    This is why you're not supposed to go outside in an earthquake. You're actually safest staying inside and above ground.

      It was mainly consisted of an earthquake and 3 aftershocks almost back to back. No matter how much criteria you use, we can't rival mother nature.

    • @16BitOG
      @16BitOG 2 дні тому

      @symonortega I was there when it happened. Buildings were falling after the first quake hit, there were 2. There was lots of news coverage about the CEOs of the companies that built the high rises and how they cut corners to pocket more money. Over 50k people died due to negligence. But yea, speak on something you know nothing about.

    • @Takerings
      @Takerings 20 годин тому

      No you can, and most of the damage wasnt because of the aftershock, the first wave Got the most civilian lives, the building were made my Lazy incompetent "enginners" who would risk 8 family of 4's life for 10k less matariel cost, it was not nature it was human error in every single unregulated building

    So in your example both options shown , the bridge does not collapse at all if it was not for the force of your hand. Always searching for a good engineer or 2. Not for deceiving "I want attention" queers.
