A hello. I live in the, in a couple months or 6, this ones, the smallest her moms, the vice to claim the name on february 6th, 2023 massive us quakes devastated south eastern touch east has holly problem has monday. 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 lives. My name is nissan. Of the con. 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 for home is in great 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 lost both. How long whole and homes and how tired to my tons of the 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 a message from her cousin in the what type of move in for the cost on this happened. It says i just escaped from the rubble to my house and my parents are still there and it comes and knocked. I hear my mother screaming mine, we cant get out as homeland house viruses, relatives lives. And im talk here. One of the cities west, ravaged by the quick at full 17 am local time on february 6th, 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 tremor started for 28. 00 am. The parents were buried below debris. The siblings were powerless. Tons of concrete separation at them from the parents. For 2 days they heard their mothers desperate cries until her voice fell. Clients, they have 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 or scare. 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 how to i leave and that im hurting middleton. Im a shame to say that i lost my relatives or something because i had the privilege to be here by monday to get to lock the foundation. I have known each other since the children. And then we lived in place here, and cody k, a district to the stumble. This is all childhood playground. I said us asked when the 1999 as quick hits we come to was on a test that was in summer on the 17th of august, 1999, a severe a quick struck south east of eastern to 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 houses russell. My mother woke me up and we ran 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. Its bigger than either london or paris and its estimated that the real number of residents is close to 20000000. Talk hes difficult, you 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 quick here matching the magnitude, which is the one that struck se into a piece with spelled dissolves to for the whole country. Mr. 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 to i in the us creek so. So what would be to them to be strong . Its, of course, a difficult time and all of us are preparing for a major earthquake and is dumble. I mentioned were expecting it to know. I have a camper van in front of my house because of it, and im trying to spend more time outside the matrix the submission. Soon. Many people feel the way through saying does they live under constant threats . This mold and vibrant city is in danger. So how imminent isnt us quite dissolved on what comes to cleansers wouldnt have for eastern goal, and its residence in the cache on the outskirts of the stumble. I meet with one of turkeys most well known geologist. Profess to now g, good for he is the scientist has been sounding to you alone without intending 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 to forget about us manya, look at my rush. Im concerned about, my gosh, that was 3 days before the huge click on february 6th. And how to the level of teaching students, just in as a couple of that, a mazda of quake would strike the hatch. I region in south, west kentucky. Its difficult to even conceive of what a quake of this magnitude would do to east on the but just like the have probably provence eastern bullshit to top tectonic, cliff active 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 of 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 tech tonic plates in our region. The a lot of fun use that ya need a visible on the depth and letting the glass feel the tricky lines on the, on a totally in plate to the north is the region plates. The radium plates and pushes from the sauce, moving the on a totally and plates westward. These active plates boundaries are called fonts. Default in the north, in front of 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 c off symbol would be the site of the next earthquake and itd be a different machine at the funding. They get to deal with just non g, g a and many other experts. Its perfectly clear is dental and its millions of residents. So 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 eastern little 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 how much and this goes off. Shes based on the job and Research Center for geosciences g s that in pops done with her projects. Quite content. Shes tackling how to best to detect signs of as quick before they hit the at the moment. This is one of the most challenging question, the the new method new processing techniques, what disclose the big data so that we are able to process the efficiency. Vast amounts of data on the safe side gave us a new, the new cases that maybe before were not the police the im not seen as gonzalez, searching for previously undetected passions. And seismic recordings, i accompany her to the tiny island of simply all the to find out more around, you stumbled, the touch dissolves to enter Emergency Management to storage, the our father and the good. How feels how to network of seismic stations on cecily. Although we meet phyllis to buy cuddly, old low from outside, he asked the depth of 300. 00 me says that you send records the tiniest move and so the crust is, is it . Yeah. 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 is that the one thats meant presidency in the car. 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 earthquake was to be low case of near the size make station eastern bold could be willing to head 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, the tier of the coast of the stumble and the g is building up as police see, im not seeing those guns all explains. And then with our, with to, with, with our research with, right, so that the mind whether the fault is locked and it costs a higher potential for a very low to quick of monday through 7 or more or to the folder 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 as quick, but they should at least have its more so the extent of the danger eastern goal is facing depends on the behavior of the faults and the mom, the receipt is to fold creeping. Oh is it locked . Im consigned to the tub and the also using size make 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 and fault zone. But here its been proven that the tectonic plates all creeping. Its the end of march as an altitudes of 1200 meters, its cold from minus 5 to minus 10 degrees celsius. But the size make stations desktop 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 staples and recording them correctly. The measuring devices 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. Honda totally unfolds, sometimes they can be found and they are symmetry are protected in the community who o as is the case here, located in the back shed of a most with a permission of local officials. The, the less than ideal weather conditions have to date the team from the german 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 okay. Yeah, it just looks like we have uh we have a biggest bike which um might be okay, so just to say, okay, so here we havent seen any station on the back part of a month. But this is a very narrow, a 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 . And okay, there we go from there did from on the look through the data as well as i, 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 this web tectonic plates a 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 the most of the and when you look at the rocks, usually the green. These green rocks are southern pines. Uh if i said with a steve 60, due to slow motion to creep. Amazing. Yeah, uh, so he said the rocks make this was the slow. Yeah. These uh, cleaner, also except on vines type on times and nothing needs 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 has no that creeping Plate Movement impacts the risk of an us quick. But they dont yet know exactly how understanding more could help lesser assess eastern those, those quick risk. Thats why this research is 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 and is dental this was the spot where both discovered that the tech tonic plates were creeping caused 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 2 centimeters aside. Okay . So here its the amount of displacement supervisors. By now its been displaced by about some meter. This will may seem somewhat and remarkable. But in terms of us Quick Research, it was a very special find this type of for great. Ok, theres been very special, a very unique places in the work. And in particular, where we are here, these met, special segments of that are kind of totally on for is one of the best, the places, the one of the staples behavior visit. Theres like a temple, yes. Flow sciences here dealing with the creep and active tectonics. This creepy or was discovered in 1969 about 9 or 19 years after the 1st discovery of describe them on a on site address for your student kind of in europe. This is your agent site. Yeah. So this is the play bundle. In fact, yeah, so we have to spend the right on the 1st of the boundary boundaries bound longer between to the not the regime plate and here the asian a normal days of say, false are lost due to friction and accumulate the strain and leaves during the visit the far so it so were basically spending on the width of the deadlines, so hopefully 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 for 8 to 12000000 years. In these med prussia, this movement is happening relatively continuously. Look further to the west, towards the stumble. Its a different story. There are many signs that the tech told me it creates a lot south of the city. More and more energy is building up here a year of 2 year history indicates that this energy is released at intervals of about 250. 00. He is the last page of christ, the nissan boulevard 15091766. So why is that mass . Another big us quite because actually over to you, scientists in germany are investigating just how great the threats the city is. Visit the g. S that impulse down 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 crust to the side. In some areas, for example, themselves, americas west coast. These process is also happening in the opposite direction. The are she, im a crossed in the continental crust, actually pushed against each of the crust is broken up like puzzle pieces, into many different plates. As a plate boundaries the rocks of rub against each other into look, im detached again. The g a says experimental rock to summation the part of the tree is led by eric rebecca. He goes to, is the system his team use, High Pressure presses to recreate a natural process as youre 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 stands out switching stairs. Switching to the mind, stanford eric are back. He wants to show me how hall drop the hayes and the folds of his colleague slowly increases the pressure of the press until it reaches 18 tons to 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 to ended, fractured into a lot of little pieces, either kind of took a certificate to fall from the gun. So if you let such samples slide past one another, she was like what happens deep down in a sheer zone is then you produce a lot of small eroded pieces, but thats called couch. And a few in class in the sub surface they rub past each other and you get jerking, move on the, on the for by not funds of, oh god, think of, of a molten rocks react totally different the to the movements of the cross. They behave more like this modeling clay it seems like the us Quick Research has borrowed an id o 2 from the playground. In the analog modeling lab, im helping geologist eyes on cause our recess open experiments. It will help me visualize movements on the north, on a totally unfold straight cream. Yes. And for the last found in the model, the assembly is at the bottom. I pushed to the left one. In other words, westwood, just like the totally in place that we down the skinny to the if you something there. So it meant to skate into now. And also he said, just the processing nature takes thousands to millions of years down the skin to enough to municipal all that. So we can understand the process behind to then surgical process. Thats the idea behind in the some books experiments, the totally in place is represented on the right. The model reveals whats been happening on the newest, on the totally and falls over the cost of millions of years. Although the movement is only from side to side, the sand is rising and folding 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 folds, you can also see that some parts are subsiding, theyre going down some parts of it. Ok, 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 slightly. The model makes me acutely aware of how the Plate Movements will inevitably affect taquita. Because this movement is not going to stop. The totally and plates will continue to drift. Westwood generation tremendous power. The as more and more pressure builds up near, you stumble. This impending stress is what drives scientists 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 processors. That she wants to goes to the craig zone and a half time 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. Todd coastal solar, jesus sets up 10 cities, people who could not leave the creek, so it has been sheltering here on the journey pets. We see, im not seeing those goals all makes use of every spend Movement Working on the pay per about the dangers facing eastern val. How 1st stopped 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 kind of shows hon. Olive grove near the see its the real world. Oh, how look at these beautiful. This is of the following. The twigs the us slow, urgent here. The fission now spends a length of several 100 meters. This is supposedly the beginning of a new well, a here, right . We are assisting to the fair so for new buddy, 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 incidence central . Slowly go even without the rest 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 sufficiently unstable to know for sure. So i wouldnt be surprised if we see Something Like this. But have some of the spectacular dis but 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 the motor, elizabeth but, but you see on this is with. Yeah, its still good 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 rate. Its a very soft, the rock that breaks very easy. And that is also what, 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 postables. There was a large cavity beneath the all as grove. As a result of the quake, the water load, the rock ceiling, may have slid several meters to the side, then collapsed the and then talk. He up. Professional fascination meets personal horrors for the scientists. 