Often human negligence kills when a natural disaster strikes

Dear reader,

we can't prevent nor predict earthquakes which can have devastating effect on buildings and infrastructure built by humans, but at least we can reduce the risk of losing human lives by e.g. improving the quality of such structures. This blog entry will collect positive and negative examples from around the globe of how construction influenced the number of causalities during such an event.
