As the world continues to reel from the devastating earthquakes that killed tens of thousands in Turkey and Syria, a renowned seismologist is warning that the same destruction could happen in California.
According to Jones, only 1% of the buildings in Los Angeles would collapse following a tremblor similar to what struck southern Turkey and northern Syria — but far more would be rendered uninhabitable.
In part, Jones blames the potential loss of over 50% of the buildings in all of Los Angeles on the state's current building code which, in her opinion, was intended solely to keep a building from killing someone while enabling construction costs to stay as low as possible.Emrah Gurel/AP
