to fred douglas at fred, charlotte, i think i said you're up to date, i'll have more. well, here's at the top of the hour, coming up in just a moment. here on the w of a documentary, assessing the rest of the major us quite could strike is done. the pricing strategies for thought save the lives in the, in this $1.00 is the smallest amongst the vice to claim the

on february 6th, 2023 masters. as quick as devastated south eastern touch east has holly problem, huffman this case, the one rescue lives, and that's what kind of ground 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 and pop not 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 grave danger. it's threatened by the same fate which devastates season has high. a major us creek

dissolves to could strike eastern of any day. the no, no. i've been this dental visiting my best friend bush. she lost both her and her aunt and had time to sugar, to my kind of a name and mama. here's 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 levin for 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 mine.

we can't get out as homeland house viruses, relatives live. and i'm 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 mother's 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. we're scared. we're worried that we're devastated by the fact that we're so powerless to do anything and rages us on it.

we can't express our sorrow. yeah. no one can on board though. it's easy to talk when you're here or this, but those of us who are here can't truly understand what happened there in that. that's why i'm a shame to say i'm from how to i leave and that i'm hurting ableton. i'm 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 wasn't summer on the 17th of august, 1999, a severe,

a quick struck south east of east dunbar, 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 i'm increasingly concerned for my home city. and it's residence because of its eastern bowl is the largest city in talking with an official population of about $60000000.00. it's bigger than either london or paris. and it's estimated that the real number of residents is close to to 20000000 talk. he's difficult. he 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 southeastern type he was spelled dissolves to. for the whole country. i missed the hustle and bustle of everyday life. you might think it's easy to lose sight of the danger, but that's not actually the case. many people here all deeply afraid. i talked to who's 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, it's, of course, a difficult time. all of us are preparing for a major earthquake in december. i mentioned we're 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 saying does they live under constant threats? this mold and vibrant city is in danger. so how immune and isn't us quite dissolved

. and what comes to quinn says we don't have 4 eastern bull and it's residents in the cafe on the outskirts of you stumble. i meet with one of tuck, he's most well known geologist. professor, now g. good for he is, the scientist has been sounding to you alone without him 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, in the media, asked me about that. and i said, forget about us, man, you look at my rush. i'm concerned about, my gosh, that was 3 days before the huge click on february 6th. and i tell you that the level of teaching students just an, as a couple of at a mazda of quake would strike the hatch. i region in south western talking it's difficult to even conceive of water. quake of this magnitude was due to

eastern booth. but just like the house all the problems. eastern bull sits the top tectonic cliff active ground, meaning it's 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 that's why so many earthquakes occur in our country. and most of the day it's due to the natural movements of the tectonic plates in our region. the, the funniest that need it visible on the depth and letting the glass feel the jerky 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 unintelligent plates westward. these active plates boundaries are called fonts default and the north and follows most of its energy from east to west.

that's why there's been so many magnitude 7 earthquakes throughout the 20th century of the moving west towards stumble. and that's why the mom or a c office stumble would be the site of the next earthquake. and it'd be a different machine had the funding. they get to the ologist, knology girl. and many of the experts, it's perfectly clear is done bowl and it's millions of residents are facing a deadly dissolved 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 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 sized molar. just pepsi. see a motion? us goals know she's based on the job and research center for geosciences g s. go ahead and post them with her projects. quite content. she's tackling how to best to detect signs of us quakes 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 we're not the police the i'm not seen as 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 good have feels how to network of seismic stations on cecily, although we meet phyllis to buy country 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, disaster management 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 low case of near the size make station eastern bull could be willing to ahead of the 1st waves then that'd 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 of the stumble and the g is building up as police see, i'm not seeing those guns, no explains. and then with our, with to, with, with our research with the right. so that their mind, whether the fault is locked and it costs the higher the 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 sliding

and not posting that much energy. and therefore they are as quick, but they're shelly, so it's more so the extent of the danger, eastern goal is facing depends on the behavior of the fault. and the mom, the receipt is the fold creeping or is it locked and consigned to the tub and the also using seismic technology. that's the see. i'm 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 faults and those here, it's been proven that the tectonic plates all creeping. it's the end of march as an altitude of 1200 meters. it's cold from minus 5 to minus 10 degrees celsius. but the science makes stations desktop by alpha m g of said 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 it's the g f, that's time. aside from routine maintenance, the teen checks whether the station is detecting seismic signals and recording them correctly. the measuring devices function independently of the power thread. this thing shows they can record the movements over here alone without interruption. the size make stations are installed along the north. honda totally and folds. sometimes they can be found in the or symmetry texted in the community. who was 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. 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 have a saves me station on the part 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 come back from and i look through the data as well as there are, there is a now we have connected to a 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 web tectonic plates are creeping cost. each of the scientists want to measure this movement as precisely as possible . that's why they're installing g p. s to pull to tracking devices on both sides of the folds, which can register even the smallest of movements. ocean the and then 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 the slow. yeah. these i agree are also,

