for a meter ologist accuracy, however, is only about 30 percent. and this latest on the w and use this our a marietta ever seen. thanks for watching the ice cold. jessica new an expedition ventures on 2 places that no one has the climate research in the ice, the dogs march, 3rd on dw, the a hello. i don't live in the, in a couple months because this one's the smallest her mom's device to clean the

on february 6th, 2023 massive us quakes devastated south eastern touch east has holly prism has monday. the one rescue like vanessa turnaround has to change on the split for many people health arrived too late to dissolve the claim to more than 50000 lines. 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 devastates cities in his high major us creek dissolves to could strike eastern will any day.

the no, no. i'm going to stumble, visiting my best friend bush. she knows both hi, uncle and her aunt and have time to 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 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 to my house and my parents are still there and it comes and knocked. i hear my mother screaming line. we can't get out or somebody's house furnishes

relatives lives. and i'm talk yeah. 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 could 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. we're scared. we're worried that we're devastated by the fact that we're so powerless to do anything and rages us on it. we can't express our sorrow. yeah. no one can on board though. it's easy to

talk when you're here or this, but those of us who are here can't truly understand what happened there in that. that's why i'm a shame to say i'm from high 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 and teddy 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 eastern bo,

resulting in the death of nearly 20000 people. even though the few 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 its residents because of its eastern bowl is the largest city and talking with an official population of about 60000000. it's bigger than either london or paris. and it's estimated that the real number of residents is close to to 20000000 to he's difficulty cannot make situation is driving more people out of the country side and into the system. he's done well, 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 as last 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 had tie in the us creek so. so would be to them to be strong. it's of course, a difficult time of all of us are preparing for a major earthquake and new stumble event. and 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 major, excuse me. so many people feel the way through saying, does they live under constant threats? this molding, vibrant city is in danger. so how immune and isn't us quite dissolved? and what consequences would it have for eastern goal and its residents

in the cafe on the outskirts of the stumble, i meet with one of turkey's most well known geologist. professor now g, good for he is the scientist has been sounding the alone without him pending as quakes including the one that struck south eastern turkey, which even when there was a small quake on february 3rd, in the se, in awesome on. yet, the media asked me about that, and i said, forget about us, man, you look at my rush. i'm concerned about, my gosh, that was 3 days before the huge click on february 6th. and how to the level of teaching citizen as a couple of the 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 eastern ball. but just like the house,

all the problems, you stumble sits a top tectonic lea, active ground, meaning it's prone to us quakes. choose a cheer and look if the motion the new turkey is one of the most technically active areas of this planet. 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 her region the. the laws funny is that you all need it visible on the depth and letting the glass feel the turkey 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 natalia and plates westward these active plates boundaries are called fonts default and the north and follows most of its energy from east to west. that's why there's been so many magnitude 7 earthquakes throughout the 20th century

about moving west towards stumble. and that's why the mom or c off assemble would be the site of the next earthquake. and it'd be the machine had the 2 key ologist knology go, and many of the experts is perfectly clear, is dumble and it's millions of residents are facing a deadly disaster. the a mega us clay could strike at any time and the likelihood of it happening increases with each posting. yeah. is there anything that 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 smaller just pets. the see i'm asking us goes all she's based on the job and research center for geosciences g s that in pops done with her projects. quite cancer. she's typing house of special detect signs of as quick as the full day hits. most of all, 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 the efficiency vast amounts of data at the same time. give us a new that new cases that maybe 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 dissolves to enter, emergency management to storage. the efforts 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 $300.00 me says that you send records the tiniest move and sophia crossed is, is it? yes. and the here we have basically 3 dates. i love this, which basically receives the data 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 does have some one of them in presidency in on kyra. and from there they send this to us almost in real time through the dmv said fox, them if the center of a major us quake was to be location near the size,

make station east angle 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 is not nearly enough time for the people who are inside buildings to get to safety. if a warning could be given earlier, it could save thousands of lives, a tier of the coast, a v stumble, and a g is building up as police see, i'm not seeing those guns all explains. and the, with our, with to, with, with our research with thread so that the mind whether the fault is locked and it costs a higher to potential for a very low to quick of monday through 7 or more or 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 show

