I live in the, in a couple months or 6, this ones, the smallest her mom suffice to claim the name. On february 6th, 2023 massive us creeks devastated south eastern touch east has holly problem. Huffman disc, essentially the one rescue lives, and thats a turnaround. Has to change on the list for many People Health arrived too late to dissolve the claim to more than 50000 lines. My name is nissan because i live in germany with my daughter and pop, nothing work as an actress. But i was born here in east on the city of my childhood will always be the place i call home. But that home is in grave danger. Its threatened by the same fate which devastating disease in his high and major us creek dissolves to could strike eastern will any day. The no, no. Im going to stumble, visiting my best friend bush. She knows both hi, uncle and her aunt and have time to to my kind of a name and mama. Heres what happened to them. I woke up in the morning the a friend had stayed the night and told me there was an earthquake and had to hide that not to me. Then she goes to message from her cousin and the what type of proof in for the cost on this happened. It says i just escaped from the rubble of my house and my parents are still there and it comes and knocked. I hear my mother screaming line, we cant get out as homeland house viruses, relatives live, and im talk, you know, one of the cities west ravaged by the quick at full 17 am local time on february 6th. The 7. 8 magnitude us quick struck the regions like many. Her cousins immediately ran out into the street to help others. But then another powerful trema started for 28. 00 am. The parents were buried below debris. Ready the siblings were powerless. Tons of concrete separation at them from the parents. For 2 days they heard the mothers desperate cries until her voice fell clients they had to in deal with the reality that as temperatures dropped to 0, the parents had frozen to death. Pinned down by the rubble already let him. But you were filled with 3 score were scared. Were worried that were devastated was the fact that were so powerless to do anything and rages us on it. We cant express our sorrow. Yeah. No one can on board though. Its easy to talk when youre here or this, but those of us who are here cant truly understand what happened there in that. Thats why im a shame to say im from head to i leave and that im hurting ableton. Im a shame to say that i lost my relatives or because i had the privilege to be here by monday to get to lock the foundation. I have known each other since the children but then we lived in place here. And country k, a district of east dunbar. And this is our childhood playground. The best hit us at the 1999 as quick hits we come to you with our neighbors. That was in summer on the 17th of august, 1999. A severe, a quick struck southeast of eastern bull, resulting the death of maybe 20000 people. Even though the center of the us quake was some 80 kilometers away from here. We felt the ground shake and our house is russell. My mother works me off and we run outside for the next few days. We come tail on this playground. Today, the danger of the big creek is ever present. And im increasingly concerned for my home city. And its residence because of its eastern bowl is the largest city in talking with an official population of about 60000000. 00. Its bigger than either london or paris. And its estimated that the real number of residents is close to to 20000000. Talk hes difficulty cannot make situation is driving more people out of the country side and into the city. You stumble is the economic costs of the country and us creek here matching the magnitude, which is the one that struck South Eastern Turkey was spelled as off to for the whole country. Mister hustle and bustle of everyday life, you might think its easy to lose sight of the danger. But thats not actually the case. Many people here all deeply afraid. I talked to whos saying the own of a souvenir shop. He was a volunteer and how tight in the us creek so. So what would be to them to be sure. Its, of course, a difficult time. All of us are preparing for a major earthquake and its denver. I mentioned were expecting it to and i have a camper van in front of my house because of it and, and trying to spend more time outside in nature to the submissions. So many people feel the way through saying does they live under constant threats, this mold and vibrant since he is in danger . So how imminent isnt us quite dissolved. And what comes to quinn says, well just have 4 eastern bull and its residents. In the cafe on the outskirts of you stumble, i meet with one of tuck, hes most well known geologist. Professor, now g. Good for he is the scientist has been sounding the alone without impending us quakes, including the one that struck South Eastern Turkey. Which even when there was a small quake in february, 3rd, in the southeast, in osmani, in the media, asked me about that. And i said, forget about us, man, you look at my rush. Im concerned about my rush. That was 3 days before the huge click on february 6th. In high tide, the level of teaching students just an, as a couple of at a mazda of quake would strike the hatch. I