You are a shallow man, Ted. Use your brains: why do you believe very old buildings in earth quake areas like Mexico City and Italian places still stand there after 400 years or more? Because they were built well and because with time as per your Darwin hero - they survived as the fittest!

'Old' buildings collapsing in Italy have been 'restored' using much later construction 'techniques'. The very new commercial structures in l'Aquila collapse due to corruptive and sneaky ways of circumventing the rulse now in power in all of Italy with regard to how anti earthquake rules must be applied to.

A private like me has to pay the full cost of those added measurements. My newly rebuilt stone casa includes a whole cage of anti earth quake steel webs as per the law. The building may crack but nothing would fall down.
