Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 48, No. 1, pg. 10:
Some 230,000 people were killed in the Jan. 12, 2010, earthquake that struck Haiti (left). More than 240,000 died in a 1976 earthquake in Tangshan, China, (right) which inspired Jian Lin (below) to study earthquakes. Both cases demonstrated that poorly constructed buildings are the primary cause of deaths in earthquakes.
