Big BLU crapped by Hercules. Regularity is a good feeling.

Remember that most construction in that part of the world is little more than stacked, dried-mud bricks. Much of those "bricks" are not even up to our adobe standards as they lack straw providing some resistance to crumbling. Cemented concrete blocks provide "high strength", load bearing walls in most of their "modern" developments.

Shock waves, even at only a few psi, can severly damage buildings, crushing those in hiding. Glass does not stand a chance. It is almost sad. Almost.
