This is a rough edit video created by doug copp, completely different from the 5 part professional video you will find below. This video explains ‘How to Survive Building Collapse’. It is composed of video segments of doug copp on many major TV networks explaining ‘How to Survive’. You will hear announcers( like James Woods, Shepard Smith etc) describing doug as ‘one of the most experienced rescuers. in the world and another describing ARTI as an Elite Team. This actual footage proves that ARTI is the world’s most experienced rescue team. In spite of some attacks and claims that doug never rescued anyone you will be able to see doug, doing so, with your own eyes. You can’t stand up against evil and not expect to be scourged. The more good you do the worse evil attacks you. You would find it incredible the hatred, lies, attacks, illegal and criminal actions taken against me to stop my work. Always a volunteer and using my own money; This is my life’s work. It has cost me dearly.
See, with your own eyes, people who survive in survivable voids ,’ triangles of life’.

The Triangle Of Life
Protecting you from duck and cover.
"It is not the earthquake which kills you. Getting crushed under a squashed desk or table kills you.
Misinformation from bureaucrats or phony experts who have never crawled into a collapsed building kills you.
All rescuers agree: You can survive by fleeing the building if you can get out the ground floor or getting into a survivable void, next to a large, bulky object."

Duck and cover is wrong!
Press here to watch the scientific survival test conducted by ARTI, a Federal Government, a University and a Major City. Real TV broadcast this test around the world.See for yourself what really happens when buildings collapse.You will never look at a desk without cringing. Duck and cover is proven to be certain death.

The video link to watch Bert the Safety Turtle ( US Gov't during the Cold War teaching people to duck and cover to protect yourself, from a nuclear explosion, by hiding under a blanket, is here. It is a parody on the Civil Defense Film of the 1950's. Watch it by clicking on the ARC Red Dollar Cross.
Click here to read; "How to Survive Building Collapse."
published in The American Survival Guide Magazine. This article contains 13 pictures illustrating the basic principles of surviving building collapse as discovered by rescue teams while recovering dead bodies and rescuing victims, inside of actual collapsed buildings.
This 6 page article is NOT written by a bureaucrat or phoney safety expert. It is written by someone who has experienced the joy of saving survivors in the 'triangle of life' and removing the corpses of victims who got squashed because of 'duck and cover'.
Read Doug Copp's actual speech as published and distributed, in the Chinese Government Book (in English and Chinese). It is the definitive work on surviving building collapse: The First International Forum: China City’s Disaster Prevention and Mitigation both in English and Chinese. This speech was given during May , 2005 to several different Chinese Government Agencies.

Don't forget to look under the 'triangle of life button'! and scroll down the main page , for the Chinese lecture, published by the Chinese Government, in English and Chinese and read the 'How to Survive' article from Survival magazine. Protected by this information you can survive an entire city being destroyed.
During Building Collapse most people die unnecessarily!

A word from our Executive Director, Doug Copp
"This is sure to save a lot of lives. No one who reads this will ever get under a desk again"
Doug Copp is the Executive Director of "The American Rescue Team International" - (ARTI); and Earthquake Preparedness & Rescue of California (EPRC).
The American Rescue Team International provides extensive urban heavy rescue training, worldwide, including more than 60 conferences to date. Doug Copp is the inventor of the Copp Life Locator, an electronic device used exclusively by ARTI in disasters to reduce the
time required to locate victims to minutes.
Surviving in a Collapsed Building.
By Doug Copp, The American Rescue Team International
According to the OSHA-USA published statistics, 2.2 rescuers die per victim in confined space rescues. Doug Copp has beaten that estimation time after time. He has worked more than 79 disaster events and tunneled inside of more than 700 collapsed buildings. Through earthquakes,
tornadoes, landslides, hurricanes and many other emergency responses, Copp's intense understanding of disaster mitigation and complex demolition has kept him alive. This knowledge and skill have taken him allover the world to teach methods to others.

Kaiser Permanente Hospital, Northridge, 1994.
The American Rescue Team International, E.P.R.C. has been at most of the world disasters of our generation. The Team's Rescue Chief has personally crawled through 700+ collapsed buildings searching for life and saving life. We know what happens when a building collapses and what areas
are safe and what areas are not.