region in south west kentucky. Its difficult to even conceive of water quake of this magnitude would do to east denver, but just like the house all the problems, eastern bullshit. So top tectonic reactive ground, meaning its prone to us, quakes to the cheer unlocked. If the motion the new turkey is one of the most technically active areas on this planet, and thats why so many earthquakes occur in our country. And most of the day its due to the natural movements of the tectonic plates in our region. The dog fun. Yeah. That is the a need a visible, the depth them letting the glass feel. The turkey lines on the, on a totally relate to the north is the region plates. The radium plates and pushes from the south east, moving the on a totally and plates westward. These active plates boundaries are called fonts, default in the north and follows most of its energy from east to west. Thats why theres been so many magnitude 7 earthquakes throughout the 20th century of the moving west towards stumble. And thats why the mom or a c office stumble would be the site of the next earthquake and itd be the machine had the funding. They get to be able to just non g, g, a and many other experts. Its perfectly clear is dental and its millions of residents are facing a deadly disaster. The a mega us clay could strike at any time. And the likelihood of that happening increases with each posting. Yeah. Is there anything that east unable limits people can do . All these simply at the mercy of nature. I meet with the spanish scientist who is investigating this very question, size smaller, just pepsi. See, im asking us goes all the, shes based at the job and Research Center for geosciences g s that didnt post them with her projects. Quite content. Shes typing house of best to detect signs of us quakes before they hit the at the moment. This is one of the most challenging questions the new processing techniques, whether this caused the big data so that we are able to process the efficiency vast amounts of data at the same time. Give us a new, the new cases that maybe before were not the police the, im not seeing those gonzalez searching for previously undetected passions in size make recordings i accompany her to the tiny island of simply all the to find out more around, you stumbled the tuck is dissolves to enter Emergency Management to storage, the assets, and the good. How feels how to network of seismic stations on steve lee. Although we meet phyllis to buy cuddly, old low from outside. He asked the depth of 300 me says that you send records the tiniest move and so the crust is, is it . Yes. And the here we have basically 3 the logos which basically receives the date that that is coming from the instrument and compare that to digital. And then we did on speed the data with this modem that has internet with it and submitted it on most real time to our colleagues aside. The 3rd piece does us and when its meant president s it in on kyra, and from there they send this to us almost in real time through the do you have said, whats them if the center of a major us quake was to be located near the size make station eastern bold could be willing to ahead of the 1st waves. Then thatd be 5 seconds to secure critical infrastructure. Closing bridges, shutting down power plants, switching traffic lights to red and halting trains. Books, 5 seconds is not nearly enough time for the people who are inside buildings to get to safety. If a warning could be given earlier, it could save thousands of lives. Here off the coast to be stumble and the g is building up as pub ccr, matching those goals, all explains. And then with our, which it was with our research. We tried so that the mind whether the fault is locked and it costs a higher to potential for a very low tech quickles, monday through 7. 00 or more or the for the is creeping. And that would mean that the 2 sides of the falls are slightly sliding and not posting that much energy, and therefore they are as quick, but theres a little bit smaller. So the extent of the danger eastern role is facing depends on the behavior of the fault. And the mom, the receipt is to fold creeping or is it locked and consigned to the tub and the also using seismic technology. Thats the see. Im not, you know, go so and her colleagues are investigating these questions, some 200 kilometers, east of you stumble. Easement potshot in northern turkey, also lawyers on the newest on attorney in fault zone. But here its been proven that the tectonic plates are creeping. Its the end of march as an altitude of 1200 meters, its cold from minus 5 to minus 10 degrees celsius. The science makes station setup by alpha m g of said still need to be maintained. The geosciences have to swap out the batteries and storage devices 2. 00 to 3. 