Why was the 6.8 Morocco quake deadly? - 3D SIMULATION
227The magnitude 6.8 earthquake that struck Morocco
on September 8th is the largest to hit this area
in more than 100 years.
Old brick buildings can't survive
strong ground shaking that is larger than
about VI-VII on the Mercalli intensity scale. That would be the equivalent of
a maximum ground acceleration between
0.1 and 0.35 G... ...more than what you would feel in
a moving bus that keeps
accelerating and stopping
3 times each second!

I hope these simulations will bring more earthquake awareness around the world and educate the general public about potential earthquake related hazards. I do also hope that my videos will inspire a younger generation of architects, engineers and scientists.
