    based on 3 ratings
     | 15,880 views

    When Foundations Crumble There’s a saying among seismologists: “Earthquakes don’t kill people. Buildings kill people.” It’s not the enormous shock waves that cause most injuries and fatalities. It’s how the structures in which people live, work, and congregate react to those shock waves that ...read more
