1994 LSU Tigers football team
The 1994 LSU Tigers football team represented Louisiana State University in the 1994 NCAA Division I-A football season. LSU finished with a 4–7 overall record (3–5 in SEC play). It was Curley Hallman's final season as head coach, as he was fired with two games remaining in the season, although he coached those contests.


1994 LSU Tigers football team
The beginning of the end for Hallman came in the season's third game. LSU led an Auburn squad which went 11-0 in 1993 and won its first two games of 1994 under Terry Bowden 23-9 going into the final period, but lost 30-26 when Auburn returned three interceptions for touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Auburn won despite not scoring an offensive touchdown; its other touchdown came on a fumble return.


1994 LSU Tigers football team
Hallman's last home game as LSU coach came against his former employer, Southern Mississippi. Hallman was named LSU's coach in November 1990 after leading the Golden Eagles to 26 victories over three seasons, mostly on the strength of future Super Bowl winning quarterback Brett Favre. Southern Miss' 20-18 victory over LSU came in front of the smallest home crowd at Tiger Stadium since 1974. The paid attendance was 51,710, but most LSU officials placed the actual crowd in the neighborhood of 40,000.


1994 LSU Tigers football team
Three days after the loss to Southern Miss, LSU announced Hallman's firing. The Tigers closed the season with victories over Tulane and Arkansas, but Hallman still left Baton Rouge with the poorest record (16-28, .364) of any coach in school history.

1994 La Flèche Wallonne
Following the race, suspicion arose around the dominant performance of the Gewiss riders. Their team doctor, Michele Ferrari, was interviewed by French newspaper L'Equipe the morning after the race and asked about erythropoietin (EPO), a substance used for purposes of doping. Speaking about the dangers of EPO, Ferrari commented that he did not consider it more dangerous than "ten litres of orange juice".


1994 Labatt Brier
The 1994 Labatt Brier was held from March 5 to 13 at the Centrium in Red Deer, Alberta. Former Brier champion Rick Folk of British Columbia, who won the Brier in 1980 representing Saskatchewan, defeated Russ Howard of Ontario to win his second Brier title.

1994 Labour Party Shadow Cabinet election
Elections to the Labour Party's Shadow Cabinet took place in October 1994, at the beginning of the 1994/5 session of parliament. Under the rules then in effect, the Commons members of the Parliamentary Labour Party elected 18 members of the Official Opposition Shadow Cabinet, who were then assigned portfolios by the leader. The Commons members of the PLP separately elected the Chief Whip, and the Labour peers elected the Leader of the Opposition in the House of Lords.


1994 Labour Party Shadow Cabinet election
In addition, the Leader of the Labour Party and Deputy Leader (Tony Blair and John Prescott, respectively) were members by virtue of those offices. The 18 elected members of the Shadow Cabinet were the ones with the largest number of votes. MPs were required to vote for at least four women, but women were not necessarily guaranteed places in the Shadow Cabinet.


1994 Labour Party deputy leadership election
A deputy leadership election for the Labour Party in the United Kingdom took place in 1994, after the sudden death of incumbent leader John Smith. Margaret Beckett was the serving Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, having been elected in 1992, and following Smith's death became the acting leader. On 25 May she announced that a contest for the deputy leadership would take place alongside the leadership election, which allowed her to stand for both positions.


1994 Labour Party deputy leadership election
Nominations opened on 10 June and ballot papers were sent out on 30 June. Elections were held concurrently for both Leader and Deputy Leader of the Party, with the results announced on 21 July 1994. There were three candidates for Leader: Margaret Beckett, Tony Blair and John Prescott, but out of these three, only Blair did not simultaneously stand for Deputy Leader. Blair went on to win the leadership election, and Prescott won the deputy leadership. Both Prescott and Beckett held roles in Blair's cabinet for his entire time in office.


1994 Labour Party deputy leadership election, Result
The election was conducted using the Labour Party's new "electoral college" which gave a third of the votes to the party's MPs and MEPs, a third to its rank and file members (the CLP) and the final third to affiliated trade unions and societies, such as the Fabians.