00 times a year. This time its the g f, thats time. Aside from routine maintenance, the teen checks whether the station is detecting seismic signals and recording them correctly. The measuring device is function independently of the power thread. This one shows they can record the movements all again alone without interruption. The size make stations are installed along the north on a totally and folds. Sometimes they can be found near symmetry, protected in the community, who or as, as the case here, located in the back should, doesnt most, with the permission of local officials. The less than ideal weather conditions have to date the team from the job and Research Center for geosciences. But cc on her colleagues were hoping the weather would be mild and now the spring of 2 months away. That anxious to find out if the station is still operational. Yeah, so yeah, it looks like we have uh we have a biggest bike which um might be okay, so just to say okay, so here we have it saves me to station on the 1st of uh month. But this is a very narrow room in which it is predicted, and the data is being collected, then there is the instrument and the data is send inside this box. Where do we have the data longer . Where we come back from, look through the data as well as there are, there is a now we have connected the computer where we can visualize the data that is coming in and collect the data from the previous models. Thing you see now here you have a nice click the the region, the easement passes. One of the few places on us where tectonic plates are creeping cost. Each of the scientists want to measure this movement as precisely as possible. Thats why theyre installing g p. S. Supports of tracking devices on both sides of the folds, which can register even the smallest of movements. Motion the and when you look at the rocks, usually the green. These green rocks are stuck on pines. Uh if i said with a steve 60, due to slow motion to creep. Amazing. Yeah, uh, so he said the rocks that make this was the slow. Yeah. These uh, green roads are set up on vines type on times and nothing means to make or something. Hm. Yeah, so ive been to, yeah, this is, these are all kind of very low friction. Mm hm. So default is continues ongoing. Yes. Research as know that creeping Plate Movement impacts the risk of an us quick, but they dont yet know exactly how understanding more could help. Lesser recess is done those, those quick risk. Thats why this research, just so crucial police the motion is goes all and her colleagues wants to be able to identify the size, make signature of a creeping folds, then they can better evaluate the folds near you stumble. This was the spot where both discovered that the tech tonic plates were creeping, pulsed each other. This rule was built in the 1950s. Every year, the movements of tech, tonic plates, results and one half of the world moving about to send 2 men to the side. Okay, so here its the amount of displacement seems might be by now its been displaced probably about some meter. This will, may seem somewhat unremarkable, but in terms of us Quick Research, it was a very special find. This type of flow script. Ok, theres been very special, a very unique places in the work. And in particular, where we are here, basement special segments of the nurse, and i told them full is one of the best, the places the one of the disciples behavior visit. Theres like a temple, yes. For sciences here, dealing with the creep and active tectonics. This creepy or was discovered in 1969 about 919 years after the 1st discovery of describe them on the inside address for your student kind of in europe. Yes. Is it your asian side . Yes. So this is the play bundle. In fact. Yeah. So we have to spend the right amount of both of the boundary boundaries, bundle and re between to the not the regime plate. And here the asian gate. Normally days of say the phones are lock due to friction and accumulate this the train and these doing to visit the far so it so we basically spending on the width of the month. So thats the see. Im not seeing those guns on you. Yeah. Jim chuck, you are standing right on the phone line here, the just on the totally and then your region plates has been moving past each other from 8 to 12000000 years in the past of this movement is happening relatively continuously but further to the west towards the stumble, its a different story. There are many signs that the tech tongue it creates a look south of the city. More and more energy is building up here a year after year. History indicates that this energy is released at intervals of about 250 years. The last page of christ, the nissan boulevard 15091766. So if i that math, another big us quite because actually over to you, the scientists in germany are investigating just how great the threats the city is. The i visit the g s that in post on the institute slip, etc. See, im not seeing those goals all works. This as well as Quick Research is happening at the highest level. Its here that i learn just how dynamic front of us is below its surface. The cross just constantly in motion. In many places, the continents are being pushed further and further apart. Liquid magma is continuously rising from the us, the interior pushing existing cross to the side. And some areas, for example, themselves, americas west coast. These processes also happening in the opposite direction. The are she on the crust, and the continental crust actually pushed against each of the crust is broken up like puzzle pieces, into many different plates. At the plate boundaries, the rocks of rub against each