it’s an average day in Chengdu China
until the city is suddenly rocked by a
natural disaster of epic proportions
a massive 8.0 earthquake the fault line
is deep below the earth we’re two
opposing land masses press against each
other building up more and more pressure
until finally one side slips releasing
as much energy as a thousand atomic
bombs for the people in this 8 story
office building shaking earth and
falling debris spell disaster for two
whole minutes the structure is brutally
rattled and now coming apart at the
seams
the building is collapsing brace
yourself and step into this killer quake
what would you do hey stay put and take
cover
be take shelter in a doorway or see run
for the closest exit
here’s what you should consider you’re
caught in an 8.0 quake on the first
floor of an eight-story office building
and the walls around you are beginning
to collapse above you concrete and steel
begin to buckle a building this size can
weigh as much as 15,000 tons nearly
twice as heavy as a Navy destroyer you
might think most new buildings in
earthquake zones are built on dampers or
rollers to absorb movement but those
systems are still surprisingly rare any
second now the whole thing is coming
straight down on you make your choice
hey be
or C so what would you do
