3 Three people dead from a 6.3 doesn't say much for Iranian building codes.

4 Thirty people dead and 800 injured. If that had been in LA or Tokyo people would have shrugged and gone about their business.

5 Then they would question the wisdom of building a nuclear power station along an active fault line.

6 "doesn't say much for Iranian building codes"

Iran has building codes? (Other than In'shallah.)

7 Iranian building codes and a Russian design. Doesn't sound like a match made in Heaven.

Casualties resulting from relatively small earthquakes is a long-standing tradition in Iran, especially in the smaller cities and towns. Something they share with Pakistan.

And yes - it's due to a lack of building codes (and no small amount of pay-off if building codes do exist.)

12 It seems they got the Evil Zionist Earthquake Machine operating after they bought off of Halliburton (why couldn't they of been called HalleyBerry)
