Skopje earthquake 1963

26.07.2009
Thousands of people were feared dead after a massive earthquake rocked the Macedonian capital Skopje of the then Socialist Republic of Macedonia.

The first quake occurred in Skopje (with a population of 200,000 people to that time) at about 5:00 pm and lasted for 20 seconds.
Tremors from the earthquake were felt some 90 miles along the Vardar valley.

More than 100,000 people were made homeless immediately as three-quarters of the city's buildings were damaged or destroyed.

Gledajte ja samo mladinata kako reagira. Momcinjata se samoorganiziraat i vadat preziveani a devojkite prevrzuvaat i pomagaat. Deneska mladinava ako mozat uste ke te butnat da se utepas ili ke gi mrzi da pomognat. Toj duh na nasite tatkovci treba da go vratime pod hitno.

I drove through Skopje in 1966. It was still flattened, and we heard many people were left under the rubble, and the bulldozers flattened it. There was a horrible atmosphere.
