Buildings will fall. We will discover the nonexistence of rebar. Contractors paying off inspectors.

Ok, THAT one cracked me up.

And yeah, you are probably right.

Mexico City was hit by a big quake not that long ago. I think that one took down the most poorly constructed structures.

In a city of what 25+ million people, it has been surprising to me in the past how low the death rates were to direct hits to Mexico city.

Your thought there would seem to be a reasoned one, but the 1985 7.1 quake only resulted in 5,000 lives.

It wouldn’t have shocked me to see them in the 10s of thousands.
