People take pictures of a collapsed bridge in Guayaquil, Ecuador on April 16.

David Rothery, a professor of planetary geosciences at The Open University, northeast of London, says that the quake in Ecuador began deeper underground than the recent Japan quakes, which would have lessened the shaking on the ground. But the greater loss of life and greater damage in Ecuador can be attributed to the country's less stringent construction codes.
