1908 MESSINA EARTHQUAKE MEDAL

December 28, 1908 from about 5:20 to 5:21 am an earthquake of 7.2 rs occurred
centered on the city of Messina, in Sicilly.


 Reggio Callabria on the Italian
mainland also suffered heavy damage.

The ground shook for some 30 to 40 seconds, and the destruction was felt within
a 300 km radius. Moments after the earthquake, a 40-foot (12 m) tsunami struck
nearby coasts causing even more devastation. 93% of structures in Messina were
destroyed and some 70,000 residents were killed. Rescuers searched through the
rubble for weeks, and whole families were still being pulled out alive days
later, but thousands remained buried there. Buildings in the area had not been
constructed for earthquake resistance, having heavy roofs and vulnerable
foundations.

Malta also suffered from an earth tremor and was then hit by a tidal wave caused
by the Messina earthquake. The King of Italy sought help from Britain and a
Field Ambulance section of RAMC (Royal Army Medical Corps) with two members of
the QAIMNS (Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service) and a
Stationary Hospital were transported to Messina in Sicily by the Royal Navy.
They took with them ten days supplies and rations.

Once in Sicily the RAMC and the Queen Alexandra's Sisters cared for survivors of
the Earthquake on board HMS Minerva and HMS Duncan which were set up as dressing
stations. A Stationary Hospital was set up in nearby Catona in what was a market
place on the 2 January 1909. The QAs worked with two volunteer nurses from Malta
until the 15 January 1909 when all four nurses returned to Malta. There is more
written about the Messina Sicily Earthquake 1908 in the book Queen Alexandra's
Royal Army Nursing Corps (Famous Regts. S) by Juliet Piggott..

Good stuff
Size: 50 sqft, Size: 50 sqft
Good stuff. I did a lot of work on my 91 Toyota Land Cruiser 3FE. I did the inside and outside doors, as well as the under-hood area, with some extra work. I like this stuff. It sticks down good but you have to clean your surface so there's a good grip. I think these are going to do well for noise cancellation. The deadening material does well with absorbing vibrations too. But the install roller tools it will come in handy. Trust me trying to do it by hand is not worth it.

Works well

Worked great at a budget price. I used it to damp a fiberglass loudspeaker horn. Easy to work with too.

Good material but bites back
Size: 20 sqft
Very good product for my rear trunk and backseat on my mustang. I would recommend some type of gloves due to the foil itself when placing down will cut up your hands and fingers. Overall good product for its price.

Great sound mat for the price!
Style: 50 mil 50 SqFt, Style: 50 mil 50 SqFt
This is a good product. Many people go with KILMAT because of the value to price point. I did as well. When you clean the surface (in my case it was all painted metal) this stuff sticks very well. I do recommend you use a seam roller of some type, I used Lumiteco 3 piece roller set. This will help with adhesion and mostly flatten the overlapped edges. It also helps you see where you have rolled as it leaves little grooves. The difference when we had no sound mats and after was very impressive. We haven't finished our install yet and it is quieter than when we had an interior in the van. There are thicker mats available in other brands, but this will work great for our van build, but this helps keep the weight down. It is quality material, just be careful when you are removing the backing, the edge of the foil face can cut you. I suggest you layout where you are installing the mat and cut to fit. From what I have read, you don't need to cover every inch in the vehicle, just spot install for a big difference. I chose to cover most surfaces to help keep sound out when we are sleeping in the van. We haven't finished putting the van yet, but we have driven it around and been very satisfied with this product.
