Earthquake Storms

2003Tv EpisodeS40 E8

Earthquakes are among the most devastating natural disasters on the planet. In the last hundred years they have claimed the lives of over one million people. Earthquakes are destructive mainly because of their unpredictable nature. It is impossible to say accurately when a quake will strike but a new theory could help save lives by preparing cities long in advance for an earthquake. The surface of the Earth is made up of large 'tectonic' plates. These plates are in slow but constant motion. When two plates push against each other friction generates a great deal of energy. For this reason earthquakes occur most frequently on tectonic fault lines, where two plates meet. However these fault lines run for thousands of kilometres; predicting exactly where a quake will occur is nearly impossible. In 1992, Dr Ross Stein was monitoring a large earthquake in a town in California called Landers. Three hours later, there was another quake 67km away at Great Bear. Stein believed that this was not simply an aftershock, instead he theorised the event at Landers had set off the earthquake at Big Bear. Stein believes that when an earthquake occurs the stress that has built up along the fault, is in part, transferred along the fault line. It is this energy transfer that causes other quakes to occur hours, days or months after the original.

50 cues

#100:00:04,000 --> 00:00:09,400
Four years ago the lives of these Turkish firefighters changed for ever
#200:00:10,800 --> 00:00:15,080
An earthquake of catastrophic size tore their city apart
#300:00:19,440 --> 00:00:26,320
Even after 72 hours of non-stop working day and night without any sleep
#400:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,680
when we found someone alive it gave us such a morale
#500:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,880
boost that we forgot everything
#600:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,040
Although thousands died
#700:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,880
many survivors owed their lives to the actions of these men and women
#800:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,120
People were helpless and as the Fire Brigade
#900:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,560
we were the only ones they could turn to
#1000:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,120
but there were times when even we felt helpless
#1100:01:00,600 --> 00:01:05,720
I remember having to hide and cry secretly many times
#1200:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,760
But now a frightening forecast suggests it is only a matter of time
#1300:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,480
before these fire-fighters are needed again
#1400:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,760
Scientists have identified a new phenomenon called an earthquake storm
#1500:01:22,960 --> 00:01:25,160
and one is blowing across Turkey
#1600:01:25,480 --> 00:01:31,560
If their forecast is correct then next in line is a city of 14 million people
#1700:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,720
On August 17th 1999
#1800:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,160
at just after three in the morning
#1900:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,400
a massive earthquake struck the Turkish city of Izmit
#2000:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,920
Thousands of people fled as their homes collapsed around them
#2100:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,960
I couldn't fully understand what was going on
#2200:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,480
I didn't realise it was an earthquake as I wasn't fully awake
#2300:02:17,840 --> 00:02:22,000
Mum was crying and she said Ömür,the house is going to collapse
#2400:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,320
and I replied don't worry Mum
#2500:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,600
just hold me tight and that was the last conversation we ever had
#2600:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,840
The earthquake claimed the lives of some 25,000 people
#2700:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,280
The destruction spread over hundreds of kilometres
#2800:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,560
and much of the area was reduced to rubble
#2900:02:44,560 --> 00:02:45,960
People were so shocked
#3000:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,760
Buildings had collapsed
#3100:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,000
Some of them survived,but some were still under the rubble
#3200:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,480
Some of them managed to get out of their home
#3300:02:54,640 --> 00:02:57,760
and they just stood there completely dumbfounded
#3400:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,360
They didn't know what to do and could not think of
#3500:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,160
ways to help the trapped victims
#3600:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,520
Everyone was in shock
#3700:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,120
For the people of Izmit the disaster was totally unexpected
#3800:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,560
but what they didn't know was that a year earlier
#3900:03:26,920 --> 00:03:30,120
the entire disaster had been forecast
#4000:03:30,680 --> 00:03:35,240
We made the calculations, we knew that Izmit was dangerous
#4100:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,520
Our work showed that this area was at risk
#4200:03:41,200 --> 00:03:46,600
an earthquake would come and that tens of thousands of people were likely to die
#4300:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,120
And yet that warning was not heeded
#4400:03:51,920 --> 00:03:56,560
Few preparations were made,few contingency plans were put into place
#4500:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,600
When the Izmit earthquake happens
#4600:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,040
there are two sorts of feelings it sort of arous
#4700:04:02,600 --> 00:04:07,360
arose in me. One was frustration
#4800:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,400
The other one was anger,anger with myself
#4900:04:12,040 --> 00:04:16,800
anger with others because sort of
#5000:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,400
we knew it was coming and yet nothing had been done