1994 Labour Party leadership election
The 1994 Labour Party leadership election was held on 21 July 1994 after the sudden death of the incumbent leader, John Smith, on 12 May. Tony Blair won the leadership and became Prime Minister after winning the 1997 general election.


1994 Labour Party leadership election
The election was the first held under the new leadership election rules that had been introduced in 1993, which included an element of one member, one vote. The poll for leader was held simultaneously with a deputy leadership vote.


1994 Labour Party leadership election, Candidates
Margaret Beckett had been the Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, and following Smith's death was serving as acting leader; she was the first female Labour MP ever to stand for the leadership of the party (and remained the only such MP until Diane Abbott announced her candidacy for the 2010 leadership election). Tony Blair was, at the time of his candidature, the Shadow Home Secretary.


1994 Labour Party leadership election, Candidates
It has been widely speculated that Shadow Chancellor Gordon Brown did not stand due to a pact agreed with Blair at the Granita restaurant in Islington, North London. Shortly after John Smith's death, Roy Hattersley telephoned Blair and urged him to stand for the Party leadership.


1994 Labour Party leadership election, Candidates
Blair informed Hattersley that he was worried about "hurting Gordon" to which Hattersley replied that he should tell Gordon Brown that there had been "a lot of people in the past who had wanted to be leader of the Labour Party and have come to terms with the fact that they weren't going to be" and that Brown would have to be part of a line that "goes back a very long way".


1994 Labour Party leadership election, Candidates
However, in a MORI poll conducted shortly after Smith's death among all Labour supporters, Mr Blair took 32 per cent, Mr Prescott 21 per cent, Mrs Beckett and Mr Brown 12 per cent each, and Mr Cook 7 per cent, suggesting that Brown had little chance of winning anyway.


1994 Labour Party leadership election, Candidates
Robin Cook, the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry stated that he would not run, as he did not believe he was attractive enough to the general electorate and that this would damage the party at the next election. John Prescott, who had stood at the 1992 deputy leadership election and lost to Beckett, stood again for both leader and deputy leader.


1994 Labour Party leadership election, Candidates
The "electoral college" system that had been introduced meant that the votes of members of affiliated groups (mostly trades unions), the members of constituency parties, and Labour MPs were all weighted equally.


1994 Labour Party leadership election, Result
Tony Blair won, and led the party to its first general election victory for twenty-three years at the 1997 Election. Prescott won the deputy leadership poll, and went on to become Deputy Prime Minister during Blair's premiership. Beckett would also serve both in the Shadow Cabinet and then the Cabinet throughout Blair's term as leader, eventually becoming the last of the three Foreign Secretaries of the Blair ministries.


1994 Labour Party leadership election, Result
The next leadership election to take place occurred when Blair resigned in June 2007; this election was won by Gordon Brown, who ran uncontested.

1994 Lake Constance Cessna 425 crash
On 24 January 1994 a Cessna 425 crashed into Lake Constance with 5 people on board. 3 of them are confirmed killed, two are missing. The crash caused significant media attention due to a suspicion the aircraft might be transporting nuclear material which was later found untrue.


1994 Lake Constance Cessna 425 crash, The flight
The flight left Prague Ruzyne earlier that day with final destination Paris and an intermediate stop in St. Gallen Altenrhein. On board were pilot Rudi Wierschem, businessmen Josef Rimmele and Klaus Eichler (a former East German official), as well as two barmaids. Mr Rimmele had an outstanding arrest warrant by German authorities for tax evasion and fraud.


1994 Lake Constance Cessna 425 crash, Accident
In the evening of 24 January, an aircraft was reported missing just north of the Swiss city of Rorschach, above Lake Constance a few miles west of the airport of St. Gallen Altenrhein. Initial attempts to locate the aircraft in the lake had been delayed due to deteriorating weather. The aircraft was lifted from the lake on 8 February 1994. Analysis at the time was inconclusive as the flaps were in neutral position which was unexpected for a planned landing at the nearby airport or an intentional watering. One of the aircraft doors was found open with only 3 of the 5 expected passengers on board. The pilot, one of the barmaids and a dog have not been recovered.


