The blue-grey massif of Kashmir, rising north-eastwards towards the Karakorum range, lies astride the India-Himalaya tectonic plate boundary. The 7.6 magnitude event struck, just north of Muzaffarabad, on the morning of Saturday 8th October, 2005. What made this the most destructive terrestrial earthquake of the past 25 years was the vulnerability of the several million people living within its zone of impact.
