The Triangle of Life is Spreading Around the World
Fighting for children's lives against self-interest, greed, and shareholder profit.
The triangle of Life was discovered by Doug Copp when he crawled inside of a collapsed school, in Mexico City, during the 1985 earthquake. As Doug crawled up and down the aisles, in safety, he was shocked that all the children were crushed to death under their desks. The ceiling had fallen and the weight had ‘snapped’ the legs of all the desks.The ceiling rested upon all the desk tops and remained intact. The children were 1/2 inch thick. Doug did not know it at the time but 3 children had survived this horror. Their English affidavits are at www.amerrescue.org with links to the original Spanish language publications Two girls who were, in the aisles survived untouched. Lorena had her legs squashed under the desk. Her torso was in the aisle. Her legs needed to be amputated but she survived.
Doug ‘s life was changed. He was on a mission to stop children from getting under desks. In 2000 he wrote an article for American Survival Guide Magazine.This 5 page – 13 picture article described the triangle of Life and how to survive collapsed buildings. http://www.amerrescue.org/arti_survivalarticle.htm
Doug posted the article, on his website and was contacted by an unknown reader who asked permission to condense the article into an email and send it to some friends. It is conservatively estimated that 1 billion people got that email. It went from family member and friend throughout the farthest corners of the world.

Notice in the following link how many times it is mentioned that rescuers search the void spaces for survivors. No mention here of anyone doing Duck, Cover and Hold!

An hour long radio Interview with New Zealand concerning the triangle of life took place with Doug the day before this writing. http://insearchofsimplicity.com/my-radio-shows/
The Triangle of Life is Spreading Around the World
As the German Philosopher Shopenhauer stated: The path of all truth follows 3 steps. First it is ridiculed, second it is violently opposed and Thirdly it is accepted as self evident.
Doug Copp is quoted: “American Insurance Companies continue to violently oppose the triangle of life because surviving school children require compensation for emotional or traumatic injury. Shareholder profits are reduced. Many USA bureaucrats continue to oppose the triangle of life because the insurance companies have told them that their premiums will increase or their coverage will be dropped, if they change to the triangle of life. This is wrong and unacceptable to any decent person. Children’s lives are more important than Insurance Company profits. Does this sound like the truth behind the Health Care Debate, in the USA? It is. Corporate Profit vs. human life”
Read the article (part of a series of 9 articles supporting Doug Copp) as published by the Desert Valley Star , a California newspaper, exposing the malicious lies and attacks against Doug Copp
‘Duck and Cover’ cannot be defended; since, it is nonsense and the “triangle of Life’ is as true and real as gravity; therefore, the only means of protecting corporate greed, at the expense of school children’s lives, has been to attack Doug Copp, personally. As an unpaid volunteer, who has risked his life and dedicated his life, to saving people from disaster, Doug Copp has been defamed and discredited as a ‘knucklehead’, ‘idiot’, ‘criminal’, ‘phony’, ‘fraud’…and worse. Criminal acts have been made against him and his life has been threatened.
Doug Copp’s response: ” I follow my conscience. Their lies are not enough to stop me. They will need to kill me. After my death, I will face God and know that I did everything I possibly could to protect the children. I will have a clear conscience. Period.”

Thank you very much from my heart for those livesaving information you provided. I see your prescriptions are scientifically tested and really comply with common sense, hence, it convinced me. As my country PNG lies on the ‘Pacific ring of Fire’ an active plate known for major earthquakes and volcanoes I feel it is VERY neccessary for my and my collegues who are exposed to this info to pass to our country’s disaster management office and to all our our citizens by all means in order to atleast save some unneccessary deaths because we are very prone to eart quakes.