except on vines type on times and nothing needs to make or something. mm. yeah. so i've been to, yeah, you see this, these are all kind of very low friction. hm. so default is continues ongoing. yes. research has no that creeping plate movement impacts the risk of an us quick, but they don't yet know exactly how understanding more could help. lesser assess east handles the quick risk. that's 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 fault, then they can better evaluate the fault and it is done little this was the spot where both discovered that the tech tony,

its wood creeping pulsed 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 it's this amount of displacement seems likely to buy. now it's been displaced by 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, there's been very special, a very unique places in the work. and in particular, where we are here, these natasha segments of then are kind of the and for is one of the best, the places, the one of the, the staples behavior of the, for the visit. there's like a temple. yes. for those sciences here, dealing with the creep and active tectonics, this creepy or was discovered in

1969 about 919 years after the 1st discovery of this, fed them on a, on site address for your student kind of in europe. this is it your asian saw? yes. so this is the play bundle. 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 lost due to friction, accumulate the strain and release during the visit the 1st. so it's, so we're basically spending on the width of the deadlines, so hopefully see how much he knows go so and yeah jim, chuck, you are standing right on the phone line here. the sound that 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. it's 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 after year. history indicates that this energy is released at intervals of about $250.00. he is the last page of quakes. the nissan boulevard and 50 no 9 and 1766. so by that math, another big us quite because actually overdue you scientists in germany are investigating just how great the threats the city is. the. i visit the g upset in post on the institute slip. i p c, i'm not seeing those guns all works. this as well as quick research is happening at

the highest level. it's 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, america's west coast. these protest is also happening in the opposite direction. that he or she on the cross than 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, the rub against each other into look, i'm to touch again. the g a says experimental rock to summation the part of the tree is led by a recruit. becky, the g s. business system, his team use high pressure presses to recreate us to natural processes. again, you might lose a plus one, a live in mind and how does we're moving to the press?

now we'll take a hard rock like this and put it inside the press on this and then we'll load it actually until it breaks. so now we'll go over here, i'll open the glass, paying for you, and if you could please place the stone in between these 2 stam, dots, fishing spouts, twisting in the mighty stem for eric are back. he wants to show me how, how drunk behaves, and the folds of his colleague slowly increases the pressure of the press until it reaches 18 tons. the blanket, lots of tiny pieces are trips. the sample would stood very high stress levels. we were now at about $220.00 mega pass scouts, which is a lot fuse that one was a very solid sample and it fractured into a lot of little pieces, either kind of took a sticker to fall from the gum. 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. that's called couch here, and we'll see you in class in the sub surface. they rub past each other and you get jerking move. i mean, i know for bias not funds will take them to the molten rocks, react totally differently 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, i'm helping geologist eyes on causality. reset open experiments. it will help me visualize movements on the north, on a totally unfold straight cream. yes. for the not found 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 he 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 the physical process. that's the idea behind in the some books experiments that i know totally in place is represented on the right. the model reveals what's 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 falling at the boundary between the 2 plates. it's possible this type of movement is what forms the mom or a scene is denver because of the interaction between small segments of falls. you can also see that some parts are subsiding, they're going down some parts of the 50. so it's not on the horizontal displacement

. you have also some cause that's coming up. exactly, coming up uplifting in some far it's going down so slightly. the model makes me acutely aware of how the plate movements will inevitably affect how key. 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 go to the quick soon. and how sign the

scientist travels from east on the least was to hold some talk. you as well as the cities most impacted by the us clay can 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. patricia matching those goals all makes use of every spend movement. working on a paper about the dangers facing east dumble of 1st stopped as a field near on takia the she's able to witness 1st time the brutal force and us create can on these tuckers john and this guy come and i'm shows hun olive grove near the sea, it's the real oh wow. look at these beautiful. this is of

the following, the twigs, the us slew oceans here. the fish are now spends a length of several 100 meters. this is pursued in the beginning of a new valley here, right? we are assisting to the verse of for new buddy. does this mean that there's going to be a continuation of this back that could be with, with further growth quakes, or is this like a natural incident? such will slowly go even without the screen to land flights, basically are everywhere where there is a mass of rock or debris sliding down here. and if you were not for the next house in sufficiently, stay was know for sure. so i wouldn't be surprised if we see something like this. perhaps not a spectacular display. something like this happening here. you're right. yeah. for

