Earthquake wreaks havoc in the Philippines
More than 1,000 people are killed when a 7.7-magnitude
earthquake strikes Luzon Island in the Philippines on this day in 1990.
The massive tremor wreaked havoc across a sizeable portion of Luzon,
the country’s largest island, with Baguio City suffering the most
devastating effects. The epicenter of the quake, which struck at 4:26

instances of the new lesson were the main cause of damage and death. Getting out of a multi-story
building was a good safety precaution that afternoon, although many
people were injured and a few even died in stampedes of others doing
the same thing.
At Christian College, a six-story building completely collapsed,
trapping approximately 250 students and teachers inside. Heroic rescue
efforts saved many, but
some victims who did not die in the collapse were found dead later
 from dehydration because they were not pulled out in time.
All types of buildings, including several resort hotels in Baguio,
known as the Philippines’ Summer Capital, suffered tremendous
damage. Most of the city’s 100,000 residents slept outdoors that
evening and during the following week, afraid to return to their homes
amid the frequent aftershocks. For days, workers pulled bodies from
the demolished buildings in Baguio. The best estimate is that 1,000
bodies were eventually recovered. At least another 1,000 people
suffered serious injuries. Rescue efforts were hampered severely
because the three main roads into the city were blocked by landslides.
Hundreds of motorists were stranded on the roads as well.
