.:: Do not go down through ladders when earthquake happens!::.

When an earthquake happens, people usually residing in Jakarta buildings scattered skyscraper directly to the emergency stairs down to the page. This custom was not true. Therefore, the steps are part of the building earthquake resistant least most easily collapse alias.

"This is wrong. The earthquake fall immediately if there is wear down the emergency stairs. Based on its structure, the fire escape was not designed to anticipate an earthquake, but to fire," said Endy Budyanto construction practitioners in conversation with AFP, Thursday (3/8/2009) .

Actually that should be done when an earthquake happens, the residents of better-storey building still used in the building until the earthquake rocked completed. After the earthquake stopped, and then they fell down the emergency stairs.

He explained that the parts most vulnerable buildings collapsed by an earthquake in a sequence of steps, beams, plates or the floor, and the last is the pole. So if an earthquake happens when people are scrambling down the stairs, even feared it would make a ladder collapsed due to not hold the load.

"We should remain in place until the earthquake stopped, only then they get out," Endy advice.
