moss: october 7th: terror attacks and you're up to date coming up next. doc film looks at the threat of a major earthquake. and it's denver. i'm on me and he says, thanks for joining us. the i sorry. one on 6 times to please come and see more people than ever on the move worldwide in search of a gun. one great timing is very, very difficult to find out about time on store info. mike runs the a hello. i live in the, in a couple months or 6, this ones, the smallest her mom's, suffice to clean the nip.

on february 6th, 2023 massive us quakes devastated south eastern touch east has holly problem. huffman this case, i'm just the one rescue like 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. it's threatened by the same fate which devastating disease in his high and major us creek dissolves to could strike eastern will any day.

the no, no, i've been this done the visiting my best friend bush. she knows both how long and holmes and how tired 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 tie height and then not to me. then she goes to message from her cousin and the what type of proof in for the cost on this happened. it says i just escaped from the rubble of my house and my parents a stupor and it comes and knocked. i hear my mother screaming mine. we can't get out of the homeland house bottom. she has relatives lives 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 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. but you 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 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 playground. i said us asked when 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 south east of east dunbar,

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 residents, 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 system. he's done. bull is the economic cost 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. mister 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 most in vibrant city is in danger. so how immune and isn't us quite dissolved. and what comes the quinn says, would it 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 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 se, 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 in a rush that was 3 days before the huge click on february 6th, and outside the level of teaching students just and as a couple of out of mazda of quake would strike the hatch. i region in south west in turkey. it's difficult to even conceive of what a quake of this magnitude would do to east denver. but just like the how to all the

province eastern bullshit to top tectonic lea, 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 on 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 relate to the north is the region plates, the radium plates and pushes from the sauce, moving the unintelligent plates westward to 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 about moving west towards stumble. and that's why the mom or a sea off stumble would be the site of the next earthquake. and it'd be that the machine had the funding. they get to be all the 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 does all stuff. the a mega us queen 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 a spanish scientist who is investigating this very question sized molar. just pepsi

. see i'm asking us goes all the, she's based at the job and research center for geosciences g s. go ahead and post them with her projects. quite content. she's typing how to best to detect signs of as quick before they hit the at the moment. this is one of the most challenging questions the new for assessing 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 is gonzalez searching for previously undetected passions. and seismic recordings i accompany her to the tiny

island of simply all the to find out more around, you stumbled. the tuck is dissolved, the engine, emergency management tool, storage, the assets and the g. s. the have built out a 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 sophia crossed. this is it. and the here we have basically 3 data lovers, which basically receive the date that that is coming from the instrument and compare that to digital. and then with the runs with 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 some management presidency in on kyra. and from there they send this to us almost in real time. did you have said puts them if the center of a major us quake was to be located 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. it's 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 to be stumble and a g is building up as police see, i'm not seeing those guns, no explains. and the, with our, with to, with, with our research with. right. so that their mind, whether the fault is locked and it costs a higher to potential for a very low to 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 there's

a little bit smaller. 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 size make station sets up 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 to read this and shows they can record the movements all again alone without interruption. the seismic stations are installed along the north. honda totally in folds, sometimes they can be found in the are symmetry, protected in the community whole 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 today 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 back, both of, uh, mazda, but this is a very narrow, a room in which it is predicted, and the data is being collected, then there is the instrument and the data is send inside this box. where do we have the data, okay, where we come back to it from a 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. a thing you see now here you have a nice click the,

the region. the eastman passes, one is a few places on us where 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. motion the and when you look at the rock seriously, the green, these green rocks are 2nd signs. uh, if i should be face these things to do to slow motion to creep. amazing. yeah. so he said the rocks this makes exclusive slow. yeah. these i agree are also, except on vines type on times and nothing needs to make or something. hm. yeah. so

i've been to, yeah, i 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 a nice quick but they don't yet know exactly how understanding more could help. lesser 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, 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 sweet creeping cost, each other. this rule was built in the 1950s. every

year, the movements of tectonic plates results and one half of the will moving about 2 centimeters to the side. okay? so here it's this amount of displacement. since my due to by 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 4th is one of the best of places . the one of the staples behavior of the frequency visit. there's like a temple. yes. flow sciences here dealing with the creep and octave tectonics. this creepy or was discovered in 1969,

about 9 or 19 years after the 1st discovery of just fed them on a, on site address for your student, kind of in europe. 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 asian place a normal days of say the phones are locked due to friction and accumulate this the tray and release during the visit. the 1st so it's 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 that totally and then you're raising plates has been moving past each other for 8 to 12000000 years. in

the estimate prussia, 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 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 overdue you scientists in germany are investigating just how great the threats the city is. the i visit the g upset in post. i'm the institute slip i p c. i'm not seeing those goals all works. this as well as quick research, it's happening at the highest level. it's 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, on south america's west coast, these protest is 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 abrupt is amazing. the part of the tree is led by a recruit. becky, the g us business system, his team use high pressure presses to recreate a natural process as you're getting, it's my end is a press one. i live in mines on how does we're moving to the press. now we'll take a hard rock like this and put it inside the press on business,

and then we'll load it actually until it breaks. so now we'll go over here, open the glass, paying for you. and if you could please place the stone in between these 2 stam, jobs switching, spelled, switching gears in mind. stanford 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 mega pass scouts, which is a lot if you use that one was a very solid sample to ended, fractured into a lot of little pieces, either kind of took a certificate to fall from the gun. so if you let such samples slide past one another, like what happens deep down in the fears owners, then you produce

