8:34 pm
a glimpse of the site and of just 60 mount, attended in las vegas, the economic losses in the city as well. joe, to help in america for inside story the well, that spring in guests now and in america, we have to have to have that she's a witness and community volunteer in the affected areas and says is some of the best co founder and as to in chief of morocco? well, news. i didn't sell thompson. we have mohammed, my d kasanya is associate professor of the structural engineering at the university of south hampton. if i will welcome to all of you. thank you for being here on inside story. i want to start by getting a bit more of a picture of events on friday evening. su huh. you'll the in the are cash. well you, when the quite struck just off to 11 pm at nights and what happens?
8:35 pm
uh, actually i was sleeping with my baby boy in my bed when that happened. uh, it was the like, you know, the whole apartment was checking the bed was checking, and it was very shocking because i was taping. i didn't really know what was happening, but i just had the, you know, there is thing to work my baby and to, to run away. and then when i was like in just in my building in the stairs, i heard all my numbers, my neighbors screaming and the kids. so that's what that's really affected me when i so kids crying and trying to find the parents. this is when i really like, i relied like something big happens. me then my big my payment was clipping actually, but when we went outside and so like, we heard people screaming and you know like a big time is everywhere. he woke up and he talked to to, you know, to get scared. so i just told him like, don't worry, there was
8:36 pm
a big party going to on the, in the see, we are just having fun all together. it's okay. don't like, you know, i really tried to, to, to show anything to my baby because i don't, i didn't want him to pay me can. so he had this, this was my 1st risk like the that my name because it, so to alaska, it goes on to people and morocco on use to of quakes they, they may not have known was, it was certainly not what to do. yeah, exactly. like we are not used to that so we didn't know like if it was a bomb or if, if it was a natural disaster, it then, then people just took the car or you know, whatever, they could just escape the places where you know, we have buildings on the streets and we, we street and went to the parks or to the parking square. people started to just uh, you know, relies what's, what's happening and yeah. menu menu to us. we just clicked on the side. nobody for
8:37 pm
the enter to, to the, to how to mohammed this was the biggest as quite to hit morocco in a 120 years. can you describe the geology of it to us? yes. and i think it isn't most of the earthquakes the, that they accept their own live or historically he's at the boundary of the tech tony place. so some more rock located at the location where it's the regime plate with the template that they need. so this is right in the boundary. so as like the rate, that's what happens is the boundaries this play take. the place is constantly moving and then pushing, pulling the biggest each other. so what else will get guys is essentially when material between these 2 bran brandy are displayed. pushing gave each other. it's time to take any, any, any, any more force. so that he breaks, that fracture is essentially like truck, an explosion is that price?
8:38 pm
it really then energy cost of the, the, the increase essentially gravel shaking. so i would know this. yes, it didn't happen. and so then the after, after a few few years, it happened then, and that's essentially what it's called last week. and if you have noticed some of the people who would say before the actually the feel of the shape gravel city, they had had some horrible noise coming coming through. and that's essentially the sound that because the sound arrives earlier before the actual debate due to the ground checking out. and that's essentially what caused the as good as interesting, and some of the, well we who, when the, as quite hit i just got back from, from above to see my mother. and i was playing with my friends and i'm going to both her and i went to the for the my sister told me they never been what's going to be the name of the speed they going to be sign it or you like,
8:39 pm
what do your site then the, the, some of you guys' sole source of swinging that's of size, the fall space. then later your items we have just gone to as a strong box and they needed to be my 1st reaction was in june for everybody to but also the house. we went to the government and i got my phone like what made your brothers, what are you most think 1st channel name, and then if you have affairs, can you, can you tell me for me to spend the most expensive and best everybody in the abilities in the house and for the funeral, so any of the shops of the i then i in the office told me the same, the bus on the 1st of the functional physically to them to the finish the turn. so
8:40 pm
let's wait an interest. i always just sent to my surprise, the good comments, i'm saying the same in the case modification that it in a but hopefully it's, i mean, i realized that we were on hold. we were facing a nationwide the 1st going as far as the, you know, and i'm just going to talk in the many ways. we're the ones that are local. i think that's the investigation that's going we have in jersey, which is located 571. maybe some, some people say if we, if we look a little bit more now at the epicenter, because that was in the high atlas mountain south of myra cache. and that's where a lot of the rescue efforts now being centered. so how, what do we know of the situation in the villages the outside of assessing?
