(154,021 posts)They are checking the metro in one section, since they have fissures
They have fissures in about fifty buildings, and they will check them within hours.
Telephone service is saturated (and not accessible to foreign calls)
They have some walls that collapsed
Some buildings are actually leaning. 37 with fissures, 6 with damage low.
Now think of this, 37 out of hundreds of thousands.
One of the buildings. The high court, they lost the stairs.
The traffic lights, they have problems with the distribution of light, in six delegations, but they are already doing repairs. They lost lines and two main transformers.
They expect to reestablished lights to most of the city in three hours tos and no human losses.
City engineers are prioritizing hospitals and schools. The hospital system is working but will be looking at some damage to check for structural damage.
Guess what they are using? Tat useless twitter.
I am sure some in our press are not happy. This was a quake, 1985 was a tragedy.
