Jump to the 13:00 mark.  
Most of us have watched the hideous video of multi-story buildings collapsing onto families in Turkyei in its cities; the above segment examines what happened to a flat olive tree grove.  It was split in half, with a gorge now three football fields wide and deep enough in spots to hold a 13-story building.  Split thru solid rock.  Damn.  Tectonic force is nothing to sneeze at.  
 
I also wanted to add that many contractors/engineers have been arrested there for skimping on the safety/rules/best principles, in order to save money.  We currently are seeing repubs in this country touting their "reductions in regulations, defunding safety orgs/regulatory commissions, as helping small businesses!"  We can expect the same results.
 
Exhibit A:  the rail lines in Palestine, OH.
Exhibit B:  the frequent "near misses" at our nation's airports, especially lately.
Exhibit C:  Flint, Michigan.
Exhibit D :  The winter power grid in Texas.
 
To be continued.

    ^^^ My apologies at not even being able to post a **** link.  Clicking on the above loads something into my "Downloads" folder and then opens Apple Music.  WTFF.
