“哪里有地震,哪里就惊恐”1980年10月10日,在阿尔及利亚的阿斯南,地震造成5000余人的死亡和将近80%住所的破坏;一个月之后,一个类似的灾难降临意大利南部。分析世界上的地震历史,不难发现它们的共同点:一是人类至今尚难预测地震。虽然现代地震学的进步和测量、监察站的增多,但正确的地震预报是极其偶然的;而造成人的伤亡和物质财富损失的原因,是这些被摧毁的建筑的耐震性极小或等于零的缘故。其二,是人类记忆的“健忘症”:一个城市被地震摧毁之后,公众的激动一旦过去,灾难的记忆很容易忘却。如阿尔及利亚的阿斯南即是一例,它在954年就曾经遭受过一次毁灭性的地震。另如摩洛哥的塔加弟尔,在150年前
“Where there was an earthquake, it was terrified.” On October 10, 1980, in Asnán, Algeria, the earthquake caused the death of more than 5,000 people and the destruction of nearly 80% of the dwelling; a month later, a similar disaster struck southern Italy. Analysing the history of earthquakes in the world, it is not difficult to find their common ground: First, it is still difficult for humans to predict earthquakes. Although the progress of modern seismology and the increase of surveying and monitoring stations, the correct earthquake prediction is extremely accidental. The cause of human casualties and material wealth loss is that the destroyed buildings have little or no shock resistance. reason. Second, it is the “amnesia” of human memory: After a city is destroyed by an earthquake, once the public’s excitement passes, the memory of the disaster is easily forgotten. One example is Asnán of Algeria, which suffered a devastating earthquake in 954. Another example is Targadir in Morocco, 150 years ago
