Two hotel buildings in Hailuogou, the epicenter of the earthquake, collapsed! Have you ever seen such a violent earthquake?

After the earthquake in Luding County, Sichuan on September 5, the damage to the Hailuogou Scenic Area was still very serious. It is said that a hotel in the Hailuogou Scenic Area collapsed directly. It can be seen from the photos exposed at the scene Arrived, the hotel was completely damaged due to the earthquake. Because the hotel was at the epicenter of the earthquake, the earthquake was very strong. It collapsed directly from the second floor, and then the entire building began to tilt. It must be said that the power of this earthquake should not be underestimated.

According to the hotel owner, the collapsed hotels were all made of wooden materials, and almost the entire building collapsed after the earthquake. As a result, many people suffered casualties and were trapped. Currently, the hotel owners and staff, as well as rescuers, are actively rescuing the trapped people. Hailuogou Scenic Area is located in Moxi Town. At the time of the incident, the signal had been interrupted and contact with the outside world was basically cut off. It is estimated that there are at least 200 people trapped in the scenic spot, and the rescue team is rescuing the affected people after arriving.

The earthquake that occurred in Luding, Sichuan, even caused the hotel building to collapse. The editor myself has never seen such a severe earthquake. However, some people believe that the collapse of the hotel building in Hailuogou Scenic Area is mainly due to material problems. It stands to reason that if it is a traditional wooden structure house, it will be more earthquake-resistant and stronger than a brick house. However, because most of the people who build houses are nail carpenters, houses made of wooden materials are so weak.

In addition to the problems with the houses, the most important thing is the power of the earthquake. It is said that the earthquake that occurred this time was a magnitude 6.8 earthquake. Many buildings and houses were damaged to a certain extent. Therefore, in Under such circumstances, it is understandable that the hotel building collapses. When encountering an earthquake, remember not to panic or blindly run outdoors to avoid being injured by falling objects. You should take shelter under something sturdy and sturdy, and protect your head with a pillow or backpack.
