It is true that buildings built before 1999 are less resistant to earthquakes, but I have seen in many news reports that some of the buildings built only last year have collapsed. The only innocent people here are the people who live in that house. Somebody is showing you documents that this house is made of the highest quality materials and these are approved by the authorities. In that case, those houses should not be demolished. At least the columns should have survived. Therefore, in this earthquake, the contractor who built that building, the authorities who approved those documents and everyone who did not supervise them are guilty. Earthquake does not kill people, it is the building that kills people.
That is sad , that means a lot of people died because of greed , hope they will bring those people to justice somehow .
I hope so. One of the ministers said that these people will be brought to justice. I hope so.