other into look, im detached again. The g a says experimental rock to summation the power tree is led by a recruit. Becky, the g s. Business system, his team use High Pressure presses to recreate us. Natural processes are getting, its my end is a press one. Now never mind, how does were moving to the press now well take a hard rock like this and put it inside the press on this and then well load it actually until it breaks. So now well go over here. Ill open the glass, paying for you, and if you could please place the stone in between these 2 stam, dots missing sparrows twisting the might in stanford. Eric are back. He wants to show me how hall dropped behaves in the folds of his colleague slowly increases the pressure of the press until it reaches 18 tons the of the blankets. Lots of tiny pieces of chips, the sample would stood very high stress levels. We were now at about 220. 00 mega pass scouts, which is a lot of field is that one was a very solid sample that ended fractured into a lot of little pieces, either kind of took a sticker to fall from the gun. So if you let such samples slide past one another, like what happens deep down in a sheer zone is then you produce a lot of small to rotate pieces. But thats called couch. And a few in class in the sub surface they rub past each other and you get jerking move. I mean i know for bias not funds of oh god taking the baby. Molten rocks react totally differently to the movements of the cross. They behave more like this modeling clay it seems like the us Quick Research has borrowed an idea or 2 from the playground. In the modeling lab, i am helping geologist eyes on cause our recess open experiments. It will help me visualize movements on the north, on a totally unfold straight. Yes. And for the last time in the model, the assembly is at the bottom. I pushed to the left one. In other words, westwood, just like the totally implants. And they could be down the skinny to the if you something there. So it meant to skate into now. And also you said to just go process in nature takes thousands to millions of years down the skids with enough to municipal all that. So we can understand the process behind to a physical process. Thats the idea behind in the some books experiments that i know totally in place is represented on the right. The model reveals whats been happening on the newest, on the totally, and falls over the costs of millions of years. Although the movement is only from side to side, the sand is rising and falling at the boundary between the 2 plates. Its possible this type of movement is what forms the mom or a scene is denver because of the interaction between small segments of falls. Now you can also see that some parts are subsiding, theyre going down some parts of it comes 50. So its not on the horizontal displacement, you have also some because thats coming up. Exactly coming up uplifting in some far its going down some sizing. The model makes me acutely aware of how the Plate Movements will inevitably affect calculator. Because this movement is not going to stop, the totally implants will continue to drift. Westwood generating tremendous power. The as more and more pressure builds up near you stumble. This impending stress is what drives scientist like pepsi c. I martinez goes off to keep gathering as much knowledge as possible the song, as muller just seizes every opportunity to learn more about the tectonic processes that she wants to goes to the quick soon. And how sign the scientist travels from east on the least, was to hold some takia, one of the cities most impacted by the creek in february, the along the road to the south taco, so far as he says, sets of 10 cities, people who could not leave the crate, so it has been sheltering here on the journey. Patricia matching those goals all makes use of every spend Movement Working on a paper about the dangers facing east denver. Her 1st stop is a field near on takia the shes able to witness 1st tend to bruce or force and us create count on these tacos, john, and this guy come and im shows hun olive grove near the sea. Yeah. Its the real oh wow. Look at these beautiful, this is of the following, the twigs, the us slew oceans here. The fisher now spends a length of several 100 meters. This is pursued at the beginning of a new valley here, right . We are assisting to the fair so for a new valley, does this mean that theres going to be a continuation of this back that could be with, with further growth quakes, or is this like a natural incident that youll slowly go even without the noise of the screen so lance lights basically are everywhere where there is a mass of rock or debris sliding down here. And if you would have for the next house in us sufficiently stay was know for sure. So i wouldnt be surprised if we see Something Like this. Perhaps not a spectacular display. Something like this happening here. Youre right. Yeah. For that then me. Yeah, shell be good. Thank you. Right. Hold on. I think youre doing. Yes. You know, murder lives this but, but you see all this is with. Yeah, its still, but with yeah, so this looks like a very solid rock, but the in fact the, when, when we look dodge it, it just basically the