1994 Lake Constance Cessna 425 crash, Accident, Legal significance
The case was discussed in the 1995 edition of the commentary to the Constitution of Bavaria. The authors concluded that lack of clarity of the border line in the lake would have resulted in ambiguity about which country's criminal courts would have had jurisdiction.


1994 Lake Constance Cessna 425 crash, Nuclear scare
During the time between the crash at the end of January and its recovery in early February, the biography of the business men on board caused for significant media attention and a scare that the aircraft might be transporting nuclear material. After recovery of the aircraft, no nuclear material was found. Had this been found to be true, the water supply in Switzerland, Germany and Austria and some important population centres along the river Rhine might have been at risk, hence the focus of attention.


1994 Lake Constance Cessna 425 crash, Nuclear scare
Mr Rimmele and Mr Eichler are said to have been under observation by authorities given their connection with Eastern European arms dealers and activities which included the sale and transport of low radioactive material in the past to Chinese buyers.


1994 Lakeside ATCC round
The 1994 Lakeside ATCC round was the fifth round of the 1994 Australian Touring Car Championship. It was held on the weekend of 22 to 24 April at Lakeside International Raceway in Brisbane, Queensland. The Peter Jackson Dash was discontinued for this round.

Peter Brock took his first pole position of the year and the second for the Holden Racing Team. Just one-tenth behind was John Bowe and two-tenths behind was team-mate, Tomas Mezera.


1994 Lakeside ATCC round, Race results, Race 1
A dramatic start to the first race saw Dick Johnson beating Glenn Seton off the start and a tangle between Brock and Longhurst, which subsequently led to their retirements from the race. With Longhurst blocking the circuit, the race was restarted. On the restart, Seton beat Johnson off the start, only to be passed by Johnson several laps later. As Seton started to struggle with tyres, a train of Bowe, Jones, and Perkins caught up with him.


1994 Lakeside ATCC round, Race results, Race 1
After trying to pass Seton down the bottom of the hill into the last corner, Bowe tagged the back of Seton, sending him into a spin. Bowe subsequently incurred damage, leading to a flat tyre. As he limped around the circuit, he was hit by Tomas Mezera on turn four. This catapulted Mezera into the guardrail, taking him out of the race and causing extensive damage to both cars. Up the front, it was a clean performance from Dick Johnson as he took his first race win of the season, with Perkins second and Jim Richards in third.


1994 Lakeside ATCC round, Race results, Race 2
After bogging down at the start, Johnson wasted his front row start and found himself in fourth by the end of the first lap. After a couple of laps, Johnson began to climb back up the order and began to chase down race leader, Perkins. Toward the middle of the race, Neil Schembri blew his engine, laying down a trail of oil down the hill into the final corner. The smoke plume left meant that some of the leading drivers couldn't see the oil.


1994 Lakeside ATCC round, Race results, Race 2
The first driver to spin out was Dick Johnson, followed by Alan Jones, and finally Wayne Gardner. Toward the end of the race, Jim Richards began to rapidly close in on the back of Perkins. Though it proved not be enough. Perkins took the win, with Richards in second and Brock in third after a storming drive from the back of the grid.

1994 Leeds City Council election
Differing wildly from the previous election, the results were reminiscent of Labour's landslide in the 1990 election, often producing enormous swings. Although falling short of their 1990 vote, Labour were able to win just as comfortably, helped by a significant collapse in Conservative support to a party low and third place in vote. The Lib Dems, who had also suffered a sharp reduction in vote at the last election, gained their highest vote since the merger, and surpassed the Conservatives for the first time. The scale of the Conservative defeat seen another first with their ousting into fourth place in a number of wards by the Liberals and Greens - the latter receiving their strongest result yet, winning just under a fifth of the vote in Wortley.


