Re: Seismic Risk Management in Bucharest (none / 1)

If I read my Google translate right, the article you link mentions Gandul's likely source: a report that says that 450,000 people are endangered, by living in pre-1977 buildings; but that report estimated the number of actual dead at 'only' 6,500.

Re: Seismic Risk Management in Bucharest (4.00 / 2)

Yeah, you're right. 450.000 would be sleeping in endangered buildings. The Gandul kills them all. The INCERC experts estimates how many are killed... God knows how. I won't be able to find that report on the web, INCERC is a low digitalised institute, let's say. However, I do know people working there, so if I get the chance I'll ask them about this...
