Hello. I live in la 6. This one is the smallest her mom suffice to clean the nip. On february 6th, 2023 massive us quakes devastated south eastern touch east has holly problem had monday. The one rescue lives. Vanessa 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. Of the con. I live in germany with my daughter on top. Nothing work as an actress. But i was born here in eastern 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 devastates season has high. A major us creek dissolves to could strike eastern bull any day. The no, no. Im going to stumble. Visiting my best friend bush. She lost both hi, uncle and her aunt and have time to share the 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 tie height and then not to me. Then she goes to message from her cousin in the what type of proof in for the cost on this happened. And it says i just escaped from the rubble of my house. And my parents are still are in athens 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, 7. 8, magnitude us quakes dropped 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. 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 have to in deal with the reality that as temperatures dropped to 0, the parents had frozen to death. Pinned down by the rubble, he led him were filled with 3 score. Were scared. Were worried that were devastated by 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 the sites. Then we lived in place here in country k, a district of you stumble. This is all childhood playgrounds, the best hit us at the 1999 as quick hits. We comes here with all natives. That was in summer, on the 17th of august, 1999, a severe, a quick struck southeast of the central resulting in 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 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 system. Hes done well is the Economic Cost of the country and us creek here matching the magnitude, which is the 1. 00 that struck south eastern tub he was spelled dissolves 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 tie in the us creek so. So what would be to them to be sure, its, of course, a difficult time of all of us are preparing for a major earthquake and is denver event. Were expecting it to not have a camper van in front of my house because of it and, and trying to spend more time outside in nature, excuse me. So many people feel the way through sane. Does they live under constant threats . This mold and vibrant city is in danger. So how immune and is in us quite dissolved and what consequences would it have for eastern goal and its residents in the cafe on the outskirts of eastern bowl i meet with one of turkeys most well known geologist. Professor nigi good for he is the scientist has been sounding the alarm, a 1000 pending 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, the media asked me about that. And i said, forget about us, man. Yeah, look at my rush. Im concerned about, my gosh, that was 3 days before the huge click on february 6th. And i typed the level of teaching students just an eligible that a master of quake would strike the how to i region in south western talking. Its difficult to even conceive of what a quake of this magnitude would do to eastern but just like the how to all the problems. 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 tectonic plates in our region. The, the funniest that need a visible on the depth and letting the glass feel the jerky lines on the, on a totally and plates to the north is the region plates. The radium plates and pushes from the sauce, moving the unintelligent plates westward. These active plates boundaries are called fonts default and 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 about moving west towards stumble. And thats why the mom or a sea off stumble would be the site of the next earthquake. And itd be that the machine had the funding. They get to be all the just non g, g, a and many other experts. Its perfectly clear hes done bull and its millions of residents are facing a deadly does all stuff. The a mega us clay could strike at any time. And the likelihood of it 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, sized apologist pets. The see im asking us goes all the shes based at the job and Research Center for geosciences g s. Go ahead and post them with her projects. Quite content. Shes typing house of best to detect signs of as quick before they hit the at the moment. This is one of the most challenging questions, a new message, new processing techniques, what to disclose the big data so that we are able to process efficient the vast amounts of data at the same time. Give us a new that new cases that maybe before were not the police the im not seen is 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 dissolved, the engine, Emergency Management to storage. The efforts and the g. S. The have built out a network of seismic stations on simply although we made for least 2 by country all 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 data 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 have someone, its meant presidency in on kyra. And from there they send this to us almost in real time through the do you have said puts 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 the whole thing trains looks 5 seconds. Its 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 of the stumble and the g is building up as police see, im not seeing those guns, no explains. And the, with our, with to, with, with our research with the right. So that their mind, whether the fault is locked and it costs a higher to potential for a very large just quick of money to 7 or more or to the, for the, is creeping. And that would mean that the 2 sides of the falls are slightly slighting. Im not posting that much energy and therefore they are as quick potentially. So its more so the extent of the danger eastern role is facing depends on the behavior of the folks and the mom, the receipt is the 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 and fault zone was here. Its been proven that the tectonic plates all creeping. Its the end of march as an altitude of 1200 meters, its cold from minus 5 to minus 10 degrees celsius. But the size make stations desktop by alpha m g upset still need to be maintained. The geosciences have to swap out the batteries in storage devices 2. 00 to 3. 