Directly underneath the hypocentre and not far from this point the damage was massive. ‘If you project that hypocentre to the surface, you would get the epicentre which is the latitude and longitude,’ he said. Those who were within two kilometres of the hypocentre had 50 times the expected incidence within five years.
