Sichuan's Devastating 2008 Earthquake | China Quake | Earth Stories 

I'm thinking engineers all over the world should finish their studies in Japan. They didn't really lose buildings during the 2011 earthquake. Most if their damage was due to the tsunami.

Plate nhe kehete alag ha kuch

And yet a 6.6 hit the same region only yesterday and it toppled like a house of cards to include landslides. It's a humungous region that is reeling in structural failure still so take this documentary with a grain of salt. The death toll os yet to be calculated however, many are homeless again.

Jangan suka berteori,,,jika ALLAH SWT MURKA,.semua kekuatan teori dan kecanggihan tidak ada guna nya dan tidak berlaku di hadapan ALLAH SWT 🤲🙏🇮🇩

I have a prediction. If you live where there's ever been an earthquake before, expect another one some time in the future and prepare accordingly. If you don't live where there's been an earthquake before, still make your buildings strong enough to withstand one because other things can also shake the ground too and the wind also applies lateral forces to buildings. The savings in money to construct something isn't worth the risk of it collapsing. Look at what happened to the Champlain Towers South.

So sad! I don't remember hearing much about this when it happened in 2008.

I survived that terrible disaster albeit injured.

Unfortunately Tofu Dreg construction is the norm in China. Between CC P incompetence and lack of concern, bribery of local government officials by contractors, it is a crap shoot as far as quality goes. Three Gorges Dam next on the list?

As a Sichuan person, this Wenchuan earthquake will always be remembered by us, and every time I see it, Iwill cry...

The government is responsible for allowing weak buildings built with little or no resistance to seismic shaking. The sound building codes must be enacted and enforced for design and construction. In the Western countries and Japan where similar magnitudes of earthquakes occur, it's impossible to have this kind of losses in human lives and property damages because the structures are designed and constructed to seismic code requirements.

Im here cause of an anime called Link Click. There was an episode on this.

"Tofu Dreg Construction" 🇿🇦

😩" JUST AWFUL!.... So many visible ' red flag ' issues (Ex: Poor Construction, Mountainside Proximity, Overcrowded Population Density, Etc.) preceded this horrific natural disaster. "

This planet changes all the time it does not care if humans are on it or not.

SEMUA yg ada di langgit dan yg ada di BUMI,hanya milik Allah SWT 🤲. Akan kembali kpda Allah SWT 🤲🙏🇮🇩🌹

Remonds me of Pakistan earthquake 2005 very deadly

Не желай ближнему зла,,,,,,, что желаешь другим , то и получаешь сам. Закон равновесия......

Literally Turkey at this moment . Their buildings are horrible

Remember be careful with anything electric as they could be harmful and or lethal to you and or other people and or start a fire along with causing other things. Remember be careful and stay safe.

Alguém tá provocando estes terremotos e explodindo os vulcaos acordando os e destruindo vidas inocentes sendo esmagadas gueimadas afogadas ninguém é eterno a qui más cada vida tem seu tempo só Deus sabe pois foi ele que nos consedeu o fôlego de vida 😢😮

Bricks are just not durable building materials in earthquake prone areas. Same thing happened in Afghanistan earthquake. So many houses and buildings collapsed and mostly were built with bricks. 😔 Japan should share to the world how they make their buildings earthquake-proofed then make it a world standard for building codes in earthquake prone areas/countries.

También deberían de hablar sobre las estructuras de las escuelas, las cuales no fueron construidas como debe de ser, murieron varios niños. El gobierno Chino hizo callar a los padres.

Buildings and structures in Japan have to be able to withstand earthquakes without collapsing or experiencing structural failures. In areas known to be susceptible to earthquakes, certain building materials should not be used, for example, bricks or blocks, as these will crumble and collapse during an earthquake, as seen in countless news clips of earthquakes.

This documentary was probably a few months or a year after the earthquake.

Gee my heart just breaks for China

This is a terrible incident. there is no quake proof housing.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركة

Is this what happens building materials contain lead? Thank you China

7: 17 se 7:27 ke bich jo aaya earth ka vahi mera proof lekin mera rotation ka tha

Mene dimag lagaya or hard bnaya tabhi hua kyuki earth ko rotation karna hi ha

Eu sinto muito.

The damage will be worse in the future. With all the corruption in the building industry. So sad.

Poor province of a country who's building quality is notoriously low? This will be worse for the next one tragically...

As we know Also what we saw video to this day about how Chinese people renovate their old house to the modern one the brittle brick wall for most all brick house of Chinese people

자연파괴와 환경을지키지못하면 온지구가 쓰레기와 지진의해서 인간간소멸이시작된다 경제보다 자연을지키고 환경을 보호해야합니다 전세계적으로 자연 앞에서 인간은 한없이 나약해진다 ,

Dis nas esqrituras quê Deus quebra trancas de bronze e arrebenta portas de aço tudo é Deus ele fãs e desfas da e tira temos quê orar e pedir perdão aus nossos pecados e adorar somente Deus 🙏 se não vão sofrer às coisas quê só ele faz acontecer orriveis Deus não gosta de barreiras a sistao o filme a infância dê Jesus ele encina tudo a respeito das esqrituras VCS não fassao mal a ninguém quê terão o troco

Unfortunately sacred torch from Greece didn't protect China .

I remember I was in China at this time I was only 2 years old and news pop up about the earthquake striking

Então guanta enresponsabilidade guantas vidas morrendo desse jeito muita dor tem que pedir a proteção de Deus o qriador de todas S coisas 😮

Budowali szybko i byle jak zapłacili za to. Kiedyś oglądałem jak i wielkiej korupcji teraz są potęgą gospodarczą. Nie krytykuje ich każda przyczyną ma swój skutek

...stay away from LAC...Reloaded...???...soon... be positive

I have noticed there are very few trees .Wonder if that was always the case. Great doco

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea !" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"

0:47 great title for a movie😊

lot of c...i am sorry for loss

Woman engineer: "It is not the earthquake that kills people, it is the building collapsing"... Me: What cause the building to collapse? The Earthquake!!

help me to do complete my holy mission will be easier to try to solve the problem​by human, because everything that happen to us all the wholeworld​, it happen in the insinde world​first, and then will come out to the outside world. so, if we are the whole​world​ need to cut down the serious problem to become to be the easier problem, then please hurry up to help me to do complete my holy​mission​ right now.

How can we make existing load bearing brick buildings quake proof?

Why haven't they been cleaning up there?

Teared up and 10:07! What a good human! He is a hero. Surprised he did not get into trouble with the CC P for making them look bad by allowing poor construction techniques.

Bamboo should be used more often in construction.

Matthew 24:6-8 [6]And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. [7]For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. [8]All these are the beginning of sorrows. End time biblical prophecy coming to pass before our very eyes. Has there always been earthquakes, absolutely, but not in the severity as there has been in the past twenty years. Funny you hear that the earth has gone crazy and it has and it's been end time biblical prophecy coming to pass
