A powerful earthquake struck Morocco's High Atlas mountains late on Friday, killing at least 296 people, destroying buildings and sending residents of major cities rushing from their homes.
Most people die crushed by buildings, or suffocate or die of hunger/thirst after being trapped for days in the rubble. Even in a small building; if the quake is strong enough, there is no escaping. The building will collapse too fast.