8:41 pm
some of them very removes, like the situation is like the problem for people who want to help is that the roads are close by of threes. because of course, for the security they need to, uh, to may be if i create the new people, the people that when the newly find so who they and the roads are also like very and safe. uh so there, there are like many drop off points near the villages. uh, like the citizens can just come there and distribute and do deep uh, you know, the water for the meal or whatever they have to share it. so yeah, this is the only way that we can help from outside of the village is because the roads are wrong. the villages are not safe, and they are like closed for our security by door to reach you. do you know if they will start to use have reached every one who needs help? you know, know like, uh,
8:42 pm
we can see on social media as many people from the villages. there was a village. the name is adair, still i think and they're asking people to it's, it's um, may be almost 3 hours from or i guess, and they're asking like people please come, come help us because nobody came now and we are like, we have no food. we have nothing, we just need help, but there are like places where it's very, very hard to reach. and there is like almost no network. and i think that's also with the er creek. the roads are also damaged by, you know, by the mountains. so they're in place of like, i think that nobody, nobody reached this place. so for now, some of these areas that are very remote and i've been long renewed by the government on say these villages, the roads to them would not have been good in the 1st place. i'm the one does what sort of services exist the if nothing is coming in from outside,
8:43 pm
what is the health situates health service situation the like, what is the food situation like in these places? they were the ones to run the media and the tv is so yesterday, in a model house and a little bit more of the resources to work. i mean there is truth in, in my experience for trauma, broad thing with the terms and conditions. are we doing? what are the good he says i found in the patients the best way is located in the area. we choose not. so i'm with the babies and from the start the process from the going to the front of the house for, for vacation. and no, and i just noticed or its being uh, unimaginative area because uh. busy i would have to be just as far on
8:44 pm
the using the losses. uh which are the lots to bring the ship. but the truck has because know the incentives the truck is, is freaking. despite all the sources. the result of the house on the board is, is, is out of boxes. uh, these are the most areas because as far as the, oh the uh, the heavier no. the senior was sold in moses are uh, you know, because of the rugs, the same problem. because of the, the, the box on the best way. so uh no, that's why i was so unsure said, the despise the deform. so the email just in front of the house because the hours of the appointment, there are many people are as to uh, originally and uh this, uh, the best way to get it done. so the 1st thing needs to be done uh uh,
8:45 pm
from the bank of the lease, uh, typically needs to locate the damage and the human laws. and the, and the how that if we look at these buildings in these villages that people have managed to reach. we can see the houses of just fold it in on themselves. can you give us an idea of how they were constructed and, and how that contributed to that devastation in this as quick? i mean, the, i mean what we have sitting in morocco, we have city really sitting on the screen. we have seen very similar damages into our key or another, whether it's something you know can conceive. so remedial is, is the same as story. we receive open enrollment and all that. so these are just the really just the section what we call them non engineering building. so the main, we may say that we don't know very high and low one or max of 2 story building may, may october breaking, played so generally in escalating these awful anything besides the load and the
8:46 pm
centurylink would be some, some of the ground shaking. they, they pulled down so that's a, that's the area and so forth is on some more recent where they would look great, what's concrete, but they have not the game. they've had it for about another minute just every morning, email a showed or, or then it'd be faded away from that actually at the center for the game doors, we have things but not the recently design will be based on the size make his own code. so, so then just sort of stand the buildings. so those are the main problems. and unfortunately most of these buildings are relocated in the villages at all. and obviously it is very difficult to rescue them block as you want to explain the into school. so a, so it means that really everyone's more effort, try to identify and do something about these really just because this is this, i wouldn't know about aspects of it. we don't know where that happens. but we know that is that on a slick program, we have to do something before
8:47 pm
a disaster like this this, this happens to be prepared essentially 40. so if we look at our cash says they own 50, the medina, that was very badly damaged as well. just took us through what you've been seeing there on the streets. yeah. like this morning i've been there and the whole monday night is completely destroyed the 8 so very painful to see that because you know, it's the heart of the city is the, is the history. oh, so the city and this is like, you know, up like you know, more and more. i guess it's a world where i city and we know it because of it's medina. um very, very hard to do with the stacked. yes. submit. when you have, i saw, i saw you looking particularly upset by hearing that the medina has been so badly destroyed. should it have been wet trophy message to be able to
8:48 pm
withstand a seismic event like this given its historic significance. the problem with the medium is leg work as well says, or they just weren't about to respond in criticism world. they don't, they alternative options to choose. those would be the funding $21110.00 centuries ago. i'm the 1st part of this building are ongoing chevy. i want to be smaller, strong, didn't more than the because they don't because they're kind of top of the we just bought a lot of the dollars over the past. so they get to the guys house you know, you know, was made of uh, usually for sure. as far as many, you know, they sort of in these were the markets for us for those issues. unforseen us on this. therefore the console is very upsetting this way. so i mean, and as, as more of them was very me, i bus 2 our i stories in the front of the diesel,
8:49 pm
just as soon as we can hear just from our system for me and for the, for the heart of the it is very sad to see the, the dimensions did use market or cheese us to our site is or is going to assume what part of the city and bring the truck. the interesting point is i just want to sort of that some a home in austin, whether an ancient, a building such as we see and medina can be restored appropriately and withstand a seismic event us. but yes, they tell me, i mean, it'd be up against the size of the faith become essential, right? right. so if we these, these ation monument because they wouldn't hesitate done different methods and to do it so easy by doable. we have a science and technology to do these things. it's all to do with the cost and you know how the government is planning to do these things. but in order, in terms of the notice in the junior, i think the science we are well even up to actually do these things are mentioned
8:50 pm
about cycling or installation or the other other method that we could potentially use to, to, to, to, to real feet on are you activity, they don't hesitate to read this on the s voice co pays for that? what does he need to do or what comes from the government? so i mean, it depends of the country. so, so the government, whoever is responsible for a to, to, to a, for the, for those, the money was indeed the nation. so they, they don't want to pay for when these, these, the pretty. so if somebody, when we look at the villages these very remote places, but especially haven't really have, have much government assistance, should we expect the government to put top of money that is needed to build their homes appropriately to withstand another us quick in the discrete discussion so just to join, what's the motion on exploring the agency?
