An earthquake measuring 8.4 on the Richter scale devastated the Kathmandu Valley, killing an estimated 10,000 people and reducing most buildings to rubble.

Then a sparsely populated Valley, Kathmandu is now a bustling metropolis of 2.5 million people, according to the 2011 census. In places like Patan and Asan, houses stand shoulder-to-shoulder, ready to fall like dominoes.

Over 90 percent of buildings in the city are non-engineered, meaning they do not comply with building codes, estimates the National Society for Earthquake Technology, an NGO. When a big quake hits the city, experts estimate a fatality of 100,000 with over 300,000 injured. The damage will be colossal.
