Drone footage reveals devastated Moroccan town following earthquake

Drone video on Tuesday (September 12) showed the destruction of a 12th-century mosque and the surrounding villages of Tinmel and Arghen Valley as the 6.8 magnitude earthquake's death toll neared 3,000.

The quake caused major damage to the historically significant Tinmel Mosque in the High Atlas mountains, an earth-and-stone building dating back to the medieval dynasty that conquered North Africa and Spain

In the village of Tinmel, almost every house was pulverized and the entire community has been left homeless. Residents said they had pulled people out of the rubble with their bare hands.

The earthquake which is the deadliest in six decades, struck in the High Atlas Mountains late on Friday, (September 8) with the epicentre 72 km (45 miles) southwest of Marrakech.

truly tragic. They haven't really had a quake like this since 1960 however they're well aware that the atlas mountains are on a fault line. in fact we as a species keep building these homes in areas we know we shouldn't be. Be that on the side of a mountain, volcano, in a tsunami zone.

importance of building regulations and legal oversight

Why build houses made of clay near a fault line ?? Always going to look more devastating.
