Summary: In the twentieth century, earthquakes changed the lives of over one million victims forever - by smothering, suffocating, mutilating, burning or traumatizing them. The material waste that is caused by these earthquakes is considerable. These catastrophes seem to occur randomly. Should we simply see them as fatalities? By understanding the phenomena, can we possibly reduce their impact?
