    Props to the engineers who made those buildings in Japan! They stood strong
  • @ucruci
    7.1 and minimal damage. Only in Japan. This would cause catastrophic destruction in other countries.
  • @macmacmacdre650
    right after a Japanese engineer wanted to make shakeless building structures, unbelievable
  • @acerdan
    Poor Japan. They always get really bad earthquakes. Prayers for all the Japanese people.
  • @jlvandat69
    Sobering to realize that one day we'll wake up to headlines 100X worse than this......e.g., magnitude 8.5+ hits a major city, and/or major tsunamis striking populated coastlines. Stay safe as practical, folks.

    Atleast Japanese know how to build apartment buildings that don't crumble and fall apart.
