EXTRACT FROM DOUG COPP'S ARTICLE ON THE 'TRIANGLE OF LIFE'
My name is Doug Copp. I am the Rescue Chief and Disaster Manager
of the American Rescue Team International (ARTI), the world's
most experienced rescue team. The information in this article
will save lives in an earthquake.
I have crawled inside 875 collapsed buildings, worked with
rescue teams from 60 countries, founded rescue teams in several
countries, and I am a member of many rescue teams from many
countries. I was the United Nations expert in Disaster Mitigation
for two years. I
have worked at every major disaster in the world since 1985,
except for simultaneous disasters.
In 1996 we made a film which proved my survival methodology
to be correct.
The Turkish Federal Government, City of Istanbul, University
of Istanbul Case Productions and ARTI cooperated to film this
practical, scientific test. We collapsed a school and a home
with 20 mannequins nside. Ten mannequins did 'duck and cover,'
and ten mannequins I used in my 'triangle of life' survival
method. After the simulated earthquake collapse we crawled
through the rubble and entered the building to film and document
the results. The film, in which I practiced my survival techniques
under directly observable, scientific conditions, relevant
to building collapse, showed there would have been zero percent
survival for those doing duck and cover. There would likely
have been 100 percent survivability for people using my method
of the 'triangle of life.' This film has been seen by millions
of viewers on television in Turkey and the rest of Europe,
and it was seen in the USA, Canada and Latin America on the
TV program Real TV.
The first building I ever crawled inside of was a school in
Mexico City during the 1985 earthquake. Every child was under
their desk. Every child was crushed to the thickness of their
bones. They could have survived by lying down next to their
desks in the aisles. It was obscene, unnecessary and I wondered
why the children were not in the aisles. I didn't at the time
know that the children were told to hide under something.
Simply stated, when buildings collapse, the weight of the ceilings
falling upon the objects or furniture inside crushes these
objects, leaving a space or void next to them. This space is
what I call the 'triangle of life'. The larger the object,
the stronger, and
the less it will compact. The less the object compacts, the
larger the void, the greater the probability that the person
who is using this void for safety will not be injured. The
next time you watch collapsed buildings on television, count
the 'triangles' you see formed. They are everywhere. It is
the most common shape, you will see, in a collapsed building.
They are everywhere.
TEN TIPS FOR EARTHQUAKE SAFETY
1) Most everyone who simply 'ducks and covers' when buildings
collapse are crushed to death. People who get under objects,
like desks or cars, are crushed.
2) Cats, dogs and babies often naturally curl up in the fetal
position. You should too in an earthquake. It is a natural
safety/survival instinct. You can survive in a smaller void.
Get next to an object, next to a sofa, next to a large bulky
object that will compress slightly but leave a void next to
it.
3) Wooden buildings are the safest type of construction to
be in during an earthquake. Wood is flexible and moves with
the force of the earthquake. If the wooden building does collapse,
large survival voids are created. Also, the wooden building
has less concentrated,crushing weight. Brick buildings will
break into individual bricks. Bricks will cause many injuries
but less squashed bodies than concrete slabs.
4) If you are in bed during the night and an earthquake occurs,simply
roll off the bed. A safe void will exist around the bed. Hotels
can achieve a much greater survival rate in earthquakes, simply
by posting a sign on the back of the door of every room telling
occupants to lie down on the floor, next to the bottom of the
bed during an earthquake.
5) If an earthquake happens and you cannot easily escape by
getting out the door or window, then lie down and curl up in
the fetal position next to a sofa, or large chair.
6) Most everyone who gets under a doorway when buildings collapse
is killed. How? If you stand under a doorway and the door jamb
falls forward or backward you will be crushed by the ceiling
above. If the door jam falls sideways you will be cut in half
by the doorway.
In either case, you will be killed!
7) Never go to the stairs. The stairs have a different moment
of frequency' (they swing separately from the main part of
the building). The stairs and remainder of the building continuously
bump into each other until structural failure of the stairs
takes place. The
people who get on stairs before they fail are chopped up by
the stair treads - horribly mutilated. Even if the building
doesn't collapse, stay away from the stairs. The stairs are
a likely part of the building
to be damaged. Even if the stairs are not collapsed by the
earthquake, they may collapse later when overloaded by fleeing
people. They should always be checked for safety, even when
the rest of the building is not damaged.
8) Get Near the Outer Walls Of Buildings Or Outside Of Them
If Possible - It is much better to be near the outside of the
building rather than the interior. The farther inside you are
from the outside perimeter of the building the greater the
probability that your
escape route will be blocked.
9) People inside of their vehicles are crushed when the road
above falls in an earthquake and crushes their vehicles; which
is exactly what happened with the slabs between the decks of
the Nimitz Freeway. The victims of the San Francisco earthquake
all stayed inside of their vehicles. They were all killed.
They could have easily survived by getting out and sitting
or lying next to their vehicles. Everyone killed would have
survived if they had been able to get out of their cars and
sit or lie next to them. All the crushed cars had voids 3 feet
high next to them, except for the cars that had columns
fall directly across them.
10) I discovered, while crawling inside of collapsed newspaper
offices and other offices with a lot of paper, that paper does
not compact. Large voids are found surrounding stacks of paper.
The world gets crazier and crazier everyday, doesn't it? The world that many
of us thought was there, isn't. The bottom has dropped out of everything. The
illusions have been revealed, we have found out who has been pulling the strings
behind the scenes. Millions have lost their jobs, have mortgage
problems, and
foreclosure. What can be done? Amazingly, we have been mislead. We have been
taught that we can control government by voting. The founder of the Rothschild
dynasty, Mayer Amschel Bauer, told the secret of controlling the government
of a nation over 200 years ago. He said, "Permit
me to issue and control the money of a nation and I care not who makes its
laws." Get
the picture? Your freedom hinges first on the nation's banks and money system.
It's all about 'commerce'. Freedom is connected with Debt Elimination for
each individual. Not only does this end
personal debt, it places the people first in line
as creditors to the National Debt ahead of the banks. They don't wish for
you to know this. It has to do with recognizing WHO you really are in A
New Beginning: A Practical Course in Miracles, an informational study. Is
your credit rating bad for reasons that seem out of your control? There are
ways of credit repair,
so you can men those broken fences too. Do you want to keep your children protected
from outside forces, there are ways of protecting
your children. Do you want
to keep your sons and daughters free from 'the draft'? Check this out.