A parking garage in Mexico City, 1985.
A little knowledge about how buildings collapse can save your life. When buildings collapse during a disaster like an Earthquake, voids are created, that is, areas that are not completely squashed but rather protected in some way to form a space where life can exist.
If you are in a void when a building collapses, you will survive. The big question is how to spot those areas that will most likely become voids. The American Rescue Team International can help you with that.
Voids are found next to or surrounding big, bulky objects. Large objects don't completely squash; they leave a space surrounding them. These are the spaces which allow trapped victims to survive. You can survive in these voids.
If you get under objects you become squashed. It is very simple and yet up to 200-300,000 people die, every year by getting under a desk or table and getting squashed when the legs snap.
Like a little girl, in Seattle told her teacher: " How many tons of concrete do you think your 'teacher's desk' can support?" This little girl refused to get under her desk. You can read her letter by scrolling down the right side of the homepage.

A home in Kobe Japan, 1995. Notice the Piano to the right. The piano provided support such that a void was created nearly large enough for Doug to stand upright.
A void may be found in front of your sofa or surrounding your bed. A void may be found next to filing cabinets, next to a floor safe or next to a desk. A void will save your life!
This shot is from the Presidential Compound of El Salvador.
Look closely at the left side of the photo. You will see Doug Copp crawling between the concrete slabs.
Under the concrete slabs, all the people were crushed to death. Most were found underneath their crushed desks! Next to their desks, the aisles remained safe. The crushed desks supported the slab, and provided a safe area for access. That is how Doug was able to tunnel to the victims. The space high enough for Doug to crawl the 80 ft distance to the other side.
"This place convinced me that desks always cause you to be squashed. On prior occasions I have been in schools with lighter desks where all the children were squashed".
Duck and cover on the other hand will take lives if the building collapses. Duck and cover only makes sense if the building doesn't collapse. If you duck under a desk to take cover, you will be squashed when the ceiling comes down.

Inside of a collapsed train station, Kobe. This is typical of what the Rescue Team crawled through in 4 hour operational shifts.

Another shot from inside the train station in Kobe. Team members crawled in a zigzag pattern through a path about 800 feet long, with about 1 1/2 to 2 feet of head room, looking for survivors. This photo is typical of the voids or spaces in the station.

Just like in this picture, the people inside their cars were squashed. It happens far too often. During the last San Francisco earthquake in 1989 many victims inside their cars were squashed. If they would have got next to their cars they would have survived !
The American Rescue Team International has been there. We have seen it. We can assure you that survival is really that simple!
Good News,

Regardless, it shows a feeble mind and a feeble logic to go after a fundamental principle of nature like gravity and ' the triangle of life' by attacking the messenger to avoid dealing with the issue or the truth.
This has been the tactic of the 'dark side'; since, Roman times when the expression: " If you can't attack the message then attack the messenger." was first created.

, the triangle of life will continue saving lives and 'the longer the hold-out for the 'duck and cover' intransigents' the more that history will know them in an un savoury light.
This is a battle for the lives of people; especially, school children.
I tell parents to put as much energy into promoting the triangle of life as you care about the survival of your child.

Oct 18, 2005. Back on a positive note: an email from David Pottier to a Turkish Publication.....After the recent quake in Izmit, MyMerhaba staffers (US Embassey in Turkey) posted an article on Earthquake Preparedness read below and see that they changed it to agree with the 'triangle of life'
One statement in that article really stuck out.
"Get under cover. If you are indoors stay there. Place yourself in an open doorway or under a desk or other strong furniture. If you are in a high rise, don't use elevators. Use the stairs."
Sadly statements like the above take lives instead of saving them.
I am a Canadian and a member of the international rescue community with the qualified rank of "On Scene Commander". The old US Department of Defense "Duck and Cover" technique does not work, nor does it save lives. Survivors of earthquakes are found beside heavy objects in a collapsed structure, victims are found under them because the "Ducked For Cover". Rescuers call this surviver / survival area the "Triangle of Life"
Objects like a refrigerator, a stove, photocopy machine, a counter, heavy desks and the like will usually bear the weight of a collapse. This "Triangle" creates the void that is used by rescuers when we crawl through collapsed structures.
Secondly, you mention stair wells. As a favour the next time you are in a stair well, look up. The bottom of that stair case fits perfectly into the one you are standing on, stair for stair. Should it collapse it will do an excellent job of creating a "perfect fit" leaving no void space, hence crushing anything and everything in its path. Not a safe place to be in an earthquake.
Further information on the "Triangle of Life" can be found on the American Rescue Team's web site and some real insight into "Duck and Cover" from the Bert, the Cold War Turtle, can be seen here. There is only one way to increase your chances of surviving a structural collapse
and that is to be inside a Triangle of Life. Get one today. They're Free!

