Crushes and Collapses | LeechFest Ep 36

Buildings collapsing and health risks! Very different episode from our usual, but we figured it'd be interesting to talk about natural disasters and how they affect human health, and what better point to start than earthquakes. We do also mention terrorism at points just because terrorism can obviously also lead to buildings collapsing, which in turn can lead to all of the same health consequences, but our main focus is earthquakes. In the episode, we go over the health risks of getting trapped in a collapsed building (both some obvious, and less obvious ones), then talk about how earthquakes may cause structures to fall, and also discuss earthquake preparedness - both in terms of earthquake prediction, prevention and management.