1994 Leeds City Council election
With the seats last fought at the 1990 election, where the Labour tide had swept everywhere but the northern Conservative-Lib Dem heartlands, Labour's nearest attempt at a gain was found in Roundhay, with the party narrowing the Tory majority there to just 564 votes. The Lib Dems came closest, but despite running the Conservatives close in North and Labour in Pudsey South and Weetwood, they were unable to capitalise and steal a fourth seat. As a result, there were no change in seats.

Five Palestinians were arrested in London in January 1995 in connection with the bombings.

They were sentenced to 20 years in jail, and lost their appeal in 2001.


1994 London Israeli Embassy bombing, Aftermath
Former MI5 agent David Shayler stated that the British security services were warned of a plan to attack the embassy in advance, yet took no action. The Crown Prosecution Service later confirmed a warning had been received, though it related to a plan by a group unconnected to those who were convicted of the bombing. The Home Secretary at the time, Jack Straw, said that Shayler's interpretation of events was understandable, but concluded that MI5 still could not have prevented the bombing.

There was no direct evidence linking the suspects to the bombing. Another woman involved in carrying out the bombing has never been found. In the course of the trial, both suspects did admit that they had conducted experiments using home made explosives in order to pass information back to Palestinians in the occupied Palestinian territories. Botmeh and Alami were convicted of the charges in December 1996, receiving 20-year sentences.

The 1994 Los Angeles Rams season was the franchise's 57th season in the National Football League, their 58th overall, and their 49th and final in the Greater Los Angeles Area until their 2016 relocation back to Los Angeles. After nearly 50 years in the Greater Los Angeles Area, including 15 seasons at Anaheim Stadium, owner Georgia Frontiere announced that the team would relocate to St. Louis, Missouri on January 15, 1995. While the owners initially rejected the move, permission was eventually granted therefore bringing an end to Southern California's first major professional sports franchise until 2016.


1994 Los Angeles Rams season
The threat of relocation dominated talk about the Rams from early in the offseason right up to the moment the move was announced and it had a major effect on the franchise's standing in the market. Average attendance for Rams games at Anaheim Stadium was at an all-time low (an average of 43,312 a game) as ownership negotiated with both Baltimore and St. Louis. Leigh Steinberg organized a group known as “Save the Rams” and attempted to reach out to ownership and strike a deal to keep the team in the Southern California market, however, their efforts proved to be unsuccessful.


1994 Los Angeles Rams season
On the field, the Rams continued their downward spiral and missed the postseason for the fifth consecutive season. Los Angeles only won four games and clinched their fifth losing season in a row on December 4 against the New Orleans Saints and finished the season on a seven-game losing streak. The Rams defense saw some glimmers of hope, shutting out Joe Montana’s Chiefs and putting together solid performances against Arizona and New York, but it was not nearly enough to lift the Rams back to the .500 mark. At the end of the season, head coach Chuck Knox was fired after three consecutive last place finishes in the NFC West and Frontiere also relieved John Shaw of his General Manager duties, although he remained with the team as a high-ranking executive.


1994 Los Angeles Rams season, Game Summaries, Week 11
The final meeting between the two Southern California rivals ended in a close 20–17 victory for the Raiders in Anaheim. The Los Angeles Rams and the Los Angeles Raiders only met five times as cross-town rivals with the Rams finishing with a 1–4 record against the Raiders. The games, however, were generally very close with only one of the meetings being decided by more than one score (the Raiders' 16–6 victory in 1985). The 1994 meeting was a back and forth affair that eventually saw the Raiders ice the game away with a pair of field goals in the fourth quarter.


1994 Los Angeles Rams season, Game Summaries, Week 12
This was the last meeting between the Rams and 49ers as California rivals until 2016 and it ended with the eventual Super Bowl champion 49ers on top with a 31–27 final. While the meeting between the two rivals in Anaheim was not very close, the 1994 meeting at Candlestick Park was a very close affair to close out the Los Angeles-San Francisco rivalry. The 49ers jumped out to an early 14–3 lead and held a 21–6 lead at halftime, the Rams, however, came storming back in the second half, outscoring San Francisco 21–10.


