WorldExperts report repeated pancake collapses after Venezuela earthquake

An expert team investigating last month’s major earthquake in Venezuela, South America, says buildings repeatedly collapsed almost vertically in what is known as a “pancake collapse.” The specialists point to weak ground and insufficient structural strength as causes. The findings highlight how the quake produced a distinctive and dangerous pattern of building failure in affected areas.
