A large earthquake which struck north of the Croatian capital Zagreb on Sunday killed a 15-year-old child, health officials have said.
“An ambulance team took to the field and found under a collapsed building a child who no longer showed signs of life, said Zarko Rasic, the head of the Zagreb Emergency Medicine Institute.
The quake struck north of Zagreb on Sunday, GFZ German Research Center for Geosciences said, damaging buildings, sending many people into the streets, burying vehicles in rubble and causing several fires.

Another minor was badly injured and the quake caused several fires and power blackouts in parts of the capital, hospital and emergency services said.
Zarko Rasic, head of the Zagreb Emergency Medicine Institute, a children’s hospital, said a 15-year-old was in a critical condition after being found by an emergency services team under a collapsed building and another minor had been admitted with head injuries from a falling roof. He did not give further details on the persons’ identities.
GFZ downgraded the magnitude of the quake from an initial reading of 6.0.
“It lasted over 10 seconds. By far the strongest I have ever felt,” one witness said, adding that it was followed by several aftershocks.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake measured 5.4, while the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) also reported 5.3 magnitude, followed by another 5.1 magnitude earthquake.
I was extremely lucky (as you might have gathered by my posts) and I had almost no damage in my flat. But I gotta tell you, since I live on groundlevel that I now feel every car which passes as a sign it might start again and my adrenalin glands are quite "confused" and Im swamped with adrenaline even now. Im not scared but my body is prepared for chaos, fight or flight!
This was indeed a very strong earthquake for this region. Or two, one after the other? As you saw the hardest in 140years! And I said recently in C.V. monster thread how we all seem to be cursed by that old curse: May you live in interesting times. I hope it will not get THAT MUCH more interesting tho . Maybe I can handle extra stress and am not easily scared but Im the only one like that in my family. Twould be cool if this event will rattle the brains of the hypnotized majority and maybe they will see that corona scare is fake and open a window for change in the community. @istina said it best:
Its quite sad cause I think older people will be/are hit the hardest, most of them have only small pensions that barely get them by and a lot are in debt. Due to large emmigration and negative natality they are a larger part of population. Many dont have anyone for their needs and will be turning to government even more now. Cant even start to imagine what are tyey going through today. And they were are all already "clubbed to death" by MSM and their fear-mongering... and to get hit by this at 6:30 on Sunday!!! Whats worse they are all pretty much glued to radios and state-tv who are now doubling the quantity of fear-instilling and confusing announcements. CV madness already started an economic crisis and this will make it even worse. Only one guy (Pernar) in our parliament is saying whats the real situation and NO ONE there listens...Everywhere in the media goes #stayathome campaign (corona virus), and now citizens in Zagreb are asked to stay outside! Mother Nature speaks the truth.
I follow the situation in CT and Serbia closely and I see all sorts of things that others dont. Few days before CV madness started our prime minister had a meeting with the heads of all big media-outlets behind closed doors. And the whistleblower journalist who was denied access (Margetić) was attacked on Saturday in his yard by mafia who wants to openly take over the Croatian Footbal Association and all the fan organisations. They are a huge cash cow and MANY are football fans. EDIT: I just felt a new tremor!! 2 seconds at 19:01... adrenalin spiking!!! thats freekin crazy!!!)
Im waiting for reports but we dont have any independent media so we never know what to expect from msm. Sometimes the reporting is good but sometimes its either tabloid or propaganda.
It will be even harder because our national hospitals are all falling apart without earthquakes and I hate to think what it looks like on some wards!!! ( I had the misfortune to be a guest 2 times for serious stuff in last 6 years so I know, they almost killed me after operations with the way they do care after they cut you open.. and Im a social case so I had to fight for care while I was almost dead. If I hadnt been this stubborn and loud and proud for myself Id be dead two times. They save you with knives and scalpels and then they try and kill you with nursing )
This earthquake was no accident in my view. We are starting to see that we are connected to the whole univers, not just our mother planet. With the US troops landing in EU and all this CV madness it is right on cue!!
And I checked RSOE/EDIS map and saw that there were dozens of earthquakes in last 2 days from Dubai to Poland. Supposedly some volcano in Greece got back to life too! Havent found the info on that tho, just heard it from a knowledgable source.
Ill post now befor I maybe blow up here!!! Send light to this region all!!
(EDIT: 19:06 all fine, just one tremor)
Regards
AND BE SAFE ALL!
