Hospital Survives 9.0 Earthquake | OPB 

Many countries have them. Japan, Mexico, Chile, etc

What country /state did you experience all of those earthquakes.

Japan made the absolute best stereo receivers in the mid to late 1970's. Respect.

“Pushing 40” lol

Wow! You are a very lucky person

This is only true if you run a government like a for-profit business.

That is only if you set the worth of a human life at 0. If human life is worth anything, then it becomes a moral calculation.

@@annekekramer3835 You'd be surprised to hear the US government puts a price on the average persons head. That figure is roughly $10,000,000. 10 million measly dollars is what they think your life is worth.

@@JoshuaPlays99 can i please turn in my human rights for the 10,000,000 dollars

@@JoshuaPlays99 not surprised at all. Gavin Newsom treats his citizens like a peasants. Do what you're told, not what you see Gavin do 🤫

Similar situation is turkiye as well, the city planning is utterly bad... although many buildings are build sturdy, its not enough to widstand long or strong quakes, there is also the corruption part of the situation where it gets all messy, and government just cannot step in without being called facists or being afraid is losing support and election, its idiocracy through and through here (((

here in belgium the required gap doesnt even exist. the only earthquakes we get are very minor ones from mining operations in the north of the netherlands, a country that lies north of us

Too bad their population continues to slide into oblivion because of that intelligence. Children arent logical if you want to have a career.

Don’t praise the country, praise the person who come up with the idea.

This kind of technology exists in very many places and very many variations of it

Base Isolation was originally developed by a scientist from New Zealand in the 1970s, and has been used in a huge number of buildings around the world, including New Zealand, which is also a seismically active country. EDIT: due to some misunderstanding regarding the history of base isolation, it was a New Zealand scientist that developed the rubber/steel/lead core base isolation that is mentioned in this video. History will tell you that there have been various other styles of base isolation for thousands of years around the world.

@@Kraypus but not many places go beyond minimum requirements. Japan is always quality

US Hospitals do, nowhere in the world they charge you as much as in the US

In Europe the healthcare is "free".

That's only in America, everywhere else hospitals are completely free !!

in EU they go to the hospital very often, as they are practically free, the government pays for it.

@@belec5964 No it isn't. It's a single-payer model. We use our better understanding of market forces to have an effective single bargainer that can negotiate prices down in the interests of the healthcare consumer, instead of having a predatory insurance model that takes advantage of people in the worst moments of their lives and bankrupts them.

I was thinking the same thing throughout this clip.

It's called maintenance. The dampeners only need to last longer than the building. You could even engineer it so that you can replace the dampeners one at a time.

@@annekekramer3835 You can replace dampeners?

@@zamiyaFlow i mean if you could access them it should be possible Just get cranes or smth to hold the building in place on the side they are replacing

@@user-hv6nl3cz1z lmao I don't think they've invented a crane that can pull up a whole building

Exactly what happened in Turkiyé and Syria 7.8 magnitude 40k killed in Japan a 8.0 magnitude earthquake happened and only 3 people died.

nah bizimkler boyle seylere onem vermez

Çok pahalı bir sistem

Too late.

Bu yazdığımı googgle çeviriden çevir. Türkiye'de bir profesör bu depremin zararının 10'da 1'i ile veya 20'de 1'i ile Tüm Türkiye'yi depreme hazırlayabilirdik dedi. Şuan Türkiye deprem yüzünden 50 milyar dolardan fazla zararda. Bizim binalarımız maalesef işini bilen kişiler tarafından değil hırsız malzemeden çalan kişiler tarafından yapılıyor halk bilinçsiz ayrıca devlet denetleme yapmıyor. Evlerin yapıldığı yerler ovalar zeminler berbat. Yardımların geç ulaşması yüzündende kayıplarımız dahada arttı.

It surely is in the long run! Sadly corruption is only short term.

