,000 homes. Nearly half a million people would be displaced, authorities said.<\/p>\n
