Recently we attended another terrible episode of natural disasters. This time, Italy was shaken again by an earthquake, when still latent sequelae and the memory of the previous one that devastated the city of L'Aquila in 2009, leaving almost 300 deaths and 400 wounded in Amatrice, as well as a lot of material and emotional damage.
The truth is that tremors, that not earthquakes - these are called so until Quake exceeds 6 degrees on the Richter - scale, they tend to occur most often, up to 500,000 a year. By luck, the great majority not usually notice them.
We are currently witnessing a multitude of technological and scientific advances, but as far as the prediction of earthquakes is concerned, nothing at all. NASA has technology able to predict where an earthquake could occur, but is incapable of knowing when.
Thus, an earthquake could catch us when we least expect. To the protagonists of the video that are punto of see, for example, les caught within a pool. The images were taken during the earthquake, 7.8 magnitude on the Richter scale, which took place in Nepal in April 2015.
Such was the strength of the earthquake, which the pool was transformed into the envy of all the attractions of any water park.
