On December 26, 2003, a moderate 6.6 magnitude Iran earthquake 2003 struck Bam city, causing immense devastation. The true scale of the tragedy stemmed not from the ground shaking, but from the widespread building collapse, devastating the historic Citadel Bam. This event highlighted how vulnerable construction can turn a natural hazard into a catastrophic loss of life.
This video explores the tragedy of "manufactured vulnerability". We analyze how 80% of Bam's traditional adobe and masonry structures failed, causing heavy earthen roofs to "pancake" onto sleeping residents. With over 26,000 lives lost—including half of the city's healthcare workers—this disaster reveals a critical lesson: the real killer wasn't the ground shaking, but what was built on top of it.
Discover how hidden inequalities in architecture turn survivable events into social apocalypses.
