After shocks: 10 must-read pieces on the Nepal earthquake
1. The last big earthquake in Kathmandu, in 1934, "transported the whole city southward by 10 feet", killing more than 10,000. And that released less energy than this one.
2."The bloodied face of a child made me numb. I turned back to look at the mountains far away. And then, there was another upheaval, of nearly equal intensity. In the distant mountains, I could see landslides." Ujjwal Prasai has an eyewitness account.
3. Before and after pictures of Nepal's landmarks, reduced to rubble by the quake.
4. Nepal hasn't had it easy, writes Prashant Jha in the Hindustan Times. "In the last 20 years, Nepal has seen a devastating civil war, the massacre of its entire royal family, a change in government every year on an average, popular protests and constant instability. Sometimes a tragedy can be an opportunity."
5. And this isn't even the "big one" they keep warning us about. "I would say this would not have released even four or five per cent of the energy that is estimated to be stored there."
6. The quake triggered avalanches on Mount Everest, leaving it looking like a war zone.
7. If you want to help, PRI finds you seven vetted charities that are doing relief work following the earthquake. Google has a person finder, in case you have or know someone who is missing. There are also a lot of helplines.
8. Almost exactly two years ago, on 26 April, 2013, Nepal officials sat down to imagine the nightmare scenario of a major earthquake. Then they had imagined a 6.9 magnitude quake – and put forward a final death toll of more than 200,000. "In terms of per capita casualty risk, the valley – as the area is known locally – is the most dangerous place in the world."
9. "Even though I did find a stray dog come alive out of rubble after a week. It ran for a few yards, collapsed and died." Sushant Singh, who was in the Army when it had to rescue people in Gujarat in 2001, writes about the extent of the damage.
10. The rescue operation began with neighbours at homes across Nepal, and has now extended to international neighbours with India, Pakistan and others contributing to the massive relief efforts.
