 I am so sick of this "God sent an earthquake or tornado on ##### for
####"
Tornados and powerful earthquakes have been happening for millions of
years,
long before people built their flimsy structures on the land it
happens on.
I am sickened by this tragedy, not just because it happened, but
because this
could've been *prevented*. I doubt any of those buildings were
retrofitted for earthquakes, nor was there any money or manpower
invested in doing so.

 Unfortunately, people follow the money, and often trade lives for a
few
extra $$$$ for themselves. When Turkey experienced a massive
earthquake sometime
back, a lot of people were crushed and killed in apartments which were
built using concrete that was "watered down" with sand! This was done
to
reduce costs (=more profit for the builders). Unfortunately, corner
cutting
like this is extremely common in 3rd world and developing nations.