Dear Mr. Pottier,
Thanks for your interest in www.mymerhaba.com and your precious comments on “earthquake preparedness” article. The article was taken from the American Embassy.
We made the following changes;
“Get under cover. If you are indoors stay there. Place yourself in an open doorway or beside heavy object. Objects like a refrigerator, a stove, photocopy machine, a counter, heavy desks and the like will usually bear the weight of a collapse. This "Triangle" creates the void that is used by rescuers when they crawl through collapsed structures.”
“If you are in a high rise, don't use elevators; use the stairs." In this sentence we replaced “point” with “semicolon”, as far as we understand the “Use the stairs” is not for the “Triangle”. It is just to emphasize not to use elevators.

Subject: RE: relation b/w peal ground acceleration and Seismic Zones
This would be my approach to resolve this question:
2.4 to 4.0 m/s^2 = 7.87 to 13.1 ft/s^2 = 0.24g to 0.41g (where g=32.2 ft/s^2)
If the Soil Factor is 1.0, this would roughly relate to Zones 3 to 4 (Z=0.30 to 0.40). However, "ZS" should be considered together to determine the ground acceleration for a given site. If "S" is higher than 1.0 then the related "Z" would be lower.
For ASCE 7 related parameters, Sds is 2.5*ground acceleration, so these values would relate to Sds values in the range 0.61 to 1.02. Again, these factors would include soil effects (Fa). (The related MCE value at short period, Ss, would be 1.5*Sds/Fa.)

Dear Syed:
To focus on the matter of real concern is: Will the building collapse and will the people survive.
People who survive are people who find themselves in a void, inside of the rubble, which is large enough to allow their body not to be squashed. These survivable voids (bigger than the body in it) are found next to large, bulky objects.
The more force applied to a structure the more likely that it will exceed the critical point and have structural failure:
To determine the amount of force which will be applied to the structure based upon a presumption or 'guesstimate' of peak ground acceleration and a nomenclature of seismic zoning is like looking at a photograph of someone's feet and guessing their weight, height and eye color.
There are so many relevant factors in the equation which will determine force applied to the structure ( magnitude of wave, duration of wave, type of wave, frequency of wave, depth of wave, direction of wave, soil type, surrounding soil type, subterranean rock formations, water content of soil, adjacent interacting structure types, frequency of structures etc etc etc etc) that it becomes little more than a series of probabilities based upon the interaction and combination of another series of probabilities.
Better to make buildings as safe as economically appropriate, put them in areas which are less likely to induce liquefaction and/or intensify wave force, in areas less likely to have earthquakes, and then tell the people to avoid being squashed should the building collapse by getting into a survivable void/'triangle of life' .
It all becomes more important than an intellectual guessing game or parlor game when the net result is smashed bodies.

There is a disaster preparedness event planned at Seattle Center Exhibition Hall on October 21 & 22nd. I checked to see what it was going to be about and was shocked to learn that one of their demonstrations will be "Duck & Cover" I just thought you might like to be aware of this. I have also learned that despite your television coverage in this area many are still being taught duck & cover. Maybe it's time to come wake the Seattle area up before it's to late. Many say this area is due for a big earthquake soon.