1994 Los Angeles Rams season, Game Summaries, Week 12
Los Angeles was able to take the lead in the fourth quarter on a 22-yard pass play by Chris Miller, but the 49ers responded with a touchdown drive of their own to take a 31–27 advantage.

1994 Los Angeles Rams season, Game Summaries, Week 13
Week thirteen saw the final meeting between the Los Angeles Rams and the San Diego Chargers. The Rams jumped out to a 14–6 lead in the first half, but Los Angeles was unable to hold off the eventual AFC Champion Chargers and fell 31–17. After the season, the Chargers ended up having the entire Southern California megaregion to themselves after the Rams and the Raiders vacated the Los Angeles market—an arrangement that would not be changed until 2016, when the Rams relocated to Los Angeles. Los Angeles was also mathematically eliminated from the NFC West race during week 13 after its loss to San Diego and with San Francisco improving to 8–2 on the next day on Monday Night Football.

After a season full of rumors of the franchise’s inevitable relocation, the fan base had withered down to next to nothing and two high school football games at Anaheim Stadium drew larger crowds than the announced attendance for the Rams’ week 17 game.


1994 Los Angeles Rams season, Game Summaries, Week 17
Many fans spent the game chanting expletives and hurling insults and owner Georgia Frontiere and the City of St. Louis—“Save the Rams” founder Leigh Steinberg attempted to discuss keeping the Rams in Southern California, but Rams executives were nowhere to be found. The game was a close affair with the hapless Washington Redskins and despite being favored by 3.5 points, Los Angeles ended up falling by three points to end 49 seasons of Los Angeles Ram football. They would subsequently return to Los Angeles in 2016 after experiencing similar issues in St. Louis as they previously did in Los Angeles.


1994 Los Angeles Rams season, Relocation to St. Louis
By 1995, the Los Angeles Rams has withered to a mere shadow of their former self. Accusations and excuses were constantly thrown back and forth between the Rams’ fan base, ownership, and local politicians. Many in the fan base blamed the ownership of Georgia Frontiere for the franchise’s woes, while ownership cited the outdated stadium and withering fan support for the problems that were plaguing the Rams. On March 15, 1995, the National Football League owners rejected Ms. Frontiere’s bid to move the franchise to St. Louis, Missouri, her native city, by a 21–3–6 vote, with the Raiders abstaining. Then-Commissioner Paul Tagliabue stated after rejecting the move that


1994 Los Angeles Rams season, Relocation to St. Louis
This was one of the most complex issues we have had to approach in years. We had to balance the interest of fans in Los Angeles and in St. Louis that we appreciate very much. In my judgment, they did not meet the guidelines we have in place for such a move.


1994 Los Angeles Rams season, Relocation to St. Louis
Once the bridges have been burned and people get turned off on a sports franchise, years of loyalty is not respected and it is difficult to get it back. By the same token, there are millions of fans in that area who have supported the Rams in an extraordinary way. The Rams have 50 years of history and the last 5 or so years of difficult times can be corrected.


1994 Los Angeles Rams season, Relocation to St. Louis
Frontiere, however, responded with a thinly veiled threat at a lawsuit and the NFL owners eventually acquiesced to her demands, weary of going through a long, protracted legal battle. Tagliabue simply stated that “The desire to have peace and not be at war was a big factor” in allowing the Rams move to go forward. In a matter of a month, the vote had gone from 21–6 opposed to 23–6 in favor, with the Raiders again abstaining.


1994 Los Angeles Rams season, Relocation to St. Louis
Jonathan Kraft, son of Patriots owner Robert Kraft, elaborated on the commissioners remarks by saying “About five or six owners didn’t want to get the other owners into litigation, so they switched their votes.” Only six teams remained in opposition to the Rams move from Los Angeles: the Pittsburgh Steelers, New York Giants, New York Jets, Buffalo Bills, Arizona Cardinals (who played in St. Louis from 1960-87), and Washington Redskins. After the vote was over, Dan Rooney publicly stated that he opposed the move of the Los Angeles Rams because

I believe we should support the fans who have supported us for years.

