DITO PALA NAKALIBING ANG MGA RUBY TOWER EARTHQUAKE VICTIMS

The "Ruby," a six-story reinforced concrete building, completely collapsed, as a result of which 268 people died and 260 people were injured. Up to another 10 such buildings almost collapsed and had to be demolished. Non-structural damage to buildings occurred in many, though hardly all, regions of the city. Two hundred seventy (270) persons were killed and 261 were injured as a result of the earthquake. A six-storey building in Binondo, (Ruby Tower) Manila collapsed instantly during the quake while several major buildings near Binondo and Escolta area in Manila sustained varying levels of structural damages. The 7.3-magnitude 1968 Casiguran earthquake, centered more than 200 km (120 mi) away, hit at 4:19 am and caused the building to collapse in a pancake fashion burying over 500 people. A volunteer force of over 6,000 mobilized to free the victims trapped in the rubble, as there was no government disaster plan in place at the time. Many people were rescued alive, including about 30 who later died from their injuries. At least 260 people were injured. The rescue effort turned to recovery and lasted over a week. Not all of the bodies were identified. #undas #manilarubytower #manilachinesecemetery #cemeteries #chinesecemetery #sementeryo #camposanto manila chinese cemetery chinese cemetery manila ruby tower earthquake victims ruby tower victims