a little bit smaller. so the extent of the danger eastern role is facing depends on the behavior of the folds and the mom, the receipt is the fold creeping or is it locked and consigned to the tub and the also using seismic technology, pets, the see, i'm not, you know, go so and her colleagues are investigating these questions, some 200 kilometers, east of you stumble. estimate 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 setup by alpha m g s that's 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 team checks whether the station is detecting seismic signals and recording them correctly. the measuring devices function independently of the power thread. this them shows they can record the movements only alone without interruption. the size make 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 was 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 sense of what geosciences put cc on her colleagues. well 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 yeah, it looks like we have uh we have a biggest bike which um might be okay, so just to say okay, so here we have it saves me station on the 1st of uh month. but this is a very narrow room in which it is predicted, and the data is being collected there. 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 on the look through the data as well as there are, there is a now we have connected to a computer where we can visualize the data that is coming in and collect the data from the previous models. the thing you see now here you have a nice click the

the region, the easement 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 the pull to tracking devices on both sides of the folds which can register even the smallest of movements. most of the and when you look at the rocks, usually the green, these green rocks are self on pines. ah, if i should be face these things to do, to slow motion to creep. amazing. yeah. so we see the rocks make disclose the slow. yeah. these i agree are also i've been vines type on times and nothing means to make or something. mm. yeah. so they've been to, yeah,

this is, these are all kind of very low friction. hm. so the fault is continues ongoing. yes. the research as know that creeping plate movement impacts the risk of a nice quick, but they don't yet know exactly how understanding more could help. lesser recess is done those, those quick risk. that's why this research is so crucial. police, the motion is goes all and her colleagues wants to be able to identify the size, make signature of a creeping fault, then they can better evaluate the fault and it is done little this was the spot where most discovered that the tech tony, its wood creeping pulsed each other this rule was built in the

1950s every year, the movements of tech, tonic 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 like by now it's been displaced probably 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 the north side 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 describe them on a on site address for your student kind of in europe. is it you are asian saw? yes. so this is the big bundled 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. normally days of say the phones are locked due to friction and accumulate the strain and release during the visit the 1st. so it's so we're basically spending on the width of the deadlines. so that's the see. i'm not seeing those guns though, and yeah, didn't check you are standing right on the phone line here, the stomach only, and then your region plates has been moving past each other for 8 to 12000000 years

. in the past of this movement is happening relatively continuously. look further to the west, towards the stumble. it's a different story. there are many signs that protect on the plate, so look south of the city. more and more energy is building up a year after year. history indicates that this energy is released at intervals of about $250.00. he is the last page of quakes, the nissan boulevard 50 no 9 and 1766. so if i that math, another big us quite because actually overdue, you scientists in germany are investigating just how great the threats the city is. the i visit the g upset in post on the institute slip i p. c. i'm not seeing those guns all works. this is what a quick research is 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 cross to the side. and some areas, for example, themselves, america's west coast. these protest is also happening in the opposite direction. that he or she on the cross than the continental trust actually pushed against each of the crust is broken up like puzzle pieces, into many different plates. as a plate boundaries, the rocks are up against each other into look and attach. again, the g a says experimental rock to summation the tree is led by a recruit. becky, the geophysicist in his team use high pressure presses to recreate us natural processes you're getting, it's my and these are press one to live in mind. and how does we 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 only until the 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 pushing space twisting in 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 meg or pass scouts, which is a lot if you lose that one was a very solid sample to ended, fractured into a lot of little pieces, either kind of took a sticker to fall from the gum. so if you let such samples slide past one another shows like what happens deep down in the fears owners, then you produce

a lot of small who wrote it piece is that's called tao to tear bundles here in class. in the sub surface, they rub past each other and you get jerking move from the by not funds of will got taken to the molten rock. 3 are totally different the to the movements of the cross. they behave more like this modeling clay. it seems like to us quick researches borrowed an idea or 2 from the playground in the modeling lab. i'm helping geologist, eyes on causality. reset open experiments. it will help me visualize movements on the north, on a totally unfold straight cream. yes. for the law firm in the model, the assembly is at the bottom. i pushed to the left one. in other words, westwood, just like the totally implants. and they could be down the skinny to the if you

something there. so it meant to skate into now. and also he said just the process and nature takes thousands to millions of years down this get 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 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 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 it comes 50. 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 size of 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 bo, this impending stress is what drives scientists like pepsi c. 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 processors that she wants to goes to the quick soon in house on the

