Above the Nepal earthquake captured as it happened. It is all the more poignant when you see how every day normal life was happening only to be snatched away in an instant..
The BBC reported on a previous time when the same fault ruptured –
Saturday’s magnitude-7.8 earthquake struck to the north-west of Kathmandu
The last time the fault ruptured at this location was in back in 1344
It was preceded in 1255 by a big event to the east of Kathmandu
The last rupture there was in 1934, hinting strain might accumulate westward
2015’s quake follows the pattern with a gap between events of 80 years or so
When Bollinger and his colleagues saw this historic pattern of events, they became greatly concerned.
“We could see that both Kathmandu and Pokhara would now be particularly exposed to earthquakes rupturing the main fault, where it likely last did in 1344…
