ask if it's devastating us quite striking this down to the cost for a responsive source. it's wanted to say a web and he knows how to use it. this guy knows about energy in a way that these as much structures have no idea what doesn't look behind because it started this energy. john, tell us gas from russia to musical weapons. don't say reset, i'm dw the let them but, and this one's the smallest her mom's device to clean the nip. 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 for turnaround. has to change on the list for many people, health arrived too late to dissolve the claim to more than 50000 live. my name is nissan. of the com. 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 is assembled any day.

the no, no. i'm going to stumble, visiting my best friend bush. she lost both how long ago and how often have time to say 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 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 4 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 had 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 our childhood playground. i said us at the 1999 as quick hits. we comes here with all natives. that was in summer, on the 17th of august, 1999, a severe, a quick struck 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 crates 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 system. he's done. bull is the economic cost of the country. and us quick here matching the magnitude,

which is the one that struck south eastern turkey was spelled dissolves to for the whole country. and it's a 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 had 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 since he 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 the alarm, a 1000 pending us quakes, including the one that struck south eastern turkey, which even when there was a small quake in february, 3rd, in the southeast, in osmani, in the media, asked me about that. and i said, forget about us, man, you look at my rush. i'm concerned about my rush that was 3 days before the huge click on february 6th. in high tide, 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 what a quake of this magnitude would do to eastern ball. but just like the house all the

problems, eastern boasted so 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 and our region, the, the funniest that need a visible on the depth and letting the glass feel the tricky lines on the, on a totally relate to the north is the region plates, the radium plates and pushes from the sauce. removing 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 other experts. it's perfectly clear he's 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 tackling how to best to detect signs of as quick before they hit the at the moment. this is one of the most challenging questions, a new message. new for assessing techniques, one 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 may be 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 dissolves to enter emergency management tools, storage the office, 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 so the crust is, is it. and the here we have basically 3 data logos, which basically receives the date that that is coming from the instrument and compare that to digital. and then with the ends 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 earthquake was to be located near the size,

make station east central 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 the whole thing 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 of the stumble and the 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 the right to the 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 slighting. i'm 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 fulton them on 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 maternity 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 starts out 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 over here alone without interruption. the size make stations are installed along the newest, on a totally and folds. sometimes they can be found in the or 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 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 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 boat 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 go from there did, 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. i think 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. ocean the and when you look at the rock seriously, the green, these green rocks are 2nd pines. uh if i said with a steve 60, due to slow motion to creep. amazing. yeah. uh, so we see the rocks this make this close this slow. yeah. these are green roads. i've been 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 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 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 to, might be by now it's been displaced probably about some meter. this will may seem somewhat and remarkable, 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, the frequency visit. there's like a temple yes for 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. 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 gate, normal days of say the phones are lost due to friction and accumulate the strain and release during to visit the 1st. so it's so we basically spending on the width of the month. so that's the 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

these med 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 tech tony plate, 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 $250.00. he is the last page of quakes, the nissan boulevard 50 no 9 in 1766. so if i 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 upset and pulsed, i'm the institute slip i p c. 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 founded 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 crusts to the side. in some areas, for example, on south america's west coast. these process 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 of the plate, boundaries the rocks of, rub against each other, into look and detach. again, the g upsets experimental rock to summation, look over a tree is led by a recruit. becky, the geophysicist and his team use high pressure presses to recreate us natural processes. you're getting, it's my and these are press one. i live in mines on how does we 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 only 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 jobs which can spare, especially the mind stanford eric are back. he wants to show me how hall dropped behaves and the faults of his colleague slowly increases the pressure of the press until it reaches 18 tom, the blankets, lots of tiny pieces of chips. the sample would stood very high stress levels. we were now at about $220.00 mega pass scouts, which is a lot of field is that one was a very solid sample to ended, fractured into a lot of little pieces, either kind of took a certificate to prove off and the there's a 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 rubbed past each other and you get jerking move and the by not months of woke. i think of the day when molten ropes 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 idea or 2 from the playground. in the modeling lab, i'm helping geologist eyes and cause our re set up and experiments. it will help me visualize movements on the north, on a totally unfold straight cream. yes. for the last time 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. we don't the skinny to the if you something

there's to a mentor skate into now. and also he said, just the processing nature takes thousands to millions of years down the skin to the left, 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 costs of millions of years. although the movement is only from side to side, the sand is rising, unfolding at the boundary between the 2 plates. it's possible this type of movement is what forms the mom or a scene east 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 lifting. so it's not on the horizontal

displacement, you have also some of course that's coming up exactly coming up up, lifting in some thoughts going down some sizing. 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 implants will continue to drift westwood generation tremendous power. the as more and more pressure builds up near eastern bal, this impending stress is what drives scientists like pets. we see i'm not seeing those goes off to keep gathering as much knowledge as possible. the song, as muller just seizes every opportunity to learn more about the tectonic processes that she wants to goes to the quick soon. in house, on the scientist travels from east on the least

