Sorry to hear about the earthquake in SoCal. I have to admit, with the news saying the next "big quake" is close at hand, it's nice to be far away.
But if you look at the construction of buildings in Bangalore, it's not hard to see why the death toll in countries like this is so high during a natural disaster. The effort seems to be on completing the construction project, very little is put into longevity or maintenance. There are decrepit buildings all over the city because, I'm guessing, you just tear it down and build another one when it is no longer habitable.
