Shuttle’s sonic booms shake
L.A. skyscrapers, study says
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Sonic
booms set off by a descending space
shuttle created ground motion that
showed earthquakes may shake Los
Angeles skyscrapers more violently
than once thought, scientists said
Monday.
“Engineers say we don’t need to
worry about it, but I’m not so sure,”
said geophysics professor Hiroo Ka-
namori of the California Institute of
Technology in Pasadena. “It’s time
to really think about this problem
more carefully and more seriously.”
The study by several Caltech and
U.S. Geological Survey scientists was
outlined by Kanamori during the
American Geophysical Union’s fall
meeting.
The researchers found that the
shuttle’s characteristic twin sonic
booms thumped 400 high-rise build
ings in downtown Los Angeles and
the nearby Wilshire district when the
shuttle Columbia swept to the north
east over the city at 2,600 mph be
fore landing at Edwards Air Force
Base Aug. 13.
The early morning booms
prompted dozens of alarmed calls to
police. The shuttle was returning
from a five-day mission to deploy a
spy satellite.
The thumps against the buildings
were transmitted down to the soft
sediment of the Los Angeles Basin,
triggering seismic waves that
reached Caltech instruments 12.5
seconds before the sonic booms were
heard there. That’s because waves
move more quickly through rock
than through air.
Buildings 20 to 30 stories tall tend
to sway back and forth once every 2
to 3 seconds, making it possible that
“in an earthquake, the Los Angeles
basin would preferentially amplify
ground motion . . . giving 20- to 30-
story buildings more shaking than if
they were founded on (solid) rock,”
Caltech said in a news release.
USGS seismologist Jim Mori, a co
author of the study, estimated build
ings on the sediment would shake
three to five times worse than those
on solid rock.
H owever, that’s less severe i:i
the tenfold and greater ampli®
tion of shaking during the jn
quakes of 1985 in Mexico City,
rests on an old lake bed.
“While these results certainlvc
for close study, I don’t befc
there’s any cause for alarm," s

Vietnamese community
recovers from homicides
PORT ARTHUR (AP) — In the
wake of a triple homicide in Port Ar
thur’s Vietnamese community in
July, residents literally feared for
their lives.
Since that time, officials with the
Port Arthur Police Department’s
Asian Task Force have worked
around the clock in an attempt to
ease the mood among residents in a
community they call the “Area of
Peace.”
The shooting at the Pho Tau Bay
Restaurant on July 12 forced em
ployees and customers to run for
their lives. Three men were killed
during the morning hours as they
sat at a table eating breakfast in the
crowded restaurant, located at 720
Ninth Ave.
Some say the nightmare continues
to haunt them. Others say they have
tried to put the flashbacks to rest.
Loan Tran, manager of the res
taurant, said business has “drasti
cally” declined since the shootinj esc
July. “Every now and thenyouit j§ ei
see a large crowd in here, butnios
it’s nobody,” Tran said. “We« ( 1
making $150 a day before alU
happened, and now we’re dowi
$70 and $80 a day.”
She said the restaurant had
about $5,000 since July. Trans
the restaurant closed for aboH
month after the shooting. “We«’<
all just scared,” Tran said. Tm !

Tran said she does not thinks
will help them forget what b
pened.
