A public prosecutor opened a manslaughter investigation at the weekend, saying the collapse of the school was "anomalous."

"We've been talking about earthquake prevention for years, but people, the government, media, nobody does anything until people are killed," said Enzo Boschi, head of the National Geophysics Institute, adding that more tremors were expected.

Makes you wonder how many builders in America are going to be doing time for 'taking shortcuts'in building codes. Some liability will no doubt fall on the builing inspectors who looked the other way (or were paid off).

Guess time will tell....
