Quake advice in e-mail called dangerous by scientists BY GLENNDA CHUI, KRT Wire
Mass e-mails are annoying, but this one could be deadly.
A message getting wide circulation on the Internet has alarmed rescue experts, who say it offers misleading and dangerous advice about what to do in an earthquake.
It says that when the shaking starts, you should lie down next to something heavy and strong rather than duck under it. That is where a 'triangle of life' will supposedly form if the building collapses - a void where you can be safe.
'Everyone who simply `ducks and covers' when buildings collapse is crushed to death - every time, without exception,' says the e-mailed advice from self-styled rescue expert Douglas Copp. 'People who get under objects, like desks and cars, are always crushed.'------------------------------------------- posted 9:02 AM :: reference link ::