8:51 pm
so i think uh the sign the, the actual, the, it won't be much more as far as a decision. so just because the question is a work. ready printer, so sign up on through us go used to be special. i think the issue has been to the play store or the asian spirit is up to the door. them explain what's going on, where to go to the critical section of the the motors in getting better than some of those were a strong by just quite a bit. and i just come and see when the garbage who actually blows on his own resources to be sure to really be on the areas of the thing and take all the measures the new lease restaurant. so this would be the best thing. best areas when we're going to spanish one be uh session because these times um, online we with the $4.00 that you wouldn't have it. then we started the thing
8:52 pm
uh, queen intuitive because no we didn't. this has to be on the square. and one of the, a strong words on minnesota measures for all the gotten to a form the issue that happened in the interest. so how do you feel that the government is doing enough for a poster in myra cache? uh said that many people having to sleep outside as many people still all haven't received any assistance, but any formal assistance from the government will very much relying on each other to help each other. and there's a lot of anger that, you know, i, 3, i think that the government is doing their best to help everyone and the most the needed people because nobody like we didn't expect that. so it came by surprise it . so i think it's fix some days to organize it to,
8:53 pm
to try to help people as much as they can. so i really think they're doing the best i so i, so some for distribution, some water distribution on the street, even the done by the police. so yeah, um i think the government is doing their best because it just came by surprise and nobody, it's never like to know really, really for that especially morocco where we never really experience that kind of designs are so many of the 11 how much is being offered from outside some questions off because why morocco hasn't formerly requested assistance yet the. busy one the i think has been so so far. busy the government things that's our top 0 does have a cheese around the. busy resources on google to go into work phase, the aftermath of the way that we have seen just
8:54 pm
a day that the can get the structure of the research on seems like formulas or as the process or the process draws and do and engineering just to have the interview, but i just, uh do some more of an expertise. i've seen this box on once it's reading it's reading mean the expertise on the big. busy was uh they saw so i'll say something that's gone by surprise. the rundown as far as the most expensive expansion was reading to do with the situation over lives. and i think it's, we've taken a few days for the dishes to realize the name, 4 o 4 and no, it isn't so gotcha, born in the front of the country to be mentioned with the swing of interest money. and well, how does that have been off to shocks?
8:55 pm
uh, how dangerous all these and how long should people expect to be feeling them for? to the yeah. so what we saw that there was one of the think yes that with this morning it was, it was around for my for say and one of them as with what we saw a turn key, but the they, they can go a few days. reeves something a month after the event. so i the reason because i have to showcase deb again. as i said below the ground, everything is an equality and once we get the fraction, so this is the system with always the area. so until everything gets set, so, so this to get more move, but during the moment we get more breakage including the big like what we saw here asking a big official. let me see here is this motor. and actually when we get this more and more as good, smaller to the ship when they come in. so that's actually good because it really is really so they do, they essentially have more time to be out of the big, big practice. so they can go for a few days, months, but,
8:56 pm
but as time goes that reproduce, that means that would come down. but we can say for sure when the so i just want to get the last what to hear because this is a traumatic event. as you highlighted in the beginning, i want to get an idea from you and from the people around you, how you are coping with the psychological aspects of this. i know that some of my neighbors just left the country because they couldn't handle the i'm 50, for example. uh for me when i came back to my apartment yesterday. uh, the only thing that i wanted to do is just to you know, to, to clean all the water because of my apartment and my flood. and i also called the timber to fix everything. i came to everything. maybe just to pretend nothing happened. i don't know this, this was my way to, you know, to handle the, to handle the things. and then i just went to the supermarket and i, i, you know, i put me as much as the thing i put in my car to, to go to, to distribute for,
8:57 pm
for the distribution today. and the to, to have to do so that the country is where they come together to deal with this. yes, and that's very beautiful to see. uh, there was a big solidarity between people. you know, now i feel like in the city there is no more distance between people. we feel we are a whole big family. uh the supermarkets are full of people. uh, trying to get her basic needs to to just leave and drop her drop a fine, sorry. so yeah, even the, even though they ask for uh, is trying to help as much as they can from, from the outside. uh so yeah it's, it's very beautiful to see how we can do. we can just be fine with the instructor to how to 12 each other. okay, well we certainly wish you well as you went through these difficult days ahead,