Dear Rosita:
We are making a 90 minute video called the 'Triangle of Life'. The producer is almost finished. I am getting a first edit tomorrow.
I am profoundly pleased because it uses real footage of myself and my team saving the lives of victims in the 'triangle of life' , actual footage in the disasters, and a fantastic interview with tremendous accompanying and illustrative footage.
Most importantly and with great clarity it shows the utter insanity of 'duck and cover', from it's birth as a series of 'Cold War' propaganda commercials.This propaganda was distributed by the US Government. The commercial we use shows a family at a picnic. When the NUCLEAR FLASH from the Atomic Bomb appears, in the distance.... the singing jingle of 'Bert the Dancing Civil Defense Turtle' starts to sing while the mother, daughter, son and pet dog all 'duck and cover', under the blanket.
Except for the father at the barbecue!
He can't reach the blanket!
He is too far away!
He puts a newspaper over his head and 'duck and covers' under it!!
I am not kidding! I am serious!
This is how 'duck and cover' started. It absolutely 'blows my mind' . I am left incredulous.
When I think back of all the crushed, squashed bodies; especially little children ....and their pools of blood .... I have crawled past and through, in the rubble, emerging with their blood on my body and clothes..... all as a result of this utterly bizarre propaganda campaign getting out of control.... I am left speechless. This is where the policy of 'duck and cover' which has a Universal 98% death rate originated. To understand that many millions of people have died because of this ludicrous nonsense is bewildering.
Bloodsuckers and completely immoral, unethical and indeed murderous phony 'experts' have been promoting it ever sense.
Anyone who sees this film will be bewildered, shocked and stunned that they could have possibly been so 'brain washed' as to believe they could have possibly 'duck and covered'. The viewer will feel like he woke up from a trance.
I have spent 10+ years in preparation to make this film. Financial beneficiaries of 'duck and cover' have libeled me, slandered me and done every kind of slimy, deceitful, evil and mean thing to me except 'drag me out and hang me'. Well, this video makes it all worthwhile.
Finally, it all came together with our footage, our script, and our genius producer ( Ed Flemington). I believe this video is a masterpiece and will save millions of lives. This video will finally squash 'duck and cover'.

cybersurfer says:
Duck and cover is valid for snow ball fights, among children, not for building collapse
Doug says:
That is good. I might use that.
cybersurfer says:
Hey use this one, too, duck and cover is useful for locating the children when its all over.. just look under the desks
cybersurfer says:
That wet spot under the desk is "Little Bobbie"
Doug says:
no kidding
Doug says:
I remember
I remembered crawling up and down the aisles of a collapsed school and seeing every child squashed. Only a little hand or foot escaped. This was in Mexico City, in 1985. I learned that 'duck and cover' was death and people survive in spaces next to desks. I discovered the 'triangle of life' or 'it discovered me'. "

Congratulations on the upcoming film. I checked the "Bert the Turtle" safety film link and one thing that really stood out was that while little Bert ducked and covered himself in his shell and remained safe, the nearby house was blown completely off its foundations.
From this film, we all learned one very important lesson, and that is, while an atomic blast has enough force to blow a two story house away it does not have enough force to blow a turtle away. I think there is a second lesson in that scene - the children had entered the house and ducked and covered for safety. Yea!
Seconds later the entire house was blown into oblivion by the outgoing atomic wind. I was saddened that they did not show the next phase of the atomic wind and that is the return trip as the wind gets sucked back into the blast zone.
Mom and the kids could have waved from the safety of their duck and cover hiding places as the structurally intact house rushed past Bert heading for the intense heat of the atomic blast. You could almost hear little Johnny say, "Hey Mom, pass the marsh mellows."
I think we both know that FEMA knows what is safe and what kills. From the recent events in New Orleans, we both know what type of expertise runs FEMA. I think we both know that tis issue is all about liability. Imagine the law suits that would spring forth if FEMA ever changed its stand on "Duck and Cover" and admitted they had been wrong for all those years. Every surviving relative of every victim that was ever located under something would have grounds for a law suit.

