Nepal earthquake pictures show extent of destruction across Kathmandu

Incredible images and footage taken from a drone over Kathmandu have revealed the shocking extent of the destruction across Kathmandu, following Saturday's devastating earthquake. Buildings in Kathmandu's historic Basantapur Durbar Square (pictured left) have now been reduced to rubble (inset left), while the open space, usually full of locals and tourists enjoying the historic sites (bottom right), is now full of desperate residents who have gathered there amid fears that their homes will collapse in the series of aftershocks (top right). Aerial images also show huge cracks in roads, fallen monuments and flattened houses after the Nepalese capital was rocked by a 7.8-magnitude tremor at the weekend. The city remains short on shelter, fuel, food, medicine and power as its people searched for lost loved ones, sorted through rubble for their belongings and struggled to provide for their families. One expert claimed the city moved 10 feet in just 30 seconds during the quake. Roger Bilham, a geologist at the University of Colorado, said portion of the Earth's crust around 120 miles long and 40 miles wide shifted south.

Is California next? US Geological Survey warns risk of magnitude 8 or larger 'Big One' earthquake has increased dramatically

A new California earthquake forecast by the U.S. Geological Survey and partners revises scientific estimates for the chances of having large earthquakes over the next several decades. 

The Third Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast, or UCERF3, improves upon previous models by incorporating the latest data on the state?s complex system of active geological faults, as well as new methods for translating these data into earthquake likelihoods. 

The study confirms many previous findings, sheds new light on how the future earthquakes will likely be distributed across the state and estimates how big those earthquakes might be. 

Compared to the previous assessment issued in 2008, UCERF2, the estimated rate of earthquakes around magnitude 6.7, the size of the destructive 1994 Northridge earthquake, has gone down by about 30 percent. The expected frequency of such events statewide has dropped from an average of one per 4.8 years to about one per 6.3 years. 

However, in the new st

A new report from the U.S. Geological Survey has warned the risk of 'the big one' hitting California has increased dramatically.

It's been just over three years since Dana Vulin (left, before the attack, the burns she suffered, centre, and today, right) was set alight by jealous Natalie Dimitrovska (inset right) and turned into a 'human fireball' at her Perth home, resulting in horrific third degree burns to more than 60 per cent of her body.

A bridge too far? Villagers risk their lives to rebuild ancient Inca walkway 100ft above the river using handmade grass ropes

Keshwa Chaca: The Last Inca Rope Bridge\\n\\nFive hundred years ago when the Incas were expanding their empire over the highlands of the Andes, they developed an incredible network of roads to move armies, people and goods quickly and efficiently over the mountains. But the landscape was treacherous comprising mostly of high peaks and deep valleys, which meant they needed bridges, and lots of them.\\n\\nThe bridges were an integral part of the incredible Inca road system that stretches for 40,000 kilometers, from modern-day Ecuador to Argentina. Depending upon the availability, the bridges were made of a variety of materials ¿ wooden logs, stones, floating reeds or hand-woven from straw and tall grasses that grew on the high Andes. These bridges had short lives and needed to be replaced every few years. After the last of the Incas disappeared in the early 17th century, so did almost all of these bridges. Only one has survived, thanks to the effort of the local villagers who rebuild it

Centuries after the end of the Inca kingdom, just one of their 200 rope bridges remain - the Keshwa Chaca that spans the Apurimac River near Huinchiri, Peru, in the Province of Canas.