that then me. yeah, she'll be good. thank you. right. hold on. i think you're doing yes. you know, the motor let's this but, but you see on this is with yeah, it's 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 rates. it's a very soft, the rock that breaks very easy and that is also what this means the maybe it, what the west flow in through here. and that helps of the rock is really not this higher. the seed was, as we thought it was, it's not clear what exactly happened tia it's possible that was a large cavity even needs to all his groove. 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 tacky of 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. it's the collapse buildings that kill people, not the quake itself. and takia was famous for its beautiful, vibrant, old fishing this was a song as destroyed. for example, this used to be the alley of a, of a most ok. these buildings might be inevitably lost. but now we wouldn't be facing, requested it or is the soul of the city going to return. and also we have seen on the way here, that's 7 of these buildings that's been stand. they are the says that there's no

one leaving them on the the for 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 on the, when these formulas we'd be willing to return here and that their life here again, or is the cd. so how come them to remain the lonely course to some extent. for a long time the the you sent me the

you called help but think what is more buildings had withstood the quake or residents have been moved into the guest house in time. how is how ties every every 3 sites 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 built as the didn't adhere to the new regulations and up in canada, i keith book i flower says the same holds true for eastern will not plan and they deliver stumble. the key for less money. we know that's half of all construction work and it's done. both is mostly on regulated on, on supervisors to attract. but it's very likely that's a building codes are not being followed here. which means despite the regulation, is just, i'm booth 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 double collapse like houses of calls in. and that's quick, 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 incidence of us clicks it to me at the university of policy, i visit the research foundation. i can tell you one of its found is gm mechanic car view says o h. and so the aims to reduce the risk of craig's 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 a type pressure. so we have to be careful where we go because and sometimes that,

you know, 5 tend to be the engine. anyway, here the, the scientists probably shows off one of the world's largest us quick simulators. we can add 5000 thoughts applied vertically, dynamically. we can control the vertical load and displacement, the tutor, fission. and we can move in arizona direction, whatever it is inside there. it's a test clearly shows rigid buildings with straw actual components that break easily or on, well connected. do not stand a challenge. this is exactly how many houses into okay, of build the flows on while attached to one another. so if it's being tested, you see that there is an actuated from there that could move this in this direction

. and there is an x rays of air. that's 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 the 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. nobody can mothers, we need to feed them with good testing. and testing cannot be scale to a small uh, space you may a 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 stuff up, ice taxed if i'm not she and this colleague still developing shock absorbers that

make buildings more of quick resistance. he shows me how the system, what a sense 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 mounted 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. the, the okay, now we, we see the, the, on the on 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 probably the building on the right with the silk absorbers installed on the roof is fairly damaged. theoretically the roost of any existing structure could be retro assisted with this shock absorber system induced phone needing in naples. the 1st of these aren't 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 sack shock absorbers also protect older buildings in the stumble? that's easy. so if an earthquake happens there for 2 percent of the buildings

could be damaged. and i was wondering if a technology likes this quotes like favorites, 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 it's composed of volume like to materials that out mile into 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 not see way about to you are not amazing that was the shock absorbers should at least by residents, a little time to get to safety. of course, installing them would be an enormous 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 bola,

anything but us creek proof that leaves hundreds of thousands of people defenseless against a quake. the that's why you stumble is trying to demolish 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 look, as you're telling me there are $7000.00 active construction sites every month. that's unbelievable. a 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 then about these bunk, then construction is never ending. eventually they'll come here and these 3 small buildings will be torn down and replaced the big building. and the effect is it's

good business for these people. but it's 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, save to pc, that's the goal of the end to fix the 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 will do these new construction projects actually create new problems? that's what of and plan the keys to look at. la c is beyond the, the construction sector has been left to the markets, namely the economic interests of clients and customers to come, we're 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 bowers tells me that people in hotel i say it's not the dad who suffer from an us quake. it's the survivors. the ones who watch the friends and relatives died. the other ones who watching waste has help fails to arrive or arrives too late. well, no people say you wanted me to ask quick strikes, eastern the we meet the

residents in front of the old apartment building. that's what i know. 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 they're not as quick say, why didn't you happen to be just a woman? doesn't know yet where she lives. the it wasn't so long ago that i knew very little about the danger as quite exposed to the city where i was born and raised the fcc 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 if the be quite comes. what will remain of my beloved 16, the of the learning curve of the digital age. why handwriting is crucial for childhood development. and how is being used in classrooms to blend futility with technology. a mix of old in new to be used to overcome, examined diety turning knowledge into confidence. tomorrow. today, 30 minutes on d. w. the
