What satellite images reveal about Myanmar's quake [video]

I did a calculation of the energy released. Roughly 105GT of TNT, to move ~360km of land roughly 6 meters.<p>Had that been a fee kilometers closer to the surface, there would not have been much left of the area. That was roughly 200 Tsar Bombas.

The images reveal strong violations of building codes, and not any energy released.<p>The first collapsed 12 story building looks like one of the new Turkish housing projects collapsed with all nearby buildings keep standing upright.<p>Similar the fires in the poor neighborhood.<p>Similar the roof of the university building, with all other roofs of the same size intact.<p>Corruption, as in Turkey.
