The 2009 West Java earthquake was a 7.0 magnitude earthquake that occurred on September 2, 2009 at 14:55 local time in West Java, Indonesia, killing at least 79 people, injuring over 1,250, and displacing over 210,000 (including more than 140,000 in Tasikmalaya regency). The quake was felt in the capital Jakarta although damage there was minimal. At the time it was Indonesia's deadliest earthquake since 2006.The earthquake's focus lies close to the major fault plane where the Indo-Australian Plate is being subducted beneath the Eurasian Plate. However, the focal mechanisms determined for this event shows reverse faulting at a high angle to the trend of the subduction zone and it has been suggested that the cause was deformation within the descending slab.