same to rates. Its a very soft, the rock that breaks very easy and that it is also width. And this means that maybe it was that it was flowing through here. And that helps. The rock is really not this higher. The seed was, as we thought it was, its not clear what exactly happened to ya. Its possible there was a large cavity, been nice to all as grove. As a result of the quake, the water load, the rock ceiling, may have slipped several meters to the side, then collapsed the and then takia professionals. Fascination meets personal horror. For the scientist. The quake almost completely destroyed the city. Many houses crumbles, becoming deadly traps for their residence. The bishop truces. Its the collapse buildings that kill people, not the quake itself. And talk you. I was famous for its beautiful, vibrant, old fishing this a song is destroyed. For example, this used to be the alley of a, of a most, okay. These buildings might be inevitably lost. But now we wouldnt be facing, requested it or is the soul of the city going to return. And also we have seen in the way here that separate of these buildings thats been stand as they are, says that there is no one living in that. And therefore the question is of course, many of them died as a consequence of the as quick. But those that survive, they likely left the some what is and when these formulas will be willing to return here and start their life here again, or is the city so how come them to remain the lonely course . To some extent, for a long the, you sent me the you called help but think what is more buildings had withstood the quake residents had been going to guest house and time. How was, how ties every every 3 sites the all the people of the stuff to destined for the same fate. Off to the 1999, the quake building regulations were tightened. Kentucky 7, siri houses built off to that time should be as quick proof. But as the disaster in house i shows do, does that didnt adhere to the new regulations and up in canada, i keith book applies says the same holds true for eastern will focus planner. They deliver stumble, the cube for less money. We know thats half of all construction work and its done. Vote is mostly on regulates. Its an unsupervised contract. Its very likely that some building codes are not being followed here. Which means despite the regulations just on bull, were most likely be in a very bad position. Should an earthquake striking a little bit with the aside from the Pool Management of new construction, there are tens of thousands of residential buildings that were built before 1999 buildings that will collapse like houses of colleagues in enough quick just like what happened and then takia, every house that crumbles trumps people underneath hundreds and thousands of families, neighbors and friends. But every house that remain standing can spare lives. So how can we make building safe on this question . Leads me to the country in western europe with the highest incidence of us quakes it to me at the university of policy. I visit the research foundation. I can tell you, one of its found is g on me credit card. It says options with ames to reduce the risk of craigs post to human. To do this, the research of the test buildings in their original size. Which means that we have somewhere hiding a type pressure. So we have to be careful where we go, because sometimes that, you know, 5 tend to be the engine. Anyway, here the, the scientists probably shows off one of the Worlds Largest us quick simulators. We can have a 5000 thoughts applied vertically, dynamically. We can control the vertical load and displacement the to the patient. And we can move in arizona to the direction whatever it is inside there. To test clearly shows rigid buildings with structural components that break easily. Your own, well connected, do not stand to town. This is exactly how many houses into okay, of build the flows on well attached to one another. So its, its being tested. You see that there is an actuated from there that could move this in busy election. And there is an x rays of air that the bush and fully action. So this is like part of a busy research has collect lots of data throughout their experiments to learn more about the risk of collapsing buildings. In these tests, the saw use of the models is crucial. We need to do a lot of testing to understand the response of structures. Essentially, even if today we have uh, a good capacity of numerical analysis. We are continuously discovering that to improve or to have good and reliable emetic. A models. We need to feed them with good testing and testing cannot be scale to small uh space you may so so on. We should be as close as possible to be a velocity or you know, size. We have adamant to get who they not fall from pa, via in milan. I get the opportunity to conduct an us quick experiment myself at the stuff up ice that if im not she and this colleague still developing shock absorbers that make buildings more of Quick Resistance. He shows me how the system, what the sense that in my hands controls the plates in an us create these plates move to dumping the buildings, vibrations in our experiments. The shock absorbers on maam said on