Why did some of the buildings survive the Kobe earthquake and some did'NT?

Buildings that were retrofitted to withstand earthquakes or those built with seismic design features were more likely to survive the Kobe earthquake. On the other hand, older buildings or structures that were poorly constructed were more susceptible to damage or collapse. Additionally, the soil composition and proximity to the fault line also played a role in determining which buildings survived and which did not.
