from MSN Encarta "An earthquake measuring 6.7 on the Richter scale shook Los Angeles in January 1994. The quake caused billions of dollars in damage. Three freeway overpasses collapsed, and thousands of people were left homeless after their homes were destroyed or declared unsafe." from BBC "Life after the earthquake It has been a year since the devastating earthquake in the ancient Iranian city of Bam which left more than 26,000 dead and the city in ruins. Many survivors have expressed frustration with the slowness of reconstruction, with thousands still living in makeshift tents with little food or sanitation facilities." The Bam earthquake measured 6.6 on the Richter scale. That's the difference between the Gap and Core. In the Core, cracked houses declared unsafe and rebuilt quickly with Federal and private insurance money. In the Gap, 26,000 dead, the city leveled and its inhabitants still living in tents a year later.
