Cathy Kennedy The horrifying collapse of the Champlain Towers South in Florida last month that killed at least 95 people is a reminder of how frail a seemingly sturdy structure can suddenly become. In California, we have also seen large buildings fall with deadly consequences, most often when the ground starts shaking. When the edifice is a hospital, it is a double calamity, affecting not only patients, visitors and families buried by the tremor, but everyone in the community who loses access to their now incapacitated hospital. A 1971 earthquake in northern Los Angeles County killed 64 people, 49 of them at the Veterans Administration hospital in Sylmar. Two decades later, the 1994 Northridge earthquake forced indefinite closure of three Los Angeles hospitals because of structural damage. Dozens of others sustained such severe battering they had to evacuate patients.
