Dr. Lucy Jones, says...
***
According to Jones, only 1% of the buildings in
Los Angeles would collapse following a tremblor
similar to what struck southern Turkey and
northern Syria — but far more would be rendered
uninhabitable.
"In addition to the 1% collapsed, there would be
another 10% that will be so badly damaged they
would have to be torn down and another 40%
damaged enough that we won't be able to use them
after the earthquake," she said.
In part, Jones blames the potential loss of over
50% of the buildings in all of Los Angeles on
the state's current building code which, in her
opinion, was intended solely to keep a building
from killing someone while enabling construction
costs to stay as low as possible.