Did you know?
that:
(An excerpt from the rough speech prepared for Chinese Government Officials regarding the Triangle of Life) History:
‘Duck and cover’ was created as a political, and propaganda tool during the cold war. The problem is that In the United States it started as part of an advertising campaign to calm the populations from fear of nuclear warfare. TV commercials were made to promote ‘duck and cover’ with ‘cute’ jingles sung to the theme of ‘duck and cover’. This had very little basis in logic or reason; for example, one of the commercials had a ‘cartoon’ , ‘animated’ family in a clearing of the forest. The father, mother, son, daughter and pet dog were having a picnic. They had a blanket spread out on the ground with sandwiches and other picnic treats set upon it. They were happy. All of a sudden, a flash of brilliant light, appeared in the distance. They all new it was an atomic explosion. They all continued to smile because they knew how to be safe. The boy lead the way by lifting the blanket and sticking his head underneath. The father smiled approvingly and put his head underneath the blanket. The rest of the family did the same. The dog even stuck his head underneath, next to the boy. The scene changed to a view of them all under the blanket smiling at each other, in complete safety. The musical jingle continued to singing the words that ‘duck and cover’ would make you safe. The Dept of Civil Defense adopted ‘duck and cover’ in their publications concerning Urban heavy rescue ( this manual was essentially a ‘grown –up’ adaptation of the boy scout manual on tying knots and using walking sticks; however, it told you to ‘duck and cover’.). This was 1952.
In 1952 Television had not yet been tarnished. Everything that appeared on Television was taken as absolute fact. The propaganda was set. Mission accomplished. Duck and Cover was not created as a means to save lives during building collapse. It is not being challenged by the ‘triangle of life” as a new and improved means of surviving building collapse. It was created by a marketing Dept as a propaganda tool to calm the population during a time of potential political unrest. Duck and Cover as a safety procedure is statistically a complete failure. This is why 98% of the population dies during building collapse
Things have changed. ‘Duck and cover’ has been ‘burned’ into the minds of the populations from mandatory teaching and drills, in schools. The children are taught, to drop to their knees and crawl under their desks. During structural failure this results in almost 100% death. A survivor becomes a Television celebrity because it so rare for a survivor to exist.
The ‘duck and cover’ process is perpetuated by bureaucratic intransigence. Everyone knows how difficult it is to change something that is ‘burned’ into the minds of a population by a bureaucracy who initially had an objective of convincing a population for political purposes and then became its own ‘victim’; as the children, themselves, grew up to become the bureaucrats.
Galileo had a similar problem, in convincing people; that the earth was not the center of the universe. The bureaucracy, at the time, being the ‘Catholic Church’ thought it would lose credibility if it admitted that God had not made man and 'man’s home', the Center of the Universe.
Again, Columbus had the same problem convincing ‘the establishment’ that the world was not flat and you would not sail-off or fall-off the edge of the world if you traveled to China. Columbus was right. When I came to China I did not fall of the edge of the world. It was the promise of wealth that convinced the King and Queen of Spain to finance Columbus’ quest not truth or science. .
The Response to perpetuate duck and cover:
‘Duck and cover’ is further perpetuated, in Capitalist countries because it has become commercial, in nature. The American Red Cross with an annual budget of 6 billion to 12 billion dollars is prohibited by law from ‘doing any rescue’; however, they are adamant in perpetuating ‘duck and cover’ because they have convinced (like the Church in Galileo’s time) the American Public that they are experts in safety. They are afraid that a change in policy would make the American Public stop giving them money or it would negatively impact their revenue flow.
The published response of the American Red Cross, through Rocky Lopey, the Director of Disasters, ARC Headquarters (aka. Described by the San Francisco Chronicle as The Marble Palace’), Washington, DC. for example, is to attack me personally, and publish their response. The response by the ARC is to concede , at this point, that the ‘triangle of life’ is appropriate for third world countries but not for the United States ( their financial base). They claim that it is not appropriate for the American public to do ‘triangle of life’ because America does NOT have earthquakes and American buildings do not collapse. The logical and reasonable mind reflects upon 2 quotes of philosophy: “If you can not destroy the message then destroy the messenger”. and “ The path of truth has 3 stages. First it is ridiculed. Secondly, it is violently opposed and thirdly it is accepted as self evident.”
The question is how many people will lose their lives before the American Red Cross and those that are like them will find the way to capitalize on the ‘triangle of life’ and adopt it as being self evident and I expect that the American Red Cross; will then, have the nerve, to take credit for creating the Triangle of Life.
It has been as difficult to change policy from the ‘brainwashed ‘belief in ‘duck and cover’ as it had been for Galileo and Columbus.
Read the actual speech as published and distributed, in the Chinese Government Book (in English and Chinese): The First International Forum: China City’s Disaster Prevention and Mitigation both in English and Chinese.
In this publication, of Doug Copp’s written speech, the reference to the American Red Cross was changed to:” A Major Commercial Interest”…6 to 12 billion dollars revenue source per year…from ‘duck and cover’...etc..etc..