was to hold some takia as well as the cities most impacted by the clay can february the along the road to the south tucker so sorry, ceaser sets up 10 cities, people who could not leave the creek, so it has been sheltering here on the journey pets. we see, i'm not seeing those guns all makes use of every spam movement working on a paper about the dangers facing east on the 1st stopped is a field near on takia. the she's able to witness 1st tend to bruce or force and us create count on these tacos, john, and this kind of shows hon. olive grove near the sea. it's the real oh, wow. look at this beautiful. this is of the

following. the twigs the us slopes and 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 the spectrum? it could be with, with further earth quakes, or is this like a natural incidence central? slowly go even without the great salon flights. 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 then may. yeah, she'll be good. thank you. right. hold on. i think you're doing yes. you know, the motor, elizabeth, but, but you see all 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 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 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 to you. it's possible that 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 of 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 fishing this a town is destroyed. for example, this used to be the ally of a, of a most ok. these buildings might be inevitably last, but now we wouldn't be facing requested or is the soul of the city going to return . and also we have seen on the way here, that's some of these buildings that's been stand, they are the says 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 study 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 which stood the quake

residents had been wound to guest house and time. how was how ties every every space and street outside the be around all the people of the stumble destined for the same fate. off to the 1999,

a quake building regulations were tightened. kentucky servants, theory, houses built off to that time should be as quick proof. but as the disaster in house high shows builders that didn't adhere to the new regulations and up in canada, i keith book applies says the same holds true for eastern will not punitive the letter stumble. the key for less than we know does half of all construction work and is done. both is mostly on regulated on, on supervisors to contract. it's very likely that's a building codes are not being followed here. which means, despite the regulations of custom booth will most likely be in a very bad position. should an earthquake striking the libby with the aside from the pool management of new construction, there are tens of thousands of residential buildings that were built the full 1999 buildings that will collapse like houses of colds in enough 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 quakes it to me at the university of policy. i visit the research foundation. i can tell you, one of its found is g on me credit card v says i chance with ames to reduce the risk of craig's post to human. to do this, the research of the test buildings in the original size. you see the red line there, which means that we have somewhere hiding as high pressure. so we have to be careful while we go, because 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 have uh, 5000 thoughts applied vertically, dynamically. we can control the vertical load and displacement the to the patient. 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 your own well connected. do not stand a charm. this is exactly how many houses into okay, of build 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 this invisible action . and there is an x rays of air, that's the bush and pulling this direction. 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 cannot be scale to a small uh, space you may a so, so on. we should be as close as possible to be a velocity or you know, size, the adamant to get good data. not fall from pa, via in milan. i get the opportunity to conduct an us quick experiment myself at the stall, so ice taxed if i'm not she and this colleague still developing shock absorbers that make buildings more a quick resistance. he shows me how the system well,

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 mounted on the roof of the structure. the vibration simulation us quick. the shock absorber should reduce the movements of the shell, the without the shock absorber. the liquid is the least flushes over the rim of the gloss. the, the ok, now we, we see the, the on the yes click on the, on the windows. so could zuba is activated, the liquid remains almost entirely in the gloss, is that still keeps to boost, perform even better on the us. quick simulates, and probably the building on the right with the sockets builders

installed on the roof is badly damaged. the, theoretically the roost of any existing structure could be rep for assisted with this shock absorber system induced phone needing in naples. the 1st of 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 as quick resistant. so could the ice sack shock absorbers also protect older buildings and the stumble? that's easy. so if an earthquake happens, 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. the technology is not amazing. is it easy to be installed on an existing building? because it's composed of volume like to materials that are falling through the assembly to directly on the construction site. mm hm. so you can imagine that this is a not to a fly that went into stocks. are you not see way about to you are not evasive. it was the shock absorbers should, at least by residents, a little time to get to the safety of cost and storing them would be in a numerous undertaking. but it could save countless lives right now though there are no plans for anything like this. as we speak, tens of thousands of buildings in eastern beula, anything but us creek proof that leaves hundreds of thousands of people defenseless

against a quake. 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. 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 was $7000.00 construction sites in this part of the city is which then about any funds 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 affect if 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, say that's the, that's the goal of the in the fix that the see the so it sounds like eastern boot 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 implying that a peaceful look at the law says beyond them that the construction sector has been left to the market. 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, given us quakes,

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 and night took refuge during the 1999 us quick feels almost like an luxury resorts. my friend bowers tells me that people in hotel i say it smelt the dead who suffer from an us quake. it's the survivors. the ones who watch the friends and relatives died. the other ones who watched in waste has help fails to arrive or arise too late. well, no people say you went to major us creek strikes eastern 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 in the buildings will be torn down because they're not as quick say by the images. only 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 ccr. massey knows council and the other scientists have showed me that they are working on ways to help with some dissolved stuff. but it may already be too late to protect the people of the stumble. i am very worried is the be quite comes what will remain of my beloved 16,
