How frequent are the earthquakes in Newcastle?
On December 28, 1989, a magnitude 5.6 earthquake struck Newcastle, causing extensive damage and killing 13 people. This earthquake proved that even Australia is not immune from damaging earthquakes causing significant human and economic loss. Most of the damage occured to unreinforced masonry buildings which had been built between 1900 and 1950. Over 3000 residences were damaged throughout the city. Until recently Newcastle was a steel manufacturing city, (BHP Steel closed late 1999) but at the time of the earthquake the steel mills were not severly damaged and gas and electricity sub stations did not incur major damage. Generally speaking, most modern structures were generally not damaged; the exception was the Newcastle Workers Club, where a section built in 1972 collapsed, killing 10 people. The club was built in two main parts; an older unreinforced masonry section and a newer concrete frame section four stories high with underground parking. The collapse of the Newcastle Workers Club began at the top of the club causing the building to cascade into itself trapping patrons and workers within the building. The photographs below are of the rescue operation in the proceeding hours just after the earthquake and the resulting demolition of the Newcastle Workers Club. The photographs are from the Earth Exchange and were salvaged at the time of the simulator being removed from the museum.
How many people died December 24 2004?
You do not mention if you are looking for a worldwide number - which would not be available - or if you are referring to a particular incident. If you are talking about the 8.1 Tasmanian earthquake, there were no deaths or tsunamis from that. The really devastating Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami occurred on December 26, 2004. Upwards of 275,000 people died from that.
