I hope my simulations will educate the general public about potential earthquake related hazards and create more curiosity about Earth Science in general. I do also hope that my videos will inspire a future generation of amazing architects, engineers and scientists! We all need to peacefully work together to make this world a better place. :)

My goal is to show people around the world the effects of different earthquake shaking levels on various buildings and structures.

These simulations along with my piano music (Spotify/YouTube: @pardonmypiano

    Very true. In every movie when Los Angeles is destroyed by an earthquake, US Bank Tower always collapse
  • @Dylan_770
    I thought it was going to be way worse I thought all the buildings we're going to collapse😢😅
  • Well I live in Santa Monica and work in downtown LA. Not worried as our building is built to latest California earthquake standards. Not worried about what Hollywood thinks only what actual structural engineers think! I like my chances whether at home-also built to code, the office, or in my shelter with a month’s supply of food and water!
  • I thought the other buildings would fall also but it’s okay
  • @SupersuMC
    I can guarantee you Hollywood will make a post-Big One documentary and still ham it up.
  • @Josemordata
    cool simulation! about hollywood vs. reality
  • @ShadowESH
    Can you do a video of material comparison with "Steel", "Wood", "Concrete" and "AAC Blocks", please. AAC blocks, which use advanced materials and engineering techniques, provide better seismic performance than normal concrete blocks during earthquakes of higher magnitude. AAC blocks are more reliable and safer than traditional building materials. AAC blocks are earthquake resistant because they are light in weight.
  • @ShayminLover492
    The only reason why they make the US Bank Tower collapse in Hollywood disaster movies is because they do it as a show of symbolism (and because they want to test their brand new physics engine since they almost always work with fancy CGI)
  • @rlas
    Well good to know that many buildings would be safe
  • I have a question, do all "rich cities" have buildings that can withstand strong earthquakes?