The cost isn't as much as it looks, but the things that make base isolation expensive are most in the engineering effort. And in the case of existing building, the retrofitting can cost a lot. But in buildings like hospitals is worth all the cost because the facility doesn't lose a second of availability. Here in Chile before the 2010 quake there was a hospital building with that system, the hospital of the Arny. And during that quake there was a surgery in progress and the doctors only noticed a small quake and a short loss of power until the generators started up. Only after the operation the doctors realised how extensive was the damage in the country.

@@EduardoEscarez wow that is just amazing. One thing that also makes me happy about this is that so many doctors and nurses in the hospitals at the time of the quake all survive. If hosptitals pancaked we would lose most of our medical personnel in one shot!

@@seankingwell3692 While here in 2010 we didn't lose medical personnel because of the quake due to the local construction codes, but still some facilities were severely damaged. Because of that, since then new hospitals are built designed to withstand a quake while still being operating during and after an event.

@@EduardoEscarez It really frustrates me to realize that we are indeed finally living in the future(conquering earthquake is not a small feat), but lead by dinosaurs who are too stubborn to let us.

The REAL cure for cancer costs nothing, is painless, and enhances life. Anyone can do it themselves. Just be willing to face what your Inner child self is unhappy about. Change that by asking your Higher Self for help. Be willing to consider ANY answer it sends...like divorce your partner, or run away, or quit... and trust that your HS will bring you something better. AND IT WILL!

Well said

dude youre so woke

@@thenman23 How is calling out corruption around building standards in Turkey "woke" ?

@@haven216 fuck turkey straight up

it's worth it though since even if the research isn't applied immediately due to politics, it'll affect future generations' safety & quality of life.

It may surprise you to learn that most of the construction that isn't direct waterfront (and much of what IS direct waterfront) will still be above that threshold. And the solution is simple: add stuff. Seattle is already 10-20 feet higher than the initial settlement.

turkey built masonry structures.

a 9 is 1000 times more energetic than a 7.

yes

Why wasn't money an issue for the engineers and their hospital in Japan?

@@joeh858 Because Japan has culturally learned through the blood of tens of thousands how devastating earthquakes can be. Everyone there (who is an adult) has felt a strong one in their life, possibly more than one. In some parts of the country, there's a good chance they know someone who's died because of one. So in Japan, they take it seriously. It's only "too expensive" when you don't realize how huge of a threat it is. And in the PNW, they do not have this cultural knowledge of what a REAL earthquake will do. The Native Americans in the region had this knowledge. We ignored it and killed them. So instead, "We want to spend less and make more profit" wins out, instead of people rightfully being piss terrified of dying in a collapsing building. This is true at every level of government and every level of society in the PNW. Yes, modern earthquake codes are the law there. It's not taken seriously, and things like seismic hazard consultations are non-binding. Developers who want to build something are required to consult with a geologist who specializes in earthquake in tsunami hazards. So they go into the meeting room, lay out their plans, the geologist says "This is stupid and will get people killed." And the contractor packs up his things and leaves, saying, "Okay, now we've consulted." This is going to get a lot of people killed.

Cash is provided by the people through taxes, retard. Its the government responsibility to provide mandates so that the provided cash can be used for the mandate. Even if there isnt a cash, thats how r&d works, do you think advancement in science and technology happens on its own whenever an einstein equivalent borns? No, its made by continuous "waste of money" to improve cost efficiency and functional efficacy. "You cant make an omelette without breaking some eggs".

Well, maybe they could use google?

I think that's the translator's real accent.

I am Turkish and we are exhausted. There are hundreds of thousands of dead, I wish Turkey had such systems.

@@adembasri9704 They have but poorer cities and corruption has made it very hard for people to install it, even though it says by law that you need earthquake proof buildings.

WHICH COMPANY?

@Fatih Topkapı There is no god. Religions are a lie.

​​@Fatih Topkapı man religion was needed in the past so people will have something in common to follow and not kill each other, nowadays in modern world its just stopping progress and modernisation in some form in some coutries due to so much people in them still thinks that there is something above us and reject modern stuff 💀