scientists 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 taco so started caesar sets up 10 cities, people who could not leave the crate, so it has been sheltering here on the journey pets. we see, i'm not seeing those goals all makes use of every spend movement working on a paper about the dangers facing east denver. a 1st stop 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 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 volley. does this mean that there's going to be a continuation of the specter it could be with, with further earth quakes, or is this like a natural incident that you'll slowly go even without or it's pretty clear 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 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 less this but, but you see on this is what, 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, chipped 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 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 ya. it's postables, i was a large cavity, even nice to all as grove. as a result of the quake, the water load, the rock ceiling may have split several meters to the side, then collapsed. the and then

tacky of professional fascination meets personal horror. for the scientist. 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 cities. this a town 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 on the way here the separate 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 on the, when these formulas we'd be willing to return here and that their life here again, or is the cd. so how come them to remain the lonely course to some extent? for a long time the you sent me the you called help, but think what is more buildings had withstood the quake or residents have been

willing to get out in time. how is how ties every every 3 sites the of the all the people of the stumble destined for the same fate. off to the 1999,

the 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, i 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 part of the letter stumble. the key for less money. 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, it's temple 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 colds in enough quick just like what

happens and then 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 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 cards says o h and slip aims to reduce the risk of tricks post to human. to do this, the research of the test building. in their original size. you see the red line there because something is going on, which means that we have somewhere hiding its high pressure. so we have to be careful where 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 add 5000 songs, applied vertically dynamically. we can control the vertical load and displacement, the tutor patient. and we can move in verizon. so the 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 the tone. 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 the same busi election . and there is an actuator where 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 the testing to understand the response of structures. essentially, even if today we have uh, a good capacity of numerical analysis. we are continuously discovering that to improve or to have good and reliable 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 or yep, adamant to get who they not fall from pa, via in milan. i get the opportunity to justin us, quick experiments myself, after stuff up ice that 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 was. the sense in my hands controls

the plates in an us creek. these plates move to dumping the buildings, vibrations in our experiments. the shock absorbers on mounted on the roof of the structure. the vibration simulation us quick. the shock absorber should reduce the movements of the show without the shock absorber, the liquid is the least flushes over the rim of the gloss. ok, now we see the uh oh yeah, and yes, click on these uh on the windows. so could zuba is activated, the liquid remains almost entirely in the gloss. is that still could still this perform even better on the us? quick simulator and probably yeah. the building on the right with the still could

still those installed on the roof is fairly damage. the, theoretically the roost of any existing structure could be retro assisted with this shock absorber system in the 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 old buildings and the stumble. that's easy. so as an earthquake happens, there's 40 percent of the buildings could be damaged. and i was wondering if

a technology likes this quotes like favorites just, you know, for a while as far as far as a re repair everything. the technology is not evasive. is it easy to be installed on an existing building? because it's composed of volume like the materials they thought modeling 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 could at least buy 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 bola, anything but us creek proof that leaves hundreds of thousands of people defenseless

against a quake. that's why he's done bullets 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 of some good cuz you're telling me there are 7000 active construction sites every month. that's unbelievable. a cost. yeah. uh the, the glass your fill. yes. as soon as a construction company is done with one site and they start on the next one, every month found there was $7000.00 construction sites in this part of the city is which then about any funds then construction is never ending. eventually they'll come here and these 3 small buildings will be corn downs and replace the big bills right to me. and the effect is it's good business for these people. but it's basically supported by the government and the community because these buildings are

not safe in an earthquake. and the new ones are supposed to be earthquake, 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 help in the event of a disaster? or do these new construction projects actually create new problems? that's what of implying the keys to look at. the law says beyond them that the construction sector has been left to the markets that namely, the economic interests of clients and customers are seeing the effect of dots play up. 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. land has been used for large construction projects. instead of being developed into parks or other outdoor areas, you can shop the ex that's calculate steps in the event given us quakes,

that would be less than one square meter of open space per residents. 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 watch and waste has help fails to arrive or arrives too late. well, no people say you went to me to us quick strikes, eastern the we meet the

residents in front of the old apartment building. that's what i know. this is all of these buildings will be demolished into 3 months because she can speak to them and because she used to live in germany and the buildings will be torn down because they don't us quick say, why didn't you happen to me? 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 actually see i'm asking is 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 to be quite comes. what will remain of my beloved 16,
