How many decibles do you reckon an atomic bomb explosion is?

There is never as much damage in a place like California for several reasons: a. California is known to be very seismically active. Meaning, they have lots of earthquakes and we have know this for a very long time.

Haiti has not had an earthquake in over 200 years despite the fact that it is situated near a fault line. B. California is a fairly wealthy state in a wealthy nation.

Haiti is the poorest nation in the western hemisphere and one of the poorest in the entire world. C. California and the United States have highly organized, regulated and stable governments.

Haiti has a history of being a poor colony and then multiple coups and political upheavals. D. You put these facts together.

California knows earthquakes are fairly common and imminent so they have enacted strict building codes and regulations so that the buildings are designed to withstand the activity. They also have the money to retrofit old buildings to protect them and minimize injuries. Californians know the idea that the will probably see an earthquake is accepted and hence they have emergency plans in place.

Haiti had none of this. The buildings were old, those that were new were built cheaply and were not designed to stand up to the force. The government had no contingency plans or emergency plans.

Have you thought of having what little brain you have, closely examined, or maybe you could thing it through for yourself. Please explain the aftershocks, also in that area, with an earthquake that big, of course you would have a "sunami" (water moves away from land, and then surges in toward land) This was a very small sunami Thank goodness. Crawl back under your blanket and quit trying to start rumors.

There are enough jackasses in the world.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
