Deadly Disasters: Earthquakes

Deadly Disasters Floods:    • Raging Waters: The Devastating Power ...  

Deadly, highly destructive and impossible to predict the Earthquake is perhaps one of Mother Nature's most terrifying forces.

In 2011 the earthquake that struck New Zealand’s South Island became the nation’s fifthdeadliest disaster. Thousands were forced to leave their homes and neighbourhoods were turned into ghost towns.

Halfway around the world, in Italy, a country precariously perched on the border between the Eurasian and African Plates, we recall the events of the shocking 2009 L’Aquila earthquake. It reduced a beautiful 13th century city to rubble, killed more than 300 people, and its thousands of aftershocks frayed public and political nerves.

Going even further back in history, we look at the 1994 earthquake that rocked Los Angeles in the early hours of the morning. Killing 57, injuring thousands more and destroying 112,000 structures, it was little consolation that had the quake hit on a workday the death toll would have been much higher.

They flatten entire cities, create mass homelessness, and take thousands of lives. Earthquakes are truly deadly disasters.