The game resulted in the National League defeating the American League 8–7 in 10 innings. It was the National League's first win since 1987.

The AL got on the board quickly against starting pitcher Greg Maddux. Boggs singled with one out and went to third on Griffey's double in the left center field gap. Frank Thomas the hit a sinking line shot off the glove of Tony Gwynn in center which scored Boggs and moved Griffey to third. But Maddux escaped the jam by stabbing Joe Carter's line drive up the middle and then throwing to first to double off Thomas who had taken off for second. In the bottom of the first the NL got to starter Jimmy Key with a double into the left field corner by the Cardinals' Gregg Jeffries and a sac fly by Barry Bonds who was booed lustily by his former fans in Pittsburgh.


1994 Major League Baseball All-Star Game, Game, Game summary
The NL, who had been dominated in the All Star Games the last 2 years, appeared to be pulling away in the third inning against that season's AL Cy Young Award winner David Cone (of the Royals). Pinch hitter Jeff Bagwell hit a one-out single, Jeffries was hit by a pitch, and Tony Gwynn ripped a double into the right field corner scoring both runners (Jeffries just barely getting around the tag of catcher Pudge Rodriguez). After Bonds struck out, the Dodgers' Mike Piazza hit a two-out single scoring Gwynn to increase the margin to 4–1.

The first-place Expos' Ken Hill kept the AL off the scoreboard for two innings. However, in the 6th, the vaunted AL lineup broke through against Doug Drabek. Roberto Alomar singled to center, stole second, and scored on a Griffey hit (his second RBI of the night). Even though Griffey was tagged out in a rundown after his hit, the inning continued with a two-out rally. Frank Thomas singled, then came around to score thanks to an errant throw from Matt Williams on a ground out by Joe Carter. Carter then came home on a hit by the prior year's All-Star game MVP Kirby Puckett.

With the scored tied 4–4, the NL retaliated immediately the next half-inning when the Expos' Marquis Grissom sliced a home run down the right field line off Randy Johnson. Later in the inning, with a runner on and one out, the Pittsburgh crowd roared but then exhaled when the slap-hitting veteran Ozzie Smith nearly hit another home run off the Big Unit – missing the left field foul pole by a few feet.


1994 Major League Baseball All-Star Game, Game, Game summary
It all appeared to unravel for the NL in the 7th, clinging to their now slim one-run lead. Astros closer John Hudek quickly gave up a single to Pudge and a walk to Mickey Tettleton. Then the Twins' Chuck Knoblauch looked to have a sure single on the AstroTurf through the left side, but Ozzie Smith made a spectacular diving stop and fired to second for the force play. The play, though, only temporarily halted the AL uprising as veteran Danny Jackson came in to relieve and got knocked around. He allowed a run-scoring double by the Red Sox third baseman Scott Cooper and a 2-run single by the Indians' Kenny Lofton.


1994 Major League Baseball All-Star Game, Game, Game summary
The NL looked to be running out of time thanks to scoreless innings by AL pitchers Pat Hentgen of the Blue Jays and Wilson Álvarez of the White Sox. In the 9th the AL brought in veteran closer Lee Smith who had resurrected his dominant stuff one last time with the Orioles that season. He quickly walked Marquis Grissom to lead off. Then got Craig Biggio to hit a sharp grounder to third baseman Scott Cooper at third. However, Cooper double clutched ever so slightly and the AL just missed turning the double play on Biggio. This allowed Fregosi to pinch-hit slugger Fred McGriff, who he had saved up, to come to the plate as the tying run. The Crimedog promptly drove a Smith's splitter into the centerfield stands to tie up the game in dramatic fashion.

In the 10th the NL quickly went to work on AL reliever Jason Bere of the White Sox. Gwynn chopped a single through the box with no one out. The Expos' Moisés Alou then slammed a double that short-hopped the left center field wall. Gwynn was waved all the way home from first base and slid just under Pudge Rodriguez's tag to end the game.

