When tremors began shaking Guatemala in November 1917, no one expected they’d continue through late January 1918—or change how the Central American nation is built. But after Guatemala City was almost completely destroyed, it was rebuilt with cement that better withstood the rumblings and convulsions of tremors and earthquakes, and the work became a foundation […]

It’s not the type of theft that evokes images of a high-speed chase with screeching sirens and flashing lights. But picture, if you will, someone attempting to steal something like a 6,000-pound skidsteer, typically used for excavation. It’s hard to imagine these large pieces of construction machinery being pilfered off the job site under the […]
