О Ванкувере:Across the earthquake-affected area, questions are being asked about why the thousands of buildings that collapsed, including a large number of schools, weren't built to handle seismic tremors. In the town of Wufu, where 200 children died in a school collapse, pictures of a protest banner posted near the wreckage appeared on a Chinese-language website. "The children did not die because of a natural disaster, they died because of a dangerous building," the hand-painted banner said. Chinese officials are promising that rebuilt structures will be as quake-proof as possible.
Как вы думаете, что изменится в BC после китайского землетрясения в плане укрепления школ? Что-то подсказывает мне, что ничего не изменится.In 2005, the BC government identified more than 700 BC schools as requiring seismic upgrades. Progress, however, has been very slow and few schools have been completed. Thousands of BC students continue to spend their days in schools assessed as being at high risk of significant structural damage in the event of an earthquake.