a lot of small eroded pieces. that's called couch and a few in class in the sub surface. they rub past each other and you get jerking, move from the by not ones oh god, take 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 the us quick research has borrowed an idea or 2 from the playground in the modeling lab. i'm 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. i pushed to the left one. in other words, westwood, just like the end is hardly in place. i think we down the scary to the if you

something there's to a mentor skate into now. and also he said just the process and nature takes thousands to millions of years down the scale to the left to municipal there. so we can understand the process behind that sort of process. that's the idea behind in there's 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 false over the course 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 east on board. 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 it comes 50. so it's not on the horizontal

displacement. you have also some of course 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 taquita. because this movement is not going to start expanding, the totally implants 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. patricia 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 half the

scientist travels from east on the least, was to hold some talk you as well as the cities most impacted by the creek in february along the road to the south tucker so solar jesus sets up 10 cities, people who could not leave the crate, so it has been sheltering here on the journey pets. we see a matching those goals all makes use of every movement working on a paper about the dangers facing east on the 1st stop is a field near. i'm takia the she's 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 see get it's the real oh wow. look at these beautiful. this is of the

following. the twigs, the us flew opens 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 there's going to be a continuation of this fact that it could be with, with further quakes, or is this like a natural incident that you'll 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 would have for the next house in sufficiently unstable snow for sure. so i wouldn't be surprised if we see something like this but has not a spectacular this but something like this happening here. you're 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 thought you, 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 a what the west flowing 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 to you. it's possible there was a large cavity even nice to 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 truth is it's the collapse buildings that kill people. not the quake itself. and takia was famous for its beautiful, vibrant old stitching this a destroyed. for example, this used to be the alley of a, of a most ok. these buildings might be inevitably last, but now we wouldn't be facing, requested it 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 stand as they are says that there is no one living in them. and therefore the question is, of course,

many of them died as a consequence of this quick. but those that survive, they likely left the some what else and when these formulas will 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 you sent me the the you call to help but think what is more buildings had withstood the quake residents

have been willing to get counts and time. how is how ties every every 3 sites the slightest all the people of the stuff to destined for the same fate. off to the 1999,

a quake building regulations were a titan, kentucky 7. siri houses built off to that time should be as quick proof, but as the disaster in house i 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 gold plan, or they deliver stumble, the cube for less money. we know that's half of all construction work and it's done . boat is mostly on regulates. it's an unsupervised contract. it's very likely that the building codes are not being followed here. which means, despite the regulations just i'm bull 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 colleagues in 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 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, mechanical or v says origin foot aims to reduce the risk of craig's post to human. to do this, the research of the test buildings in the original science. which means that we have somewhere hiding its high pressure. so we have to be careful where we go, because sometimes that's, you know, 5 french candidates would be the engine. but anyway, here's the thing,

the, the scientists proudly shows off one of the world's largest us quick simulators. we can add 5000 songs, applied vertically dynamically. we can't control the vertical load and displacement the tudor position. and we can move in arizona direction, whatever 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 in tokyo built. the flows on well attached to one another. so it's, it's being tested. you see that there is an actuated from there that could move the same busi election. and there is an actuator where the bush and for the election.

so this is like, part of 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 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 canada, these k a 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 the 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 call weeks of developing shock absorbers that make buildings low as quick resistance. he shows me how the system was,

the sense that in my hands controls the plates in an us create. these plates move to dumping into buildings, vibrations in our experiments, the shock absorbers on 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. ok, now we received yesterday on the yes, click on these a 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 at 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 in the fall need in naples. the 1st all use like 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 always tack shock absorbers also protect older buildings and the stumble. that easy. so as an earthquake happens they, there's 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 as far as far as a re repair everything. that technology is known. amazing. is it easy to be installed on an existing building? because these compose volume liked the materials they thought modeling through 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 doing busy with all the shock absorbers could at least buy residence a little time to get to 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. 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 in this town and tells me the transition is well underway as us. and because you're telling me there are $7000.00 active construction sites every month. that's unbelievable. it's 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 doesn'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 bills that to me and effect if 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 the scene. so it sounds like eastern google 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 i'm 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. instead of being developed into parks or other outdoor areas, you can shop the experts,

calculate steps in the event of an us quake that would be less than one square meter of open space per resident. so where could people go with the houses were destroyed after the quake, the in comparison? the playground, when my neighbors, the night took refuge during the 1999 us quick feels almost like a luxury resorts. my friend bothers, tells me that people in hotel i say it's not the dad who suffer from an us quake. it's 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, no people say you wanted me to ask creak strikes, eastern to the we meet the

residents in front of the old apartment building. that's 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 they're not as quick say why the image is always a woman, doesn't know yet where she lives the, it wasn't so long ago that i knew very little about the danger of 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 as to be quite comes what will remain of my beloved assisting

the de cosigned to traffic down in bad traffic like smoke lab? no bumper to bumper grid, lock them out. 3 know, road rate see what we could and should learn from then read the minute d, w. they scam people wild want side but they are also victims

imprisoned and forced into slavery. d, w 's investigative team reveals who's behind a just cyber slavery scam factory. close out in 90 minutes on d w. the . so you didn't think and feel the same way you expect and one different things from life in your parent. i just want to pursue what sets my saw on fire. i just want to pursue what steps my saw on fire or you think your kid is 2 different, risky, irresponsible, unreasonable,

all stuff i want to in the clouds. it's time to to us. and then when generations class this week on dw, the, this is dw news and these are our top stories. so the white house says it's waiting, it's options for a quote, consequential response to a deadly drones strike on us troops. the attack hit a military outpost in jordan known as tower $22.00, killing 3 soldiers and wounding dozens more. us president joe biden has blamed around back the militants, though around. denies being involved. united nations has begun an investigation into its agency for palestinian refugees known as.
