Explainer: Why was the Turkey-Syria earthquake so bad?

The magnitude 7.8 earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria on Monday is likely to be one of the deadliest this decade, seismologists said, with a more than 100 km (62 miles) rupture between the Anatolian and Arabian plates.

Pretty crazy scenes coming out of Turkey. I wonder how the CA buildings would hold up to one that strong. Many in Turkey just collapsed entirely.

They don’t use rebar to reinforce their concrete.

CA buildings would do much better.

The big one is supposed to be like 1906 isn't it? Which was a little stronger than this one I think.

I bet they'll use Rebar now. Sheesh.

Truly. I can't imagine how I'd feel if my wife and children were caught up in something like that.

WUT? I thought every state and country knew better than this. Give it a day or two, this will be Trump's fault too.

There are some videos showing the shaking inside some buildings that didn't collapse and it was pretty crazy. I was at Ft Sill when a real minor one hit and that was enough to spook me. I think it only measured a 3 something. Hard to imagine one this strong.
