Hi sir bong, thanks for sharing this. When we say "waiting for the big one" is not necessarily the big one. I believe the big one will happen when Jesus return and plenty will survive and it's the end of all. We might say 9 in scale is the big one but not with God? God who is still in control over all nature will not destroy the earth not until the alloted time because the world is reserved for fire (including earthquake)in the coming Judgement day. The fact that God wants us to be ready for the coming of His Son for redemption and not to expect the real "big one" and/or the coming of the Anti-Christ. God wants us to come to Him through Jesus by repenting and turning away from sin. The point is....no....the FACT is that the big one is imminent, no one is safe, no one knows when, REPENT.  God bless sir bong |

Phenomenon base on chinese astrology...
The two chinese leader Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao were born in 1942, the year of the horse. 2008 is year of the rat, Within the animal astrology the horse clashes with the rat, causing a turbulent year. which means they will face major obstacles in health, job and studies.

Phenomenon base on Numbers,
No. 8 seems to be bringing bad luck for the PRC in 2008.
The February snow storm struck on Jan. 25: 1+2+5=8
The snow storm on Feb. 6: 2+6=8.
The Tibet unrest on March 14: 3+1+4=8
The Sichuan earthquake on May 12: 5+1+2=8
The day the earthquake struck marked 88 days to go before the Olympics opening on August 8.
The quake also struck at the time of 2:28 according to China's State Seismological Bureau.
The Communist party leaders Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao were born in 1942 year of the horse. For that particular cycle, the year date began on February 15: 2+1+5=8
The year of the rat ends on January 25 in 2009 using the Chinese calendar: 1+2+5=8.
Whenever two rings in the Olympic emblem symbol is linked together, it forms an 8. There are 7 total iterations formed by the emblem. However, when "2008" is printed above or below the emblem, the number "8" in "2008" makes up the 8th iteration.

Phenomenon base on Cutural Analysis. There is five character of Fuwa Olympic Mascot which the design is chosen by kid's vote. Jingjing, "the panda" inhabitat in Sichuan Province . has been linked to the Sichuan earthquake. Huanhuan, "character with flame-red hair" has been linked to the many protests along the Summer Olympics torch relay. Yingying, "a tibetan antelope" has been linked to the 2008 Tibetan unrest. Nini, "a kite" has been linked to the "kite city" of Weifang, in Shandong, where the T195 train accident took place. Beibei, a Chinese sturgeon is the only fuwa remaining not associated with any disaster so far. what's next then  who knows.... |