Prince George's County Executive Parris Glendening emerged victorious from the Democratic primary after defeating several candidates. Former State Delegate Ellen Sauerbrey, who would also be the 1998 Republican nominee for Governor, won her party's nomination. The election between Glendening and Sauerbrey was extremely contentious; the Sauerbrey campaign challenged the results. Ultimately, Glendening prevailed over Sauerbrey.


1994 Mascara earthquake
The 1994 Mascara earthquake occurred on August 18 at 02:13 local time with an epicenter in the Tell Atlas. Despite the moderate size of the earthquake, measuring 5.9 on the moment magnitude scale, and 5.6 on the local magnitude scale, it caused the deaths of 171 people and left 8,000 to 10,000 homeless. Reaching a maximum intensity of VIII (Damaging) on the MSK 64 scale, the earthquake was far more devastating for its size, destroying or damaging many homes.


1994 Mascara earthquake, Tectonic setting
The People's Democratic Republic of Algeria located in Northwest Africa is situated near a complex and poorly defined convergent plate boundary which separates the African Plate from the Eurasian Plate. The converging plates create a zone of compression in northern Algeria, which are accommodated by mainly thrust and reverse faults onshore and inland. Thrusting of strata due to compression results in the formation of the Atlas Mountains in Algeria and Morocco. The tectonic situation of Algeria also make the country vulnerable to large and deadly seismic events with magnitudes greater than 6.0. The offshore thrust faults also pose a tsunami threat to the Algerian coast during large earthquakes.


1994 Mascara earthquake, Earthquake
The earthquake occurred as a result of oblique–reverse faulting. The focal mechanism calculated by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre suggest strike-slip and reverse components during the earthquake. Based on the epicenter location and depth of the earthquake, the event is inferred to have occurred at the junction of two reverse faults, with either one of them rupturing and producing the quake. The first fault is an east–west striking structure identified as an old reverse structure that is now an active dextral-slip fault. The other fault has a northeast-southwest strike and with a reverse slip sense.

No surface ruptures were observed during a field survey after the earthquake, however, cliff failures and rockfalls were found.


1994 Mascara earthquake, Impact
On August 19, 1994, the New York Times reported that at least 150 people had been killed, 300 injured and between 8,000 and 10,000 were left homeless. It was reported that the worst damage inflicted by the earthquake was in the rural villages where many mud-constructed homes had collapsed, killing or injuring individuals who were residing in them.


1994 Mascara earthquake, Impact
Because the earthquake occurred in the early morning, many residents were killed in their sleep due to collapsing homes. Most of the individuals killed were caught off-guard after being awaken and buried under rubble from their collapsing homes. The remaining frightened survivors decided to spend the rest of the morning in the streets for fear than further aftershocks may collapse their already damaged dwellings.

Eventually, a report released in November 1994 revised the death toll to 171, with a further 645 injured, 286 in critical condition. In just 12 seconds, the Mw  5.9 earthquake caused tremendous damage in the rural towns and villages, making 10,000 to 12,500 people from over 1,300 families homeless. A total of 2,000 houses and ten schools were seriously affected or collapsed.


1994 Mascara earthquake, Impact
The village of Shadlia alone accounted for 105 of the 171 fatalities in the earthquake. Also in this village, along with Hacine and Sidi Ali Cherif, the earthquake completely wiped out all homes and public structures. The village of Wilaya lost at least 50% of all buildings due to the tremor. A large number of farming facilities are also destroyed or damaged. In Hacine village, a pertol station and town hall building was undamaged, however, aging structures and ten schools built on small support columns suffered cracks or severe damage.


1994 Mascara earthquake, Impact
In the city of Oran in Oran Province, located 75 km northwest of the earthquake, the shock was felt strong enough to cause some cracks in buildings. Based on the evaluation of damage to structures and they type of structures that were damaged, the maximum intensity of this earthquake was assigned VIII on the Medvedev–Sponheuer–Karnik scale.