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. On tapio was famous for its beautiful, vibrant old stitching this a sound is destroyed. For example, this used to be the alley of a, of a most ok. These buildings might be inevitably last, 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 some of these buildings thats been stand, they are shows that there is no one leaving them on the therefore the question is of course, many of them died as a consequence of this quick, but those that survive they likely left the some what else and when these formulas wed be willing to return here and that their life here again, or is the city so how come them to remain the lonely course to some extent for a long time the he sent me the you called hell, but sync what is more buildings had withstood the quake or residents had been going to guest house and time. How was, how ties every every 3 sites the all the people of the stuff in the distance for the same fate off to the 1999 us craig building regulations were a titan, kentucky sermons theory. How is this build off to that time . Should be us 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 lashlin, and we know thats half of all construction work and stumble is mostly on regulates. Its an unsupervised contract, its very likely thats a building codes are not being followed here, which means despite the regulations is done, both will 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 the full 1999 buildings that will collapse like houses of colds and 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 sped 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. Its lee at the university of policy. I visit the research foundation. I can tell you one of its founders g on me, credit cards, says ocean split ames to reduce the risk of quakes post to human. To do this, the research of the test building. In their original size. You see the red line there, which means that we have somewhere hiding its High Pressure. So we have to be careful let we go because the staff has some science that, you know, 5 french candidates would be the engine. Anyway, here the, the scientist probably shows off one of the Worlds Largest us quick simulators. We can have a 5000 phones applied vertically dynamically. We can control the vertical load and displacement the to the patient. And we can move in the results of your action. Whatever is inside there, to test, clearly shows richard buildings with structural components that break easily your own well connected. Do not stand to tone. This is exactly how many houses in tokyo fill. The flows on well attached to one another. So, its just being tested. You see that there is an actuated from there that could move the same busi election. And there is an actuator where the bush and pulling this direction. So this is like 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 free 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, and where to come. All those. We need to feed them with good testing and testing can not these k a to a small uh space you may a so so on. We should be as close as possible 3 of the la city. Are you the size the elements to get . Would they not fall from pa, via in milan . I get the opportunity to conduct and us quick experiments myself after stuff up ice text. If im not she and this call weeks of developing shock absorbers that make buildings low as quick resistance. He shows me how the system was, the sense that in my hands controls the plates in an us create these plates move to dumping into buildings, vibrations in our experiments. The shock absorbers on mound sit on the roof of the structure. The vibration stimulates enough quick, the shock absorber should reduce the movements of the show without the shock absorber, the liquid easily flushes over the rim of the gloss. Ok, now we received yesterday and yes, click on these a on windows sokop zuba is activated. The liquid remains almost entirely in the gloss, is that still clips to boost perform even better on the us. Quick simulator and probably the building on the right with the sockets daughters installed on the roof is fairly damaged. The, theoretically the roost of any existing structure could be retro assisted with this shock absorber system in the fall needing in naples the 1st all use our 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 us creek resistant. So could the always tack shock absorbers also protect older buildings than the stumble . That easy. So as an earthquake happens, they as far 2 percent of the buildings could be damaged. And i was wondering if a technology likes this quotes like favorite just, you know, for a while as far as far they re repair everything. That technology is not amazing. Is it easy to be installed on an existing building . Because these compose volume like the materials that are falling to the assembly, the directly on the construction site. Mm hm. So you can imagine that this is a not to at a fly that went into stocks. Are you mossey way about to you are not seeing basie, victoria, the shock absorbers could at least buy residents a little time to get to safety of cost and storing them would be in the 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. The, thats why you stumble is trying to demolish thousands of on the safe buildings and replace them with a new us quick resist instruction. John and this guy comes and tells me the transition is well underway. As a some good cuz youre telling me there are 7000 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, a 7000. 00 construction sites in this part of the city is which i didnt think about any fundamental construction is never ending. Eventually theyll come here and these 3 small buildings will be torn down and replaced of the big building. And the effect is its Good Business for these people this, 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 end to fix that the see the so it sounds like eastern google always be under construction. Will this construction boom, really health in the event of a disaster will do these new Construction Projects actually create new problems . Thats what of inclined to look up law see beyond them that the construction sector has been left to the markets. 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. That land has been used for large Construction Projects. Instead of being developed into parks or other outdoor areas, you can shop for 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, the night took refuge during the 1999 us quick feels almost like a luxury resorts. My friend bothers, tells me that people in hotel i say it smelt the dead who suffer from an us quake. Its the survivors. The ones who watch the friends and relatives died. The other ones who watched and ways just help fails to arrive or arrives too late. Well, no people say you wanted me to us creak strikes, eastern the, 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 the image is always a woman, doesnt know yet where she lives the it was so long ago that i knew very little about the danger us quite exposed to the city where i was born and raised at least the martinez council. 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 use done the i am very worried is the be quite comes what will remain of my beloved 16, the good shape everyone knows please one feeling, even though its triggered 5 different causes, fee or a normal response to danger, which windows fear become pathological or named sanity disorder.
