    Did they put something to represent human and human-related things inside the condo? I'm not a civil engineer but I'm sure that the weight factor of these things are also important to determine the structural integrity of the building.

    The Northridge quake was a magnitude 6.7. A 7.5 magnitude temblor would be almost 30 times as powerful, not 1.5. Magnitude is measured on a logarithmic scale.

    Great, so I'm going to lose my stomach at 8am (PST) when I arrive at the 7th floor southern California office tomorrow morning. I'll still watch it, knowing that a recent 5.4 was a pretty good shake, and this will be over 100 times greater in strength. :(

    Edit: 9:15pm, an earthquake just shook my apartment. Naturally, I ran to hold the plasma.

    See, THAT'S what you do to prove a point. I just wish these 9/11 Truthers could do something similar, and run into a burning building and rig it to implode on video. Then I might buy their theory.

    Do they re-build/repair the building after each shake?

    @2DaysTillTheState_GitEmSteveDa...: I just wish 9-11 Truthers would run into a burning building and stay there.

    Hmmm, two recent Japanese videos: This one features a shaking condo and the other features shaking boobies in slo-mo.



    The natural twin stuctures of the other video held together under a higher magnitude of force.