The Third Chinese Newspaper, also, has a picture of Doug.
The German Philosopher Schopenhauer said: " All truth passes through three phases: First it is ridiculed, secondly it is violently opposed and thirdly it is accepted as self evident."
Galileo was placed under house arrest for 15 years because he said that the earth was not the center of the universe. The bureaucrats and 'special interests' hated him so much they wanted to burn him at the stake.
Columbus was ridiculed, as a fool, for many years, and put in prison as a heretic because he said the world was not flat.
With appropriate humility and please understand, in practical terms, in your life, who cares about the planet earth being the center of the universe? It doesn't dominate your life. In practical terms, If you are concerned about earthquakes:'Duck and Cover'will kill you. Doug Copp and reality inform you that people survive building collapse in survivable voids not by hiding under things that are squashed. The 'Triangle of Life'. (There is as much as 40 billion dollars at stake with ‘Duck and Cover’). How many lives is that worth to ‘special interests’. Concerned countries have already changed. The countries that don't have 'special financial interests'.
For 19 years Copp and his wife lived under the poverty line while working 80 to 100 hours per week for ARTI. Now I am dieing and sick every day for 3 ½ years. Do I have regrets? No, I am grateful beyond words for being so lucky to have such a wonderfully good life.
Christ, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, John F Kennedy, Robert Kennedy were all murdered because of their quest for a better humanity. It is routine for any person who stands up for ‘humanity’, to be destroyed. The ones who make the difference are the ones who don’t stop. They are willing to die for something greater than they are.
The 'Triangle of Life' will become self evident, not only to people with intelligence and common sense but to everyone.
I am ridiculed no more, threatened no more, persecuted no more and violently opposed no more than anyone else who discovered something important that offended 'special interests'
The info below should overwhelm any proponent of 'duck and cover'.

We had 1,200,000 hits on our website, during one month.
Take care of your family and your life. Nothing is more important.

Seattle Earthquake
ARTI chief, Doug Copp, arrived in Seattle, as a result of this letter. Please read.You will understand the desperate need for the 'triangle of life'. This woman was later informed by Washington State Officials that it is cheaper and less trouble to deal with dead children (from 'duck and cover') than deal with a possibly cut child (who would possibly sue)Understand that many Washington State Officials have purchased Copp's training films ( which all include material about the 'Triangle of Life'. Copp starts every training session with the 'triangle of life'. Dead rescuers don't rescue anybody; however, financially they consider it cheaper for victims to die.
ARTI Chief, Doug Copp appeared on a one hour prime time special, FOX Network, throughout North America. Saturday March 3, Sunday March 4th 2001 to tell the world about the Triangle of Life.
’Triangle of Life Video’
This is a video created by doug copp which explains ‘How to Survive Building Collapse’. It is composed of video segments of doug copp on many major TV networks explaining ‘How to Survive’. You will hear announcers( like James Woods, Shepard Smith etc) describing doug as ‘one of the most experienced rescuers. in the world and another describing ARTI as an Elite Team. This actual footage proves that ARTI is the world’s most experienced rescue team. In spite of some attacks and claims that doug never rescued anyone you will be able to see doug, doing so, with your own eyes. You can’t stand up against evil and not expect to be scourged. The more good you do the worse evil attacks you. You would find it incredible the hatred, lies, attacks, illegal and criminal actions taken against me to stop my work. Always a volunteer and using my own money; This is my life’s work. It has cost me dearly.
See, with your own eyes, people who survive in survivable voids ,’ triangles of life’.

Duck and cover is wrong!
Press here to watch the scientific survival test conducted by ARTI, a Federal Government, a University and a Major City. Real TV broadcast this test around the world.See for yourself what really happens when buildings collapse.You will never look at a desk without cringing. Duck and cover is proven to be certain death.

The video link to watch Bert the Safety Turtle ( US Gov't during the Cold War teaching people to duck and cover to protect yourself, from a nuclear explosion, by hiding under a blanket, is here. It is a parody on the Civil Defense Film of the 1950's. Watch it by clicking on the ARC Red Dollar Cross.
Click here to read; "How to Survive Building Collapse."
published in The American Survival Guide Magazine. This article contains 13 pictures illustrating the basic principles of surviving building collapse as discovered by rescue teams while recovering dead bodies and rescuing victims, inside of actual collapsed buildings.
This 6 page article is NOT written by a bureaucrat or phoney safety expert. It is written by someone who has experienced the joy of saving survivors in the 'triangle of life' and removing the corpses of victims who got squashed because of 'duck and cover'.
Read Doug Copp's actual speech as published and distributed, in the Chinese Government Book (in English and Chinese). It is the definitive work on surviving building collapse: The First International Forum: China City’s Disaster Prevention and Mitigation both in English and Chinese. This speech was given during May , 2005 to several different Chinese Government Agencies.
