Hello,

there is a video on YouTube:
here the link:

It don't regard the l'aquila quake, but what Prof. Boschi said about a
different area in 2008, the area in question is the Padania region
(Emilia-Romagna) where a major earthquake happened the last May and
where also a really really bad effect of soil liquefaction happened.

It is in italian.

I extracted the key points and quickly applied english subtitles
I did not posted it on Youtube and please don't upload it anywhere.
You can just download from my web area and watch it.

This is how they talk and think...
do you still believe they don't should be brought to the court?


Best regards
Mauro
