    no idea why some take issue with your statement…the 9th paragraph of the article:

    “The problem is that where destructive earthquakes are rare, buildings are simply not constructed robustly enough to cope with strong ground shaking, so many collapse, resulting in high casualties,” said Bill McGuire, professor emeritus of geophysical and climate hazards at University College London. “I would expect the final death toll to climb into the thousands once more is known. As with any big quake, aftershocks are likely, which will lead to further casualties and hinder search and rescue.”

    emphasis mine

      I’m confused… who is taking issue? The only reply I see to the comment is yours and it has 6 upvotes and 0 downvotes. Are certain replies blocked by my instance maybe?

            Im on sync, it doesnt show the downvote count on comments. However theres a percentage for upvotes to downvotes for actual posts. Its not the same but its whatever. I just wish there was a sort by controversial lol