Learn from the pro to survive the Earthquake...
**************************************************
My name is Doug Copp. I am the Rescue Chief and Disaster Manager of the American Rescue Team International (ARTI), the world's most experienced rescue team. The information in this article will save lives in an earthquake.
I have crawled inside 875 collapsed buildings, worked with rescue teams from 60 countries, founded rescue teams in several countries, and I am a member of many rescue teams from many countries. I was the United Nations expert in Disaster Mitigation (UNX051 -UNIENET) for two years. I have worked at every major disaster in the world since 1985, except for simultaneous disasters.
In 1996 we made a film which proved my survival methodology to be correct. The Turkish Federal Government, City of Istanbul, University of Istanbul, Case Productions and ARTI cooperated to film this practical, scientific test.
We collapsed a school and a home with 20 mannequins inside. Ten mannequins did "duck and cover," and ten mannequins I used in my "triangle of life" survival method.
After the simulated earthquake collapse we crawled through the rubble and entered the building to film and document the results.
The film, in which I practiced my survival techniques under directly observable, scientific conditions, relevant to building collapse, showed there would have been zero percent survival for those doing duck and cover. There would likely have been 100 % survivability for people using my method of the "triangle of life." This film has been seen by millions of viewers on television in Turkey and the rest of Europe, and it was seen in the USA, Canada and Latin America on the TV program Real TV.
The first building I ever crawled inside of was a school in Mexico City during the 1985 earthquake. Every child was under their desk. Every child was crushed to the thickness of their bones. They could have survived by lying down next to their desks in the aisles. It was obscene, unnecessary and I wondered why the children were not in the aisles. I didn't at the time know that the children were told to hide under something.
Simply stated, when buildings collapse, the weight of the ceilings falling upon the objects or furniture inside crushes these objects, leaving a space or void next to them. This space is what I call the "triangle of life". The larger the object, the stronger, the less it will compact. The less the object compacts, the larger the void, the greater the probability that the person who is using this void for safety will not be injured.
The next time you watch collapsed buildings, on television, count the "triangles" you see formed. They are everywhere. It is the most common shape, you will see, in a collapsed building. They are everywhere. I trained the Fire Department of Trujillo (population 750,000) in how to survive, take care of their families, and to rescue others in earthquakes.
The chief of rescue in the Trujillo Fire Department is a professor at Trujillo University. He accompanied me everywhere. He gave personal testimony: "My name is Roberto Rosales. I am Chief of Rescue in Trujillo. When I was 11 years old, I was trapped inside of a collapsed building. My entrapment occurred during the earthquake of 1972 that killed 70,000 people. I survived in the "triangle of life" that existed next to my brother's motorcycle. My friends who got under the bed and under desks were crushed to death [he gives more details, names, addresses etc.]...I am the living example of the "triangle of life". My dead friends are the example of "duck and cover".
Tips from Doug Copp:
1) Everyone who simply "ducks and covers" WHEN BUILDINGS COLLAPSE is crushed to death -- Every time, without exception. People who get under objects, like desks or cars, are always crush.
2) Cats, dogs and babies all naturally often curl up in the fetal position. You should too in an earthquake. It is a natural safety/survival instinct. You can survive in a smaller void. Get next to an object, next to a sofa, next to a large bulky object that will compress slightly but leave a void next to it.
3) 3) Wooden buildings are the safest type of construction to be in during an earthquake. The reason is simple: the wood is flexible and moves with the force of the earthquake. If the wooden building does collapse, large survival voids are created. Also, the wooden building has less concentrated, crushing weight. Brick buildings will break into individual bricks. Bricks will cause many injuries but less squashed bodies than concrete slabs.
4) If you are in bed during the night and an earthquake occurs, simply roll off the bed. A safe void will exist around the bed.
5) If an earthquake happens while you are watching television and you cannot easily escape by getting out the door or window, then lie down and curl up in the fetal position next to a sofa, or large chair.
6) Everybody who gets under a doorway when buildings collapse is killed. How? If you stand under a doorway and the door jam falls forward or backward you will be crushed by the ceiling above. If the door jam falls sideways you will be cut in half by the doorway. In either case, you will be killed!
7) Never go to the stairs. The stairs have a different "moment of frequency" (they swing separately from the main part of the building). The stairs and remainder of the building continuously bump into each other until structural failure of the stairs takes place. The people who get on stairs before they fail are chopped up by the stair treads - horribly mutilated. Even if the building doesn't collapse, stay away from the stairs. The stairs are a likely part of the building to be damaged. Even if the stairs are not collapsed by the earthquake, they may collapse later when overloaded by fleeing people. They should always be checked for safety, even when the rest of the building is not damaged.
8) Get Near the Outer Walls Of Buildings Or Outside Of Them If Possible. It is much better to be near the outside of the building rather than the interior. The farther inside you are from the outside perimeter of the building the greater the probability that your escape route will be blocked.
9) People inside of their vehicles are crushed when the road above falls in an earthquake and crushes their vehicles; which is exactly what happened with the slabs between the decks of the Nimitz Freeway. The victims of the San Francisco earthquake all stayed inside of their vehicles. They were all killed. They could have easily survived by getting out and sitting or lying next to their vehicles, says the author. Everyone killed would have survived if they had been able to get out of their cars and sit or lie next to them. All the crushed cars had voids 3 feet high next to them, except for the cars that had columns fall directly across them.
10) I discovered, while crawling inside of collapsed newspaper offices and other offices with a lot of paper, that paper does not compact. Large voids are found surrounding stacks of paper.

Hopefully big one will not come, but who knows?
We know that there is active Marikina fault. We just don't know when will strike... and based on USGS, Philippines have some faults capable of >7 magnitude quake...
Just be prepared, know how to survive, when it comes, God have mercy on us....

in the spirit of fairness lets have a link also to american rescue team international www.amerrescue.org/btw, during that earthquake i was attending my review in CPAR at the 5th floor of a building just across UST...merienda time yata yon coz i can recall bottles of softdrink rolling back and forth on the floor...a female co-reviewee was screaming at the top her voice "in the name of Jesus!!, in the name of Jesus!!" with conviction and power. |

The earthquake epicenter is located at 13.4 north latitude and 145.3 east longitude, 3104 km from northeast of Sandakan, Sabah. Sandakan, Sabah is a very familiar place to me. Visited here from 75 - 88 and Jaymz take note this is a few kilometers away from Keningau. ;D ;D ;D You are not in Sabah are you and didnt cause this earthquake? |

Thanks for posting the links related to this "triangle of Life" and about the author... ;D ;D ;D In my view about this author, it is only like a bikers who make a review for the parts he don't have or never use it... but still can make a review based on some magazine and reading materials... some sort of a scientist doing analysis about the missing link... for me, I learn from this "triangle of life"... I think this is applicable here in my place... where the building can not stand the >7M earthquake... |

;D,hehehe what i know about eathquake is that every feb14, there are micro-earthquake all over the world simultaneously 
, did i predict it right 
who knows.... 
heheheheh....
