Both external links in this article return 404 errors. I don't have time to search for the new links at the moment - will try to get back soon to do it, but if someone else feels inclined to make the changes before then, feel free. Ahrie (talk) 16:30, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

I could not verify the comments below and removed them. If the comments can be substantiated, please reinstate with citations.
- The soft sediments of these buildings (made from mud and sand) and the negligence of some businessmen and architects of not using the adequate structures were the reasons these buildings collapsed. (I could not verify the culpability of businessmen and architects.)
- The rescue workers saved more than 4,000 lives, including newborns from the hospital.
I removed the following comment because my sources indicated it was incorrect - the epicenter was off the coast.
