6234 deads!!! wow...

that bricks was poor in material and construction procedure. To build walls confined is required more section of columns and beams suficient reinforced, almost is required increase the conection between "the wall" and the "portic" of concrete...

Anyway, the component vertical of this earthquake signal was important, so, nothing can prevent these...

First, if you want to comment on a video, please learn spelling and grammar. Second, please stop posting garbage like this. No one really cares.

This vid shows the aftermath of an earthquake in Indonesia, not the actual earthquake: mainly one-storey heigh partially or completely collapsed brick houses. The 6234 dead were mostly killed by falling bricks and roof materials.
