wow. This horrible. I really hope they rebuild with better precautions. Maybe take a look at how other nations create buildings with a little bit better earthquake resistant designs. California has some really good solutions. |
Well, I heard the ground cracked up at some places..I know you can protect buildings against tremblings but against ground that cracks open? |
You have to realize that Wuhan isn't at the epiccentre.. in fact, it's not even in the same province, there's absolutely no reason for the ground to crack open there. Building quality is a HUGE issue there. Government official often (well, most of the time) take bribes and hires companies to use much less than capable materials for kickbacks. Welcome to Communism. |
This has nothing to do with communism bro, bribes happen probably in every country. It is not so easy to protect buildings to earthquakes. Look to Japan it is probably the n°1 in creating anti-Earthquakes buildings but still a lot went down with the earthquake in Kobe.

Does every country have the same magnitude of briberies as those you see in China? Or does every country suppress the flow of information as China?
Yeah, I think it does have a lot to do with Communism. When a building collapsed when it shouldn't have, hundreds died due to bad worksmanship, those aren't natural disaster. Those are preventable. |
Look to the vid I posted. They mention in the video that bridges/buildings collapsed who were made for anti-earthquake purposes and they still fail and then we are speaking about Japan who is probably the n°1 in anti-earthquake technology.
People forget that when a building is trembling it can also collapse by other things like fire...All those TV's/computers/Radio's will fall on the ground and their is a high possibility that they create a fire , a fire that can collapse a building...
