Earthquakes don’t kill people, buildings kill people.
Well, back in Alaska, the ground opened up and swollowed up stuff.
(from memory) A car. Maybe it just arrived home with occupants in it and then it closed back up.
That was not a building.
OK Alaska was a 9.2.
The aftermath of the earthquake will kill people. Lack of water, supplies, food, outbreaks of disease, mobs of looting, etc.