00 times a year. This time its the g f. Thats time. Aside from routine maintenance between checks whether the station is detecting seismic signals and recording them correctly, the measuring devices function independently of the power thread. This and shows they can record the movements all again alone without interruption. This ties make stations are installed along the nose on a totally and folds. Sometimes they can be found in the or symmetry texted in the community who o as is the case here, located in the back shed of a most with the permission of local officials. The, the less than ideal weather conditions have to date the team from the job and Research Center for geosciences. Pub 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 it looks like we have uh we have a big spike which um might be okay. So just to say, okay, so here we have a saves me station on the 1st of a 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, okay, where we go from there did from a 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 the things you see now here you have a nice click the the region. The easement passes one of the few places on this website, topic clips 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 ocean the and when you look at the rock seriously, the green, these green rocks are set up on pines. Ah, you facilitate these things to do to slow motion to creep. Amazing. Yeah. So we see the rocks. This makes this close to slow. Yeah. These i agree. Are all tasks up on vines type on times and nothing means to make or something. Mm. Yeah. So ive been to, yeah, i see this, 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 east handles the quick risk. Thats why this research is so crucial. Police, the on motion is goes on and her colleagues wants to be able to identify the size to make signature of a creeping fault. Then they can better evaluate the fault. And it is done though, this was the spot where both discovered that the tech tony, its wood creeping past each other. This rule was built in the 1950s. Every year, the movements of tectonic plates results and one half of the world moving about 2 centimeters to the side. Okay, so here its the amount of displacement supervisors. By now its been displaced by about some meter. This will, may seem somewhat unremarkable, but in terms of us creek research, it was a very special find. This type of 1st group. Ok, theres been very special, a very unique places in the work. And in particular, where we are here, basement special segments of then are kind of the and 4th is one of the best, the places, the one of the staples behavior, the frequency visit. Theres like a temple, yes. Flow sciences here dealing with the creep and octave tectonics. This creepy or was discovered in 1969, about 919 years after the 1st discovery of just fed them on a, on site address for your student, kind of in europe. Is it your asian saw . Yes, so this is the plague bundled in fact, yeah. So we have to spend the right amount of both of the boundary boundaries bound longer between to the north region plate. And here the asian place, a normal days of say, the phones are locked due to friction and accumulate the strain and release during the visit the 1st. So its so were basically spending on the width of the deadlines. So please see im matching those guns on geology. Instruct you are standing right on the phone line here, the stomach only, and then you reason plates has been moving past each other for 8 to 12000000 years. In these med pressure, this movement is happening relatively continuously. Look further to the west, towards the stumble. Its a different story. There are many signs that the tectonic plates, so look south of the city. More and more energy is building up a year of 2 year. History indicates that this energy is released at intervals of about 250 years. The last page of christ and eastern boulevard and 50 no 9 and 1766. So by that math, 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 upset impulse, dumb the institute slip pets we see on matching those goals all works this as well as quick research, its happening at the highest level. Its here that i learn just how dynamic founded us is below its surface. The crust is 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 crusts to the side. In some areas, for example, im south americas west coast. These process is also happening in the opposite direction. The are she, im a crossed in the continental trust actually push against each of the crust is broken up like puzzle pieces, into many different plates. At the plate boundaries, the rocks are up against each other into look, im to touch again. The g a says experimental abrupt is amazing. The part of the tree is led by a recruit. Becky, the g of business system, his team use High Pressure presses to recreate a natural process as youre getting. Its my and these are press one. I live in mines on 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 into mine and stamford. Eric are back. He wants to show me how hall dropped the hayes and the faults of his colleague slowly increases the pressure of the press until it reaches 18 tons 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 of football from the gun. So if you let such samples slide past one another, like what happens deep down in a few years owners, then you produce a lot of small eroded pieces. 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 tons of woke up taking the baby. Molten rock 3 are totally different the, to the movements of the cross. They behave more like this modeling clay. It seems like to us quick researches borrowed an idea or 2 from the playground. In the modeling lab, im helping geologist eyes on cause all re set up and experiments. It will help me visualize movements on the north, on a totally unfold straight. Yes. For the law firm in the model, the assembly is at the bottom a push to the left. One. In other words, westwood, just like the end is hardly in place. And they could be down and skinny to the if you something theres to a mentor skate into now. And also he said to just go process in nature takes thousands to millions of years down the skilled enough to meet as 12. So we can understand the process behind to a physical process. Thats the idea behind in the some books experiments, the other totally in place is represented on the right. The model reveals whats been happening on the no sound, 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 falling at the boundary between the 2 plates. Its possible this type of movement is what forms the mom or a scene is dunbar. Because of the interaction between small segments of folds. You can also see that some parts are subsiding. Theyre going down some parts on the coming, you know, 50. So its not on the horizontal displacement. You have also some of course thats coming up exactly coming up uplifting and some far as going down some siding. The model makes me acutely aware of how the Plate Movements will inevitably affect taquita. Because this movement is not going to stop expanding, the totally in place 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. Im not seeing those 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 go to the quick soon 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 of 10 cities, people who could not leave the crate soon has been sheltering here on the journey pets. We see how much he knows goes on, makes use of every movement. Working on a paper about the dangers facing east dumble of 1st stopped as a field near on takia the shes able to witness 1st time the brutal force and us create can on these tuckers john. And this guy kind of shows hon. Olive grove, near the sushi. Its the real oh, wow. Look at this beautiful, this is of the following, the quick, the us slow, urgent here. The fission now spends a length of several 100 meters. This is supposedly 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 the