You're probably wondering, what are those lines and the data that is on the screen?
00:04
Well, the reason why trucks like this are in Athens, but also on Greek island of Santorini,
00:10
the picturesque island, is because in the past 10 days, more than 300 tremors have taken
00:16
place.
00:17
And that has raised a lot of alarms among the scientific community here in Greece, but
00:21
also the authorities.
00:24
The public as well, though, are now on edge because every 10 minutes for the past 10 days,
00:29
the earth has been shaking underneath their feet.
00:32
That has been causing a lot of seismic activity, and of course, it's making them worried.
00:37
They're on the edge.
00:38
That's why thousands of them left the island and went to areas, nearby islands, or came
00:44
here in Athens to find refuge, because they're concerned what the future might look like.
00:49
Now, scientists are monitoring and they are doing research with trucks all over the country
00:55
like this to see if there's going to be any change in patterns, and perhaps if there
01:00
could be a larger quake.
01:02
Now, they are telling people to stay calm, but we have to be vigilant, they say, because
01:09
there is a possibility on the one hand that things might come down and we won't have any
01:15
issues and in the next few days, the quakes are going to stop.
01:18
But there is also a possibility that a larger earthquake might take place, and something
01:24
that could cause significant damage.
