The problem is the way they construct their buildings in these third world countries. I can drive down to Mexico and see the same crap. I saw the same stuff in Iraq and Saudi Arabia. They build from brick or block with no rebar. When a quake hits the stuff crumbles and falls down. A modern city like Los Angeles would fair much better IMO.
