One sees that a lot in parts of the world that have no forests to build with wood.  Rigid masonry that fails during even a modest earthquake and anyone inside is libel to get killed.  That same quake in Japan or California would have killed a dozen people, tops.

Woah if this is correct a 5.6 quake and a death of 154 then again it calls into question how the building codes are even considered leading up to this in Nepal.

If a modest sized earthquake kills hundreds or thousands of people, that's how you can tell your human development index is pretty low.

Of course I say that living in a place where sustainable forestry is an easy reality.  Lumber is gonna be way more expensive when practically one's entire country is above the timberline, so they're stuck with masonry for most structures.

That was a brief, but photogenic eruption.  That town ain't in the clear yet as that system's still got magma on the move, so watch out for another eruption this winter.
