is by him on the army is pumping sea water into the network that says ground water supplies aren't affected. experts warn the flooding, could damage fresh water for guns is 2300000 residents will ended there up next. the last name is the calls back. said wow, thank you so much for joining in. welcome to don't hold bad. a lot of people do that. it's all about saying it aloud. that's what it being nosy bay like. good, everyone to kings, to check out the award winning called called don't call back. no, i let them but. and this one's the smallest her mom's the vice to claim the

on february 6th, 2023 massive us quakes devastated south eastern touch east has holly problem. huffman. this is going to come and rescue lives, and that's a turnaround. has to change on the list for many people health arrived too late to dissolve the claim to more than 50000 lines. my name is nissan. of the con. i live in germany with my daughter on top. nothing work as an actress. but i was born here in east on the city of my childhood will always be the place i call home. but that home is in grave danger. it's threatened by the same fate which devastates season has high. a major us creek dissolves to could strike east assembled any day.

the no, no. i'm going to stumble. visiting my best friend bush. she lost both hi, uncle 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 would stay the night and told me there was an earthquake and had tie then not to me. then she goes to message from her cousin in the workshop prove in full cost on this happy spend. it says i just escaped from the rubble of my house and my parents are still there and it comes and knocked. i hear my mother screaming line. we 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 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. 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 were 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 also 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 and teddy 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 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 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 difficulty cannot make situation is driving more people out of the country side and into the city. you stumble is the economic costs of the country and us creek here matching the magnitude,

which is the one that struck south eastern turkey was spelled 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 i'm trying to spend more time outside in new york city submissions. so many people feel the way through saying does they live under constant threats? they, tungsten threats. this is he is in danger. is awesome. i'm go and it's residents and it

looks good. so the stumble i meet with one of tuck, he's most well known geologist. professor, now g. good for interest has been sounding to you alone without him sending us quakes in eastern turkey. but you've been the one that was in the southeast in awesome on. yeah, i mean it's, it's, and i said, forget, i'm concerned about, my gosh, that was fixed in the level of teaching samples at a massive quake woods south west kentucky point because of this magnitude would do to eastern but like the how to all the province

is clear, active ground me prone to us quakes the new term. tonic lea, active areas on this plan. it's new to occur in our country and most of the the of the tech tunnel due to the natural movements of the tectonic plates in her region. the dog fun. yes. that is the young lady. a beautiful not a defend letting the gloss 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 on a totally and plates westward. these active plates boundaries are called fonts, default in the north and follows most of its energy from east to west. 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 sites of the next earthquake and it'd be a different machine at the funding. they get to deal with just non g g a and many of the experts is perfectly clear is done bowl and it's 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 east unable limits people can do? all these simply at the mercy of nature. i meet with the spanish scientist who is investigating this very question, size smaller, just pepsi. see how much, you know, scouts know,

she's based up 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 as quick before they hit the moment. this is one of the most challenging questions the 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 that new cases that maybe before we're not the police the i'm not seen as gonzalez searching for previously undertake to passengers 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 to end emergency management to storage, the assets and the good. how feels how to network of seismic stations on steve lee . although we meet phyllis to buy cuddly, old low from outside, he asked the depth of 300 me says the g o send records, the tiniest move. and so the crust is, is it? yes. and the here we have basically 3 the luggage which basically received the date that that is coming from the instrument and compared it 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 that's meant presidency in kyra. and from there they send this to us almost in real time. did you have said, what's them if the center of a major earthquake was to be located near the size make station eastern goal could be willing to head of the 1st waves. then the b,

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 the building as to get to safety. as a warning could be given earlier, it could save thousands of lives here off the coast to be stumble and the g is building up as police see, i'm 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 large, just click of money to 7 or more or the for the is creeping. and that would mean that the 2 sides of the falls are slightly sliding. and not posting that much energy, and therefore they are as quick, but they should at least have it's 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 or is it locked? i'm 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 in fault zone. but 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 and 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 one shows they can record the movements all again alone without interruption. the site is mixed, asians are installed along the north on a totally impulse. sometimes they can be found and they are symmetry, 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 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 haven't seen any station on the back 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 date they send inside this box. where do we have the data? okay, where we go from there did from and i looked 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 is a few places on this web tectonic plates a creeping cost. each of the scientists want to measure this movement as precisely as possible. that's why they're installing g p. s. supports of tracking devices on the sides of the folds, which can register even the smallest of movements. ocean the and when you look at the rocks, usually the green. these green rocks are southern pines. uh you said with a steve 60 due to slow motion to creep. amazing. yeah, uh, so he said the rocks that make this work, this slow. yeah. these are all tasks up on vines type on times and nothing needs to make or something. hm. yeah. so i've been to, yeah, this is,

these are all kind of very low friction. mm. so default is continues ongoing. yes. researches know that creeping plate movement impacts the risk of a nice quick but they don't yet know exactly how understanding more could help better assess east handles as 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 to make signature of a creeping fault. then they can better evaluate the fault and is dental. this was the spot where both discovered that the tech tonic plates were creeping, pulsed each other. this rule was built in the 1950s every year, the movements of tectonic plates results and one half of the world moving about 2

centimeters aside. okay, so here it's the amount of displacement supervisors. by now it's been displaced by about some meter. this will may seem somewhat and remarkable. in terms of us quick research, it was a very special find this type of 1st group. ok, there's 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 the liam for is one of the best, the places, the one of the staples behavior visit. there's like a sample yes for sciences here, dealing with the creep and active to donate 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 amount of both of the boundary boundaries bound longer between to the not the regime plate and here asian place a normal days of say, false are lost due to friction and accumulate this strain and leaves during the visit. the 1st so it so we basically spending on the width of the deadlines, so hopefully see, i'm not seeing those guns on you. yeah. jim. chuck, you are standing right on the phone line here. the sound, 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,