the roof of the structure, the vibration simulation us quick. The shock absorber should reduce the movements of the show without the shock absorber, the liquid is the least flushes over the rim of the gloss. Ok, now we, we see the, the on the on yes, click on these the, on the windows. So could zuba is activated, the liquid remains almost entirely in the gloss. Is that still keeps those perform even better on the us. Quick simulates and probably the building on the right with the soak absorb is installed on the roof is bad, the damage the for the rest of the key, the roost of any existing structure could be retro assisted with this shock absorber. System induced phone needing in naples. The 1st of these are shock absorbers are in use. A 5 story Apartment Building was equipped with them off to renovation. The with this technology, existing structures could become more as quick resistant. So could the ice sacks shock absorbers also protect older buildings and the stumble that so if an earthquake happens, theres 40 percent of the buildings could be damaged. And i was wondering if a technology likes this quotes like favorite just, you know, for a why is this far, far they re repair everything. The technology is not invasive. Is it easy to be installed on an existing building . Because its composed of volume, like the materials they thought modeling through the assembly to directly on the construction site. Mm hm. So you can imagine that this is a not to a fly that went into stocks. Are you not see way about to you are notting, these events or the shock absorbers could at least buy residents a little time to get to the safety of cost and storing them would be in a numerous undertaking. But it could save countless lives right now, though there are no plans for anything like this. As we speak, tens of thousands of buildings in eastern beula, anything but us creek proof that leaves hundreds of thousands of people defenseless against a quake. Thats why hes done bullets trying to do them and theres thousands of on the safe buildings and replace them with a new us Quick Resistance structure. John and this guy come out and tells me the transition is well underway as us. And because youre telling me there are 7000. 00 active construction sites every month, thats unbelievable with cost. Yeah. Uh the, the glass your fill. Yes. As soon as a Construction Company is done with one site and they start on the next one, every month found there was 7000. 00 construction sites in this part of the city is which doesnt take about any fundamental construction is never ending. Eventually theyll come here and these 3 small buildings will be torn down and replaced the big bills that to me and affect if its Good Business for these people. But its basically supported by the government and the community because these buildings are not safe in an earthquake. And the new ones are supposed to be earthquake, say thats the, thats the goal of the in the fix that the see the so it sounds like eastern boot will always be under construction. Will this construction boom really help in the event of a disaster . Or do these new Construction Projects actually create new problems . Thats what of implying that a peaceful look at the law says beyond them that the construction sector has been left to the market. Namely, the economic interests of clients and customers are seeing the effect of dots play out. Now. In the last 20 to 25 years, more and more public spaces have disappeared. In other words, open spaces to which people could have fled in the event of a disaster. The land has been used for large Construction Projects. Instead of being developed into parks or other outdoor areas, you can shop the experts, calculate steps in the event of an us quake that would be less than one square meter of open space per resident. So where could people go with the houses were destroyed after the quake, the in comparison, the playground, when my neighbors and i took refuge during the 1999 us quick feels almost like a luxury resort. My friend fathers tells me that people in hotel i say, its not the dead who suffer from an us quake. Its the survivors. The ones who watch the friends and relatives died. The other ones who watch and waste has help fails to arrive or arise too late. Well know people say when a major us creek strikes eastern, the we meet the residents in front of the old Apartment Building. Thats what this is. All of these buildings will be demolished into 3 months because she can speak to them and because she used to live in germany and the buildings will be torn down because theyre not as quick say by the images. Only a woman doesnt know yet where she lives. The it wasnt so long ago that i knew very little about the danger as quite exposed to the city where i was born and raised actually see um, nothing is gone. So and the other scientists have showed me that they are working on ways to help with some dissolved stuff. But it may already be too late to protect the people of the stumble. I am very worried is to be quite comes what will remain of my beloved 16, the, the, the book, the environment, Trends Technology come is digitalization style tops new market, new media.