spectrum . It could be with, with further growth quakes, or is this like a natural incident that youll slowly go even without the screen . So lance lights basically are everywhere where there is a mass of rock or debris sliding down here. And if you were out for the next house in us sufficiently stay was know for sure. So i wouldnt be surprised if we see Something Like this, but has not the spectacular this but Something Like this happening here. Youre right. Yeah. For the may. Yeah, shell be good. Thank you. Right. Hold on. I think youre doing yes. You know, the motor less this but, but you see all 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 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 seat was, as we thought it was. Its not clear what exactly happened to you. Its possible there was a large cavity beneath the 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 talk. Here 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 top here was famous for its beautiful, vibrant old cities. This a sound 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, thats 7 of these buildings thats been then they are the says that there is no one leaving them. 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 else . And when these formulas, wed be willing to return here and study their life here again, or is the city so how come them to remain the lonely course to some extent for a long the the you sent me the you cant help but think what is more buildings has withstood the quake. Residents have been going to guest house and time. How is how ties every every 3 sites the the all the people of the stumble destined for the same fate. Off to the 1999, the quake building regulations were tightened. Kentucky, stevens theory, 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 of what you stumbled upon or the stumble, the cube for less money. We know thats half of all construction work and stumble is mostly on regulates its. Im on supervisor contract. Its very likely that the building codes are not being followed here, which means despite the regulations, its 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 quake just like what happens 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 incidents of us clicks. Its really up to university of policy. I visit the research foundation. I can tell you, one of its found is gm, mechanical or v says or chance with ames to reduce the risk of craigs post to human. To do this, the research of the test building. In the original size, you see the red line error because something is going on, 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 to be the engine. Anyway, here the, the scientists probably shows off one of the Worlds Largest us quick simulators we can have uh, 5000 phones applied vertically dynamically. We can control the vertical load and displacement the tudor position. And we can move in arizona. Excellent. Will say what 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 while attached to one another. So its, its being tested, you see that there is an actuated from there that could move this invisible action. And there is an x rays of air, the bush unfolding this direction. So this is like a busy research is 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 these k a to a small uh, space email so so on. We should be as close as possible 3 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 experiments myself after starts up ice taxed if im not, she and his colleagues still developing shock absorbers that make buildings more. A Quick Resistance. He shows me how the system was a 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 mounted on the roof of the structure. The vibration simulation us quick. The shock absorber should reduce the movements of the show was out to sockets, the liquid easily flushes over the rim of the gloss. Okay, now we receive yes sir. And yes, click on these uh, on the windows sokop zuba is activated. The liquid remains almost entirely in the gloss is that still keeps those perform even better on the us. Quick simulator and tom. Yeah. The building on the right with the still keeps the old is installed on the roof, is fairly damaged. 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 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 us creek resistant. So could the always tack shock absorbers also protect older buildings and the stumble . Thats easy. So if an earthquake happens, theres 40 percent of the buildings could be damaged. And i was wondering if a technology likes this codes like favorite just, you know, for a while before, before they re repair everything, the technology is known. Amazing. Is it easy to be installed on an existing building . Because these compose volume like the materials thats out mom and see the assembly the directly on the construction site. Mm hm. So you can imagine that this is a not to a fly that went into stocks or even uh, mossey way back to you are not evasive. As all the, the shock absorbers could at least buy residence 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. The, thats why you stumble is trying to demolish thousands of on the safe buildings and replace them with a new us Quick Resistance structure. John in this account and tells me the transition is well underway as us and because youre telling me there was 70000 active construction sites every month. Fos. Thats unbelievable. Its cost. Yeah. Uh the, the glacier film. 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 doesnt take 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 fact is, 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 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 im trying to. I keep pulling up la cs. 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. And 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 residents. 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 its not the dad who suffer from an us quake. Its the survivors. The ones who watch the friends and relatives died. The ones who watch and ways just help fails to arrive or arrives too late. Well know, people say you wanted me to us creak 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. But in the interest items, a woman doesnt know yet where she lives. The it wasnt 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 the stumble. I am very worried is to be quite comes what will remain of my beloved assisting the depression, bipolar disorder, Mental Health issues like these as the and asked about topics in many advocates decided youll advocate for struggling with that Mental Health i left to their own devices in the past and people have stuck to these misconceptions about Mental Health that Mental Illnesses occurs or, you know, its the one positions the 77 in 30 minutes on dw, the, shes got issues with a lot say, well crazy. The limited freedom of the online where young north koreans fled to south korea, where they realize their dreams, the coming social media stuff. But then they disappeared without warning, only to recess as a north korean propaganda video. Whats happened from north korea with love starts october 25th on d w.