but further to the west towards eastern bullets, a different story. there are many signs that the tech tony creates a look south of the city. more and more energy is building up here here of 2 year. history indicates that this energy is released at intervals of about 250 years. the last page as quakes, the nissan boulevard in 15091766. 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. the i visit the g s that impulse down the institute slip, etc. see, i'm not seeing those goals 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 processes are also happening in the opposite direction . the are she, i'm a crust 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 and detach. again, the g a says experimental rock to summation the part of the tree is led by a recruit. becky, the just as the system his team use high pressure presses to recreate a natural process as you're getting, it's my end is a press one. now 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 standards, which instead of switching to the mind stanford eric are back. he wants to show me how hall dropped behaves in the folds of his colleague slowly increases the pressure of the press until it reaches 18 tons the blankets, lots of tiny pieces of chips. the sample would stood very high stress levels. we were now at about $220.00 mega pass scouts, which is a lot of field is that one was a very solid sample that ended fractured into a lot of little pieces, either kind of took a certificate to fall from the gun. so if you let such samples slide past one another, like what happens deep down in the fears owners, then you produce a lot of small eroded pieces, but that's called couch. and a few in class,

in the sub surface they rub past each other and you get jerking move and the for bias. not funds. oh god, think of available. 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, i'm 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 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 to just go process in 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. that's the idea behind in the some books experiments that i know totally in places presents it 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 folding at the boundary between the 2 plates. it's 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, they're going down some parts of the 50. so it's not on the horizontal displacement . you have also seen because that's coming up. exactly, and coming up uplifting in some far it's going down some slightly the

model makes me acutely aware of how the plate movements will inevitably affect calculations 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 scientist like pets. we see 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 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 half the on the journey. patricia matching those goals all makes use of every spend movement working on a paper about the dangers facing east dumble. her 1st stop is a field near on takia the she's able to witness 1st tend to bruce or force and us create kind of these tacos, john, and this kind of shows hon. olive grove, near the sushi. it's the real world. oh, wow. look at these beautiful, this is of the

following, the twigs, the us flew oceans here. the fish are 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 there's going to be a continuation of the specter it could be with, with further growth quakes, or is this like a natural incident that you'll slowly go even without source? by clicking on 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 uh, sufficiently unstable slope for sure. so i wouldn't be surprised if we see something like this that has not a spectacular this but something like this happening here. you are right. yeah. for that the main. yeah. should be good. thank you. right. hold on. i think you're

doing yes. you know, the motor less this but, but you see on this is with yeah, it's good with. yeah, 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. 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 hired us. it was us. we thought it was, it's not clear what exactly happened to you. it's postables, there was a large cavity, even the so all as gross. 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. a professional fascination meets personal horror. 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 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 wouldn't be facing requested or is the soul of the city going to return. and also we have seen in the way here, that's 7 of these buildings that's been spend as they are the shows that there is no one living in 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 we'd 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 which stood the quake residents had been going

to guest house and time. how is how ties every every 3 sites the the all the people of the stuff in the distance of the same fate. off to the 1999, the quake building regulations were tightened. kentucky servants theory houses

built off to that time should be us quick proof. but as the disaster in house high shows do, does that didn't adhere to the new regulations and up in canada, i keith book applies says the same holds true for eastern will focus. not part of the stumble, the cube for less money. we know that's half of all construction working to assemble is mostly on regulates. it's an unsupervised contract, it's very likely that's 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 double collapse like houses of colds and enough quick just like what happened to non takia, every house that crumbles trumps people on denise 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. it's lee at the university of policy. i visit the research foundation. i can tell you, one of its found is gm, mechanical review says or chance with ames to reduce the risk of quakes post to human. to do this, the research of the test buildings in their original size is going on. 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 world's largest us quick simulators. we can have a 5000 songs applied vertically dynamically. we can control the vertical load and displacement the tudor position. and we can move in arizona direction. whatever is inside there, to test clearly shows ridges, 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, it's just being tested. you see that there is an actuated from there that could move the same busy direction. and there is an x rays of air that the bush unfolding 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 medic, i'm 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 to real velocity or, you know, size vitamins to get the not fall from pa vi. in milan, i get the opportunity to conduct an us quick experiments myself after stuff up ice that if i'm not she and this call excel developing shock absorbers that make buildings more 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 the

buildings, vibrations in our experiments. the shock absorbers on mount sit 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 easily flushes over the rim of the gloss. ok, now we see the, the on the yes, we can use the windows shock absorbers activated. the liquid remains almost entirely, and the gloss is that still keeps those perform even better on the us. quick simulator and probably the building on the right with the sockets builders installed on the roof is fairly damaged.

the, theoretically the roost of any existing structure could be retro assisted with this shock absorber system induced phone 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 in the stumble? 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 as a 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 invasive at doors. the shock absorbers could at least buy residents a little time to get to the 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 or 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 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 kind of, um, tells me the transition is well underway. as of some good cuz you're telling me there are 7000 active construction sites every month. that's 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 didn't think about any fundamental construction is never ending. eventually they'll come here and these 3 small buildings will be torn down and replaced of the big building. and the effect is it's good business for these people this, 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, say that's the, that's the goal of the end to fix that. so it sounds like eastern bull will 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? that's what of and plan that keeps pulling up las vegas. 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, use the shuttle, you live in 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 watched and ways just help fails to arrive or arrives too late. well, no people say you wanted me to us quick strikes, eastern the, the we meet the residents in front of the old apartment building desperate. 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 us quick say, why didn't you happen to be just a woman doesn't 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 salisia martinez, gal, zone 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, but i am very worried is to be quite comes what will remain of my beloved 16
