As cities grow and technology evolves, the increasing level of complexity enhances vulnerability to earthquakes.

Bull puckey.

Poor countries and their crappy buildings are far more vulnerable.

Admittedly it's difficult visually to tell the difference between Haiti pre and post earthquake, but the people are just as dead.

Maybe BBC HQ needs a 7.6 temblor.

A “megaquake” would do much more damage in $$$ than in a less developed country. That’s how these folks measure it unless they directly make reference to carnage.